In 2025 the Coordinator continued to do a number of online presentations on Lower Snake River dam breaching to protect Salmon, protection of wolves and grizzly bears and other endangered species in our Treaty area. During the spring and summer of 2025 we held on the water events and activities at Payette Lake at McCall, Idaho and the Hells Gate State Park for the purpose of continuing to push for the protection of water and aquatic life. 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 also have hired 10 youth who were in the program previously to assist in the paddle carving, arts/crafts and food preparation 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, Johm Muir Project 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. 324714 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 11 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 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. 25.00 0.00 X X 68259 0 0 DOROTHY SHERWOOD President 7.00 0.00 X X 2200 0 0 KASSANDRA TOWNSEND Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY WITNOK-HUBER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNY SPANG GION Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA CARSCALLEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 70459 0 false false false 0 346781 346781 0 31267 31267 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 378048 31267 0 1663 1663 0 0 68259 68259 0 67307 67307 0 0 21032 21032 0 0 2900 2900 0 0 0 0 32155 32155 3642 3642 1787 1787 0 10213 10213 38615 38615 0 246 246 0 0 862 862 7933 7933 OUTSIDE SERVICES 42734 42734 SUPPLIES 15619 15619 MEALS 10409 10409 GIFTS 7900 7900 8193 8193 341469 324714 16755 0 1131371 1168812 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15757 7651 8968 8106 0 0 0 0 0 1140339 1176918 0 0 X 1140339 1176918 1140339 1176918 1140339 1176918 36579 X false false false X 347447 508811 356732 497085 346781 2056856 0 0 0 0 347447 508811 356732 497085 346781 2056856 0 0 2056856 475 1578 22045 28136 31267 83501 0 475 1578 22045 28136 31267 83501 0 0 347922 510389 378777 525221 378048 2140357 0.96100 0.97480 0.03900 0.02520 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8600 1648 6952 7157 6003 1154 8106 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
