Michelle:
Attached is the WDFW’s map of tribal ceded lands. This reflects WDFW’s position. However, tribes dispute it’s
accuracy. Nevertheless, it might be the best we have.
Also attached is the 1982 Settlement Agreement I mentioned. The agreement is between the Skokomish, PGST,
Lower Elwha Klallam and Jamestown S’Klallam tribes. The settlement agreement concerns only the Hood Canal
Fishery. I understand that his settlement resulted in the creation of the Point No Point Treaty Council that initially
included all of these Tribes. Subsequently, the Skokomish and others left the PNPTC. Currently, the PNPTC
includes only the PGST and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribes. http://www.pnptc.org/.
Based on the WDFW map and the settlement agreement, I do not believe the Hoh, Quinault, or the Squaxin Tribes
have U&A at Blackpoint.

--------------------------------)
The Skokomish Indian Tribe, Port Gamble Band of Klallam
Indians, Lower Elwha Band of Klallam Indians and Jamestown Band
of Klallam Indians [hereinafter referred to as "the Stipulating
Parties"] agree as follows:
I.
PURPOSE OF SETTLEMENT
1. The purpose of this Hood Canal Agreement is to achieve a
mutually acceptable settlement among the Stipulating Parties of
the following litigation:
A. Request for Determination Re: Primary Right of
Skokomish Indian Tribe in Hood Canal Fishery, filed June 17, 1981
(hereinafter "Skokomish Primary Right case").

B. Request for Determination: Port Gamble Klallam

C. Request for Determination: Lower Elwha Klallam
Usual and Accustomed Fishing Areas, filed ~ugust 11, 1978
(hereinafter "Lower Elwha Klallam U and A case").
2. It is the intent of the Stipulating Parties to confirm
and preserve the pre-treaty historical relationship between the
Clallam and Skokomish (or Twana) peoples concerning fishing
rights in the Hood Canal fishery. Because of their close inter-
tribal relationship and the fact that historically the Skokomish
Tribe and the Klallam Bands have been able to share the Hood
Canal fishery resources on a mutually acceptable basis, the
Skokomish Tribe and the Klallam Bands have determined that the
best course for them is to settle any differences between them
regarding fishing in Hood Canal by this Agreement rather than by
further litigation.
II.
BASIS FOR SETTLEMENT

21 mination of its primary right in the Hood Canal fishery on

June 17, 1981. In that proceeding the Skokomish Tribe seeks a
determination that its "treaty fishing rights in Hood Canal and
all the rivers and streams draining into the Canal are primary to

1 the rights of any other tribe which has or claims to have usual
2 and accustomed fishing places there." Skokomish Tribe's Request
3 :for Determination Re: primary Right of Skokomish Indian Tribe in
4 ~ood Canal Fishery. The Skokomish Tribe also asserts in this
5 proceeding that its primary right "includes the right to regulate
6 or prohibit fishing by other tribes in Hood Canal and all rivers
and streams draining into it." Id. The Port Gamble Klallam 7

request.
4. The Skokomish Tribe's primary right request was ini-
tiated to protect the Tribe's vital interests in the Hood Canal
fishery. Since time immemorial, members of the Skokomish Tribe
and its aboriginal predecessors have relied for their livelihood
on the Hood Canal fishery. Today the Skokomish Tribe continues
to be entirely dependent on the Hood Canal fishery for its catch
because it has no established usual and accustomed fishing places
outside Hood Canal and the rivers and streams draining into it.
Historically, substantial numbers of Clallam Indians have also
fished in Hood Canal and in rivers and streams draining into it.
Today the Klallam Bands, and particularly the Port Gamble Band of
Klallam Indians, continue to have a strong interest in access to
and protection of the Hood Canal fishery.
5. The Stipulating Parties agree to the entry of the
25 following findings of fact to support this agreement:

F-
A. on and before January 6, 1855, the date the Treaty
of Point-No-Point was executed by its signatories, the
Skokomish Tribe, through its aboriginal predecessors the
Twana Indians, exercised legitimate territorial control over
the Hood Canal fishery, including Hood Canal and all rivers
and streams draining into it. This territorial control was
the product of: (1) the proximity of Hood Canal and its
drainage basin to the winter villages and summer camping and
fishing grounds of the Twana people; (2) the high frequency
of use of the Hood Canal and the rivers and streams draining
into it by the Twana Indians; (3) a contemporary conception
among the Coast Salish Indians (of whom the Stipulating
Parties are constituent groups) that Hood Canal and the
rivers and streams draining into it were legitimately in the
possession of the Twana people and subject to use by others
only upon invitation and permission given by the Twana; (4)
behavior of the Stipulating Parties consistent with a mutual
recognition that the Twanas controlled the Hood Canal
fishery, including Hood Canal and all rivers and streams
draining into it.
B. The Clallam Indians, the aboriginal predecessors of
the Stipulating Klallam Bands, and the Twana Indians enjoyed
a strong and cordial relationship at and before treaty time.
This relationship was unique in degree to the two peoples and

was founded in a common culture, mutual respect and admira-
tion, and resulting marriage and ritual ties. The Clallam
villages were situated at the mouths of rivers draining into
the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Each year significant numbers of
Clallam Indians would travel from their villages to sites on
Hood Canal to fish with the Twana. Most, if not all, of
these Clallam visitors were marriage relatives of Twana
Indians. The Clallam who fished on Hood Canal did so with
the understanding that the Hood Canal fishery was Twana
territory. There is no evidence that the Twana people ever
attempted to, or did, exclude Clallam fishermen from the Hood
Canal fishery, or that any need to do so ever arose. Because
of their shared culture and the perceived importance of
favorable relations between the Clallam and Twana peoples, it
is likely 'that the Twana people welcomed and affirmatively
encouraged Clallam friends and marriage relatives to corne to
the Hood Canal area for fishing, as well as for socializing
18 and ritual activities. The Clallam reciprocated by inviting
19 Twana people to their villages as guests and relatives.

TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this
Agreement, the Stipulating Parties hereby agree as follows:
7. A. The Skokomish Tribe has the primary right to fish
in the Hood Canal fishery. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Hood Canal fishery" includes all waters of the Hood Canal south
of a line drawn between Foulweather Bluff and 01ele point, and
all rivers and streams draining into Hood Canal. The primary
right of the Skokomish Tribe is an aboriginal right of that tribe
confirmed and preserved by the Treaty of Point-No-Point (12 Stat.

(9th Cir.), cert. denied, U.S. ,102 S. Ct. 320 (1981).) -.'
B. Because of the close relationship that exists and
E-has existed between the Skokomish Tribe and the Klallam Bands and
because they have traditionally fished together in Hood Canal
sharing the fishery resources in a mutually acceptable manner,
the Stipulating Parties further agree that north of Ayock Point
on Hood Canal the Skokomish Tribe and the Klallam Bands may exer-
cise their respective treaty fishing rights without any limita-
tion or control whatsoever by any of the Stipulating Parties,
except as the Stipulating Parties may mutually agree by compact
or otherwise. The Skokomish Tribe specifically agrees that it
will not, under any condition or for any reason whatsoever, exer-
cise or seek to exercise its primary right on Hood Canal north of
Ayock Point, or on the streams and rivers draining into Hood
Canal north of Ayock Point, against any of the other Stipulating
Parties without its or their express consent.
8. The parties agree that the usual and accustomed fishing

read as follows:

grounds of the Lower Elwha Band of Klallam
Indians include, in addition to those deter-
mined in the Order of April 18, 1975, 459

Accordingly, I make no recommendation concerning the contents of
