| | Snoqualmie Falls, Sacred Site |
 | | For the Snoqualmie People, who have lived for centuries in the Snoqualmie Valley, in western Washington, Snoqualmie Falls is central to their culture, beliefs, and spirituality. |
 | | The Snoqualmie People had no say when this supposed miracle of modern engineering was first built at the end of the last century; they have no say now concerning a federal agency's proposal to allow continued operation of the power plant. |
 | | The SFPP, a coalition of the Snoqualmie Tribe, Church Council of Greater Seattle, and Washington Association of Churches, has proposed decommissioning of the power project and in its place a Spirit of the Falls Sanctuary Park to be co-managed by the Tribe and another entity, either public or private. |
