against Cowlitz land grab

For more news and background information, see our Web site.

In a letter to The Reflector, the Chairman of the Chinook Indian Nation writes that the Chinook Nation does not support the Cowlitz Tribe's effort to establish an initial reservation outside its aboriginal territory and is "firmly against the re-writing of history to support such a move."

Read Chairman Ray Gardner's letter: "Chinookan people, not Cowlitz, were indigenous to area."
