Oil spill called devastating for Suquamish Tribe

URL: http://www.indianz.com/News/archives/003271.asp Oil spill called devastating for Suquamish Tribe Friday, January 16, 2004 Washington state lawmakers held a hearing on Thursday to address an oil spill that damaged prized beachfront on the Suquamish Reservation. A spokesperson for the tribe said the 4,800-gallon oil fuel spill has been a "traumatic event" for tribal members. A tribal fishery and an area used for clam digging were destroyed on December 30. State Rep. Mike Cooper (D) said he would submit a bill requiring the use of oil-spill booms, which outside experts say could have prevented some of the damage. The tribe said it welcomed stricter rules.
