	Potlatch Economics: A Lummi Perspective
		Indeed, the Lummi Nation demonstrated its economic versatility by trading with nations in Asia, across North America and among the nations of the Pacific.
		Lummi people moved from a productive self-sustaining economy which had served for hundreds of generations, to an unproductive dependency on an alien economic system which took more from the Lummi than it returned.
		In other words, the Lummi economy was in about the same condition of disarray in the late 1940s and early 1950s as the European economies of the Third World.

	Honoring Nations 2002 >> Safe, Clean Waters
		The Lummi Indian Nation established the Lummi Tribal Sewer and Water District in 1983 to ensure the Nation’s role in the provision of safe drinking water and discharge of clean wastewater across its reservation, located 100 miles north of Seattle.
		For the Lummi Indian Nation, access to clean, safe water is important not only for community health and welfare, but also for cultural and economic reasons—historically, salmon fishing and shellfish harvesting have been a way of life and livelihood for Lummi citizens.
		And while the District is under the plenary authority of the governing body of the Lummi Nation, implementation of its mandate is eased by the fact that the District’s five-member board enjoys relative autonomy from the tribal government—tribal government officials have not made it a practice to interfere with the District’s management and day-to-day operations.
