Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To protect our Treaty areas and to educate the tribal members and youth on current environmental issues. To develop leaders in the environmental area for the next generation. To promote activism within our tribes and to empower tribal members on effecting change.

  • In FY 2022 the Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment Organization continued our regular get togethers with the Lapwai Elementary School After School program and continued our program with the youth at our site where we have had some improvements. Over the 2022 we did 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 2022 we had a Source to Sea event with three women who kayaked from the mouth of the Salmon River to the Snake/Columbia to the ocean. We also held another event with the Lummi Tribe House of Tears totem carvers at Hells Gate State Park on Lower Granite Dam reservoir. 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. During the year we did online campaigns that included dam breaching and salmon recovery, Oil and Coal Train issues, water quality, forest protection and pushing for moving away from fossil fuels. We continued our advocacy with other 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, Earthjustice, WWF and others who were working on the same issues, co-opting different groups into our campaigns has proved immensely successful. 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.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
