Subject: Re: Tribal Consultation Letter- Part 58 NEPA Review
The Snoqualmie Tribe [Tribe] is a federally recognized sovereign Indian Tribe. We were signatory to the Treaty
of Point Elliott of 1855; we reserved certain rights and privileges and ceded certain lands to the United States.
As a signatory to the Treaty of Point Elliot, the Tribe specifically reserved among other things, the right to fish
at usual and accustomed areas and the “privilege of hunting and gathering roots and berries on open and
unclaimed lands” off-reservation throughout the modern-day state of Washington.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment. Based on the information provided and our
understanding of the project and its APE we have no substantive comments to offer at this time. However,
please be aware that if the scope of the project or the parameters for defining the APE change, we reserve the
right to modify our current position.
