A tribe’s 170-year fight to survive continues as they stand up against a fracked gas facility on tribal waters, in the midst of unprecedented climate change.
The Puyallup Tribe signed the Medicine Creek Treaty in 1854 and like every other tribe in North America, they have had to continually fight for the inherent ways of life that are supposed to be guaranteed and protected by their treaty.
