John McCoy, a state representative from Washington, to discuss the measure and whether it has the ability to reconcile.

Tribal Fishery Opposes Washington Coal Terminal
https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2013/12/11/tribal-fishery-coal
WBUR. By Ashley Ahearn. 5 minutes, 19 seconds.
About a quarter of all the coal the U.S. exports goes to Asian markets. To meet the demand, there are plans to build what would be the largest coal terminal in North America at a place called Cheery Point in the far northwestern corner of Washington state.
But there’s a hitch. The waters surrounding Cherry Point support a fishing industry worth millions of dollars. It’s also a sacred place for the Lummi tribe, whose reservation is nearby. And thanks to a landmark legal decision in the 1970s, tribes have the right to weigh in on — and even stop — projects that could affect their fishing grounds. This episode includes Tim Brewer, a Tulalip Tribal lawyer.

Theresa Pouley, the chief judge of the Tulalip Tribal Court, said the new jurisdiction will make a drastic difference in how the tribe can keep the community safe.

Concern Over Landslide-Logging Connection Near Oso Is Decades Old
https://www.kuow.org/stories/concern-over-landslide-logging-connection-near-oso-decades-old
KUOW. By John Ryan. 3 minutes.
Saturday’s deadly slide was the latest in a long string of landslides to hit the area known as the Hazel or Oso slide along the North Fork Stillaguamish River. State and tribal officials have known about and tried to block landslides on that spot for half a century. Despite the known hazards, the slopes above the slide area have been clearcut multiple times. The Tulalip Tribes were so concerned with landslides hitting the Stillaguamish River and its prime salmon habitat that they blocked a proposed timber sale above the Hazel slide in 1988. This episode features Kurt Nelson, a hydrologist with the Tulalip Tribes.

KUOW. By John Ryan. 3 minutes.

KUOW. By John Ryan. 5 minutes.
Seattle just wrapped up its wettest March on record, with 9.4 inches of rain reported at Sea-Tac International Airport. Geologists say near-record rain in the Cascade foothills was key in triggering the fatal landslide near the town of Oso, Wash., on March 22. But they say clear-cutting nearby could also have worsened the risk of the hillside collapsing. This episode features geomorphologist Paul Kennard, who works at Mt. Rainier National Park now, but in the 1980s he worked for the Tulalip Tribes north of Seattle.

KNKX. By Carrie Johnson. 3 minutes, 55 seconds.
The Justice Department is trying to make it easier for Native American tribes to gain access to national crime databases. Federal authorities say the program could prevent criminals from buying guns and help keep battered women and foster children safe. A court connected to the Tulalip Tribe had issued a restraining order against the boy’s father for domestic violence. But that information never showed up in the federal criminal database, leaving the man free to purchase a gun. The boy used that same gun to kill himself and four classmates. His father now faces criminal charges.
