“For us, it’s a homecoming. We will once the House of Awakened Culture. again be able to walk the lands in the heart of our community,” said Suquamish Tribe Cultural Coordinator Tina Jackson.

On May 31, 2018 the 50-year lease of the area known as Suquamish Shores expired, returning control of the property to the Suquamish Tribe. Tribal government officials have been anticipating the return for more than two decades, working with the Tribal community to create a comprehensive long-term plan for the area.

“Our community has been clear in the desire to create a multi-use space, along with additional housing and facilities for our elders,” said Suquamish Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Bardow Lewis.

As part of the plan, the property will be redeveloped in three phases over the next ten years. Work on phase one, which includes community spaces, is scheduled to begin in late summer 2018. Plans call for a park near the Suquamish waterfront, along

Tribal Council Passes Good Samaritan Law To Prevent Opioid Deaths New law provides for overdose prevention immunity from prosecution

by Melody Allen

Overdose of opioids, such as heroin and prescription painkillers, cause brain injury and death by slowing and eventually stopping a person’s breathing. Drug poisoning deaths on the Port Madison Indian Reservation, in the State of Washington, and on a national level have increased at a staggering rate. An opioid overdose medication, when administered to a person experiencing an opioid-related drug overdose, can save the person's life by restoring respiration. Increased access to opioid overdose medications reduces the time between when a victim is discovered and when he or she receives lifesaving assistance from opioid overdose medication before medical assistance can arrive.

On May 15, 2018 and by Resolution # 2018-17, the Suquamish Tribal Council passed an amendment to the Chapter 7.26, Controlled Substances, of the Suquamish Tribal Code (STC). One of this purposes of this new amendment, STC § 7.26.11, the “Good Samaritan Law Overdose Prevention, Immunity from Prosecution”, is to save lives by increasing access to opioid overdose medications that are lawfully dispensed to Suquamish community members with instructions on how to administer the medication and instruction on the proper response

to an opioid-related overdose, including instructions for seeking immediate medical attention. Any person may lawfully possess, store, deliver, distribute, or administer an opioid overdose medication pursuant to a prescription or order issued by a practitioner or pharmacist

An opioid overdose medication, when administered to a person experiencing an opioid-related drug overdose, can save the person’s life by restoring respiration.

Another important purpose of STC § 7.26.11(e) is that it provides immunity from prosecution when a person is experiencing an opioid-related overdose and is need of medical assistance or when a person who acting in good faith and exercising reasonable care who seeks medical assistance for someone experiencing an opioid-related

overdose. In those circumstances, a person will not be charged or prosecuted for possession of a controlled substance pursuant to STC § 7.26.3, or for possession of drug paraphernalia or penalized under STC § 7.26.9, if the evidence for the charge of possession of a controlled substance was obtained as a result of the person seeking medical assistance. A person qualifies for the immunities only if the evidence for the charge or prosecution was obtained as a result of the drug-related overdose and the need for medical assistance.

The immunity is not grounds for suppression of evidence in other criminal charges and does not affect laws prohibiting selling, delivery, or exchanging drugs arising from the same event and no other immunities or protections from arrest or prosecution for violations of the law are intended or inferred.

The act of providing first aid or other medical assistance to someone who is experiencing a drug-related overdose may be used as a mitigating factor in a criminal prosecution for which immunity is not provided (STC § 7.26.11(h)). If you have questions or would like a copy of STC § 7.26.11, please contact Meg Daly at (360) 3948491, mdaly@suquamish.nsn.us

Seeking Information About Old Man House & Doe-keg-wats

Tribal member input about historical and cultural relevance key to new National Register project

by Dennis Lewarch

The Suquamish Archaeology and Historic Preservation Program has received a grant from the National Park Service to update a National Register of Historic Places form for Old Man House Park and to prepare a National Register form for Doe kag wats Marsh at Jefferson Head.

We are seeking input from Suquamish Tribal members on the cultural and historic importance of the two areas to demonstrate their significance as traditional cultural properties. Traditional cultural properties are areas which are considered significant in Tribal history and culture

by Tribal members and that are important in maintaining connections between contemporary Tribal communities and their cultural heritage.

ions as excerpts in the National Register forms. For example, what does Old Man House Park mean to you as a Suquamish person? Do you feel a connection with the history of the Suquamish People when you are on the beach at the park? Do you have stories from elders that express the importance and history of the place? Can you feel the spirits of Seattle, Kitsap, and other Suquamish leaders who lived in Old Man House when you visit the park?

We have some idea regarding the intangible elements of Old Man House Park that make it significant as a traditional cultural property. Tribal members acknowledge the sense of place and spiritual connection to the past when they are on the beach at dxʷsəq̓ʷəb, or “place of the clear salt water.” However, we do not have extensive oral interviews to quantify the many ways tribal members attribute significance to the area.

