In 2023 I continued to do a number of online presentations on Rights of Rivers and Nature, Rights of Mother Earth, the issue of Dam Breaching on the Lower Snake River, and other topics that we continue to be involved with. During the summer of 2023 we held two events and activities at the Hells Gate State Park for the purpose of continuing to push for the dam breaching on Lower Snake River. With our weekly youth activities with the Lapwai Elementary School After School program that included 30 to 40 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders we met and worked on traditional arts and crafts, beadwork, feather work and other Nimiipuu traditional activities. We continued our advocacy with other Tribes and Tribal Groups and were fairly successful on working with staff from the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians on getting resolutions introduced. We had monthly zoom meetings with groups throughout the Northwest, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to ensure we kept our message out in the public through these meetings and social media. These included Sierra Club, Save Our Wild Salmon, WWF, and others who were working on the same issues, co-opting different groups into our campaigns has proved immensely successful. few continued to meet with the Nez Perce Tribal Circle of Elders at their monthly meetings to ensure we have their input on our activities. We have gained good support within our community by tabling at a number of tribal and community events.The main goals we have now are to Breach the Lower Snake River Dams, push for protections for Wolves and Grizzly bears in the Pacific Northwest and to continue advocating or the protections of the land, water, forests and species in our Treaty of 1855 and usual and accustomed areas. We will continue our youth and adult work in the upcoming year. 258403 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 7 false 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true false false false X JULIAN MATTHEWS 5093300023 PO BOX 452 LAPWAI ID 83540 JULIAN MATTHEWS Executive Dir. 30.00 0.00 X X 67997 0 0 DOROTHY SHERWOOD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY WITINOK-HUBER Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 KASSANDRA TOWNSEND Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA CARSCALLEN Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 67997 0 false false false 0 356732 356732 0 22045 22045 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 378777 22045 0 4601 4601 0 0 67997 67997 0 40436 40436 0 0 10975 10975 0 0 3650 3650 0 0 0 0 32329 32329 5155 5155 711 711 0 6580 6580 19866 19866 0 400 400 0 0 1688 1688 6412 6412 OUTSIDE SERVICES 26372 26372 SUPPLIES 14341 14341 GIFTS 9318 9318 MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT 4988 4988 7739 7739 263558 258403 5155 0 792007 908914 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15757 5444 12001 10313 0 0 0 0 0 804008 919227 0 0 X 804008 919227 804008 919227 804008 919227 115219 X false false false X 100609 318161 347447 508811 356732 1631760 0 0 0 0 100609 318161 347447 508811 356732 1631760 0 0 1631760 97 185 475 1578 22045 24380 0 97 185 475 1578 22045 24380 0 0 100706 318346 347922 510389 378777 1656140 0.98530 0.99820 0.01470 0.00180 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8600 788 7812 7157 4656 2501 10313 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
