Mission Statement
"To protect, restore, and enhance the first foods- water, salmon, deer, cous, and huckleberry- for the perpetual cultural, economic, and sovereign benefit of the CTUIR. We will accomplish this utilizing traditional ecological and cultural knowledge and science to inform: 1) population and habitat management goals and actions; and 2) natural resource policies and regulatory mechanisms"

*Big Thanks to: Wildlife Research Biologist Project Leader- Bruce Johnson! For helping transport some of us (Ari, Brandi, Morelia, and Myself) to the area Wenix was originally going to bring us, until we got 5 flat/blown out tires. We learned a lot from you! Thanks for letting us pick a part your brain by asking you a lot of questions in the short amount of time we had with you! You provided us with lots of useful information, and transportation! ^-^
After all the craziness of 5! I repeat: 5! flat/blown out tires, we got to walk along Meacham Creek, which is extremely beautiful. It was a good walk!, and a very nice view! Thank You Wenix for taking all of us out to the site to let us see and hear from you about whats currently going on!
