Washington House committee passes tribal wolf bill
From Capital Press:
OLYMPIA — A House committee unanimously endorsed a bill intended to increase the Colville tribe’s influence over how wolves are managed on 1.5 million acres north of the tribe’s reservation in northeast Washington.
Northern Ferry County and parts of northern Okanogan and Stevens counties fall within the region. It was the northern half of the Colville reservation until ceded to the U.S. government in 1892.
