Patrick TownsendAmazing day at Billy Frank Jr Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. Near Olympia, Washington. Hanging out with a bunch of Plein Air painters, Kachel Geese, coots, deer and coyote.
Quoting the late Billy Frank Jr:
“People forget that non-Indians in Western Washington have treaty rights, too. Treaties opened the door to statehood. Without them, non-Indians would have no legal right to buy property, build homes or even operate businesses on the millions of acres tribes ceded to the federal government.
“Treaty rights should never be taken for granted — by anyone.”
