In 2024 the executive director 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 2024 we held on the water events and activities at the Hells Gate State Park for the purpose of continuing to push for the dam breaching on Lower Snake River and at Selway Falls in May to protect the water and other topics related to our Treaty areas. 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 our tribe and other tribal groups in the Pacific Northwest on common environmental issues. 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, the Nature Conservancy, Friends of the Clearwater, Earthjustice and others who were working on the same issues, co-opting different groups into our campaigns has proved immensely successful. We 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. We also began working with staff from Washington State University and student groups for our Youth Garden and our proposed Fruit tree orchard. 292681 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 13 0 false 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 3 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. 25.00 0.00 X X 67997 0 0 DOROTHY SHERWOOD President 5.00 0.00 X X 2620 0 0 BECKY WITINOK-HUBER Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNY SPANG GION Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA CARSCALLEN Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 70617 0 false false false 0 497085 497085 0 28136 28136 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 525221 28136 0 4689 4689 0 0 67997 67997 0 56677 56677 0 0 12087 12087 0 0 2700 2700 0 0 0 1000 1000 31072 31072 2567 2567 1801 1801 0 5161 5161 21236 21236 0 630 630 0 0 1345 1345 7998 7998 OUTSIDE SERVICES 49713 49713 SUPPLIES 23102 23102 GIFTS 3684 3684 MEALS 2697 2697 7953 7953 304109 292681 11428 0 908914 1131371 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15757 6789 10313 8968 0 0 0 0 0 919227 1140339 0 0 X 919227 1140339 919227 1140339 919227 1140339 221112 X false false false X 318161 347447 508811 356732 497085 2028236 0 0 0 0 318161 347447 508811 356732 497085 2028236 0 0 2028236 185 475 1578 22045 28136 52419 0 185 475 1578 22045 28136 52419 0 0 318346 347922 510389 378777 525221 2080655 0.97480 0.98530 0.02520 0.01470 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8600 1218 7382 7157 5571 1586 8968 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
