+ Nisqually Indian Tribe: The Nisqually Tribal Council and Yelm City Council met in a government to government meeting [Feb. 17] that was live-streamed from the tribe’s Nisqually Medical Center in a first-attempt at doing so. It will be the first of many meetings with the city of Yelm and the two councils discussed many projects that would be mutually beneficial from contracts for Nisqually business, education, tourism, water security and youth centers.”Nisqually isn’t going anywhere and Yelm isn’t either – we need to work together,” said Nisqually Chairman Willie Frank III. [Ed. note: Bravo to Mayor DePinto for enacting Yelm’s long-overdue commitment in working with the Tribe on issues of mutual interest.]
