Ancestral Waters (2019) a Water Protector Documentary

........ substantive work to be done right now

77:41

the federal government has a trust

77:44

responsibility under that treaty that

77:47

the P op tribe of Indians signed with

77:49

the government when everything was taken

77:51

it was a trade and in trade for that we

77:55

were to get certain things so the

77:57

government has a trust responsibility to

78:00

the pl tribe of Indians the government

78:02

then delegates its authority for permits

78:05

environmental impact statements all of

78:09

the authorities for those things to the

78:11

states or regional organizations or city

78:14

organizations and that responsibility

78:17

that goes along that trust

78:19

responsibility goes with that delegation

78:23

the trust responsibility goes with the

78:28

delegation of those authorities you have

78:31

an opportunity

78:31

now to recognize us on an issue that we

78:34

hold dear and we take very seriously and

78:37

you have that opportunity now to consult

78:40

with us on a request for a supplemental

78:41

environmental impact statement I don't

78:44

ever want my kindness to be mistaken for

78:46

weakness

78:47

I come from resilient people and I have

78:50

to fight for those people the people

78:52

that fought for me before I was born and

78:54

the people that I fight for that aren't

78:56

born yet

78:57

we simply cannot take the good in this

79:00

relationship and refuse to discuss the

79:02

bad we can't ignore each other we take

79:05

this very seriously and I want you to

79:07

hear our request I humbly invite you to

79:10

discuss the Puget Sound liquefied

79:12

natural gas project with our Council and

79:14

as was stated by a port Commissioner

79:16

that we both know and respect a

79:18

relationship in this relationship we

79:21

don't want to remember be remembered for

79:23

how it started but how we finish it

79:25

thank you
