PROJECT 562 — REBIRTH OF NATIONS

<p><strong>SMITH RIVER, CA &mdash; FALL 2012</strong>&nbsp;&mdash; On the edge of this native nation of 120 people, along the foggy, windswept Oregon border, the Tribal Council assembles. Today&rsquo;s guest is from the Tulalip nation. She wants permission to take photos.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*78dlHDx_xSrZm9ZC.jpeg" style="height:692px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Matika Wilbur has no slides, no outline. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t even have an elevator pitch.&rdquo; But she has gifts &mdash; homemade peach jam and freshly smoked salmon. The gifts work their ancient magic.</p> <p><a href="https://brucewatson4.medium.com/project-562-rebirth-of-nations-985a7542ca6f"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