Chairman’s Report

by Leonard Forsman

The Suquamish Tribe has an active emergency preparedness program and through our Emergency Coordinator Cherrie May. We met with a consultant hired under a grant to kick off an emergency planning process to prepare us for future natural and other disasters. The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board hosted an Emergency Preparedness Conference at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort in an effort to prepare Tribes for health emergencies and other threats to the health and welfare of our tribal communities. I joined tribal elder Dolores Mills in welcoming the Tribes and agencies to our homeland.

We are also in the process of developing a capital projects list for approval by Tribal Council. Suquamish Shores plan implementation, affordable tribal housing and improvements at our new Chief Kitsap Academy campus are three of the items on the list.

Governor Inslee made opening remarks at the conference after a welcome by Yakama Chairman Jode Goudy. We then recessed to dedicate the new Yakama Veterans Building in an impressive ceremony. The Tribal leaders then went into a meeting co-chaired by Governor Inslee and me on the latest information about the implementation of streamflow protections in Washington watersheds. The rest of the week was busy with committee meetings and breakout sessions followed by a wonderful Gala Dinner hosted by the Yakama Nation and KeyBank.

We have a strong relationship with the University of Washington, of which I graduated in 1987. The University of Washington Tribal Summit was hosted by President Marie Cauce at the Intellectual House on the UW Seattle Campus. Concerns brought by staff and students included need for tribal elders and leaders to serve as student mentors, the lack of affordable housing and the need for food programs to help needy tribal students.

The University of Washington Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity held their 50th Anniversary Gala. The guest of honor was Federal District Judge Ricardo Martinez who told his inspiring life story from his early childhood in Texas to getting his law degree from the UW. The evening also included recognition of minority students awarded scholarships for their fine scholarship and a fundraising auction to fund more scholarships.

The Burke Museum hosted the first joint meeting between their Native American Advisory Board and the Burke Museum Advisory Board to discuss plans for the new museum and opportunities for collaboration in the future.

The Suquamish Museum Board held a meeting and retreat with Museum staff to discuss the future of our facility and our most pressing needs. The need for more staff was made clear, as well as a need for more training. The Suquamish Youth Department put on another impressive Renewal Powwow at the House of Awakened Culture.

Suquamish Girls Shine in League Play Team goes undefeated, powers through obstacles

by Magdalena Turrieta

The Suquamish Sports and Recreation Dept. has a 3-4 grades girls basketball team competing in the Spring League at Poulsbo Parks and Rec. The girls play their games in various North Kitsap and Port Orchard gyms.

These young ladies have been doing very well! They are a small team, with only six players on the roster. Sometimes the girls play with just five members, due to the fact that one of the players is also active in fast pitch.

These young ladies have been undefeated in their season so far, and have also had the opportunity to play up against a 5-6 grades girls team. They always have a smile on their faces and never give up, even when they are exhausted mid-game with no substitutes on the bench. They play through all obstacles thrown at them.

Real Native Fitness Camp

They are awesome! We are very proud of them, their dedication to the team and each other.

Clearwater Legends Tournament at White Horse

Start clearing your calendar for the second week in June — the legends of the LPGA are coming to White Horse Golf Club.

The inaugural Suquamish Clearwater Legends Cup will take place from June 6-10 at the golf course and will welcome the likes of Jane Blalock, JoAnne Carner, Jan Stephenson, Pat Bradley, Betsy King, Rosie Jones and Liselotte Neumann, some of the LPGA’s most successful golfers.

The Legends Cup is a stop on the Legends Tour, a professional golf tour for women ages 45 and older. There are nine Hall of Famers in the field of 30 golfers. Combined, they have more than 30 LPGA major championships and hundreds of tour wins. They will tee-up in a 36-hole strokeplay competition for two days at White Horse Golf Course.

It also marks a return to the Pacific Northwest for women’s professional golf. The LPGA Tour participated in the SafeCo Classic in the Seattle area from 1982 to 1999. The Legends Cup field features five past winners of that event, including Carner and Patty Sheehan.

“This is quite the opportunity for the Suquamish Tribe and Kitsap County,” Irene Carper, Chief Operating Officer of Port Madison Enterprises, the business arm of the Suquamish Tribe, said at a recent news conference in Seattle formally announcing the event.

But there will be far more going on at White Horse than just the tournament. On June 6, there will be a Scramble Women’s Amateur Tournament. The two-woman team with the lowest score will get to play alongside one of the legends in the June 8 Legends Cup Pro-Am. June 7 will be dedicated to practice and VIP rounds.

All events will be open to the public for spectating. For more information, visit clearwaterlegendscup.com
