Yours truly is quoted by @Law360 in Wash., Ore., 29 Tribes Sue Feds For 'Illegally' Selling Archives https://www.law360.com/media/articles/1341530
1/ "'Pacific Northwest indigenous peoples would no longer have access to records that affirm their oral histories and validate their historical existence,' Gabriel S Galanda of Galanda Broadman PLLC told Law360 in a phone interview Tuesday."
2/ "He [along with @TheBroadman @rjosephsexton and Ryan Dreveskracht] represents the Cow Creek Band Of Umpqua Tribe Of Indians in Oregon and the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe in Washington, two of the 29 tribes spanning various states in the suit."
3/ "'Non-tribal governments time and again ask indigenous peoples to prove their historical existence, and one of the ways [those peoples]have proven their historical existence time and again is to conduct research at the National Archives in Seattle, Washington,' Galanda added."
