Fish commission elects new chairwoman
Umatilla tribal leader N.
Kathryn “K at” Brigham was
selected by th e C olum bia
R iver trib e s as th e c h a ir
w o m a n o f th e C o lu m b ia
River Inter-Tribal Fish Com
mission.
B rig h am is o n e o f th e
f o u n d in g m e m b e rs
of
C R IT F C . She p re v io u s ly
served as commission chair,
from 2008-09.
Introduced to fisheries is
sues as a ■ y o u n g a d u lt,
Brigham w ould accom pany
her grandfather and respected
tribal leader Sam K ash Kash
to meetings. There, her grand
father and Sam instilled in
B righam a need to p ro tec t
fisheries resources for the
next seven generations.
“ M y te a c h in g s a b o u t
salmon and our fishing rights
go b a c k to w h e n I w as a
young girl,” she said. “We
have a responsibility to fight
for those treaty rights, for our
tribal m em bers and the next
generations o f tribal m em
bers.
“T rib al fam ilies o n the
Columbia River are exercis
ing their treaty rights and pass
ing dow n traditions to chil
dren, and now grandchildren.
O ur people deserve to know
that their rights are being pro
te c te d an d e n h an c ed , n o t
threatened or diminished.”
Today, Brigham serves as
the secretary o f the Board o f
Trustees o f the Confederated
Tribes o f the Umatilla Indian
Reservation.
A staunch advocate and
tribal treaty fishing rights, she
was first a p p o in ted to the
Umatilla tribe’s fish and wild
life comm ittee in 1976. D ur
ing her tenure at CRITFC,
she has been instrumental in
the im p lem entation o f the
1976 M e m o ra n d u m ' o f

(Yakama Nation).
W. Wash, tribes say fishing rights at risk
(AP) B M o re th a n 150
years ago, Indian tribes in
w estern W ashington ceded
m uch o f the state to the fed
eral governm ent in return for
g u arantees o f salm on and
other fishing rights.
Now, those tribes say their
treaty rights with the U.S. are
at risk because the region is
losing h a b ita t th a t salm on
n eed to survive. T h ey say
their treaty rights w on’t m ean
m uch if there’s no salmon to
harvest. T hey warn o f poten
tial court action if m ore isn't
done.
In a rep o rt last summer,
the tribes said the federal gov
ernm ent has not lived up to
its obligations under treaties
signed in 1854 and 1855.
This spring, three federal
agencies proposed a plan to
address those concerns. O ne
federal official says the agen
cies take seriously the issues
the tribes raised.
