		“Nisqually River chinook are making a comeback because of sacrifices by tribal fisherman and a dedication by the Nisqually Tribe and it’s neighbors to protect and restore salmon habitat,” said David Troutt, natural resources director for the Nisqually Tribe.
		Nisqually River chinook are part of a larger Puget Sound population of chinook that were listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act in 1999.
		Ensuring chinook salmon reach the spawning grounds is an important part of an effort by the tribe and state co-managers to develop a stock specifically adapted to the Nisqually River from the descendents of hatchery fish.

		And as the Nisqually Delta continues to evolve during the next several years, people might also be able to bird-watch or fish on portions of the tribal land.

		In the late 1970s, the Nisqually Indian Tribe, which operates a fishery along the Nisqually River, filed a complaint claiming that the Yelm Project was harming the fishery.
		Specifically, the Tribe noted that [t]hese alternative measures address the single greatest threat to the salmon resources along the Nisqually River and tributaries, the threat of increasing development pressure due to urbanization along the basin's shorelines.
		And Centralia and the Tribe convincingly argue that the more than $500,000 that Centralia will contribute to pay for alternative fishery enhancement measures is a far superior way to protect the fish and river environment than a $300,000 expenditure for what will likely be an inconclusive study on the feasibility of a tailrace barrier.

	81 Wn. App. 685, STATE v. SQUALLY
		The Nisqually Indian Reservation has been enlarged twice since the tribe consented to jurisdiction in 1957: approximately 30 acres were added to the reservation in 1979, and approximately six acres were added in 1982.
		As the Nisqually Tribe points out in its amicus curiae brief, if the tribe had intended to include after-acquired property in its 1957 petition for the State to assume jurisdiction, it could have so stated.
		In sum, a fair reading of the Nisqually Resolution, in light of the rule that ambiguities should be interpreted to assure tribal sovereignty, leads to the conclusion that the Tribe asked the State to assume jurisdiction over the Nisqually Reservation only as defined in the legal description contained in the Resolution.
