Subject: Requested letter of support for Jamestown's proposed transfer Dungeness & Protection Island Refuges Legislation
Commissioners,
Our Tribe is working with our Congresswoman Emily Randall and Senator Maria Cantwell introduce legislation that Transfers the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Dungeness and Protection Island
Refuges to Jamestown trust/reservation. I’m attaching a draft suggest support letter as well as a draft copy of the proposed legislation, map and white paper that outlines our proposal.

I’m cc’ing Hansi Hals (our Tribal Natural Resource Director), Julie Combs (our attorney who help draft the legislation). And Jennifer is our Tribe’s Governmental Affairs Associate.
