The Chair of the Muckleshoot Preservation Committee, Tribal Council member Mike Jerry, sent the attached letter to the Port (as directed, to George Blomberg, who was identied by the Port as the appropriate liaison for this project) on December 13, 2011. This letter, expressed the Tribe's interest in the Collection and in meeting with the Port and, if possible, the Suquamish Museum Director, to discuss the proposed transfer. No 26'". response from the Port was forthcoming, until the announcement of March Obviously, there was a failure to pursue and complete consultation with the Tribes on this matter. Although you may hold a public hearing soon, please defer and delay any decision until you meet with the concerned Tribes, including the Muckleshoot Preservation Program, to reach a decision that takes our concerns into account. If necessary the Collection curation could be continued in place under a temporary arrangement. We would be happy to meet with representatives from the Port and Suquamish, if they want to be involved, at your convenience. Regular Preservation Committee meeting are held on the rst Tuesday of each month. Please call Donna Hogerhuis, Muckleshoot Tribe Collections Specialist to schedule a meeting.
