“I am pleased the National Park Service has awarded these grants to several Washington state tribes, including two in the First Congressional District, the Lummi and Nooksack,” DelBene said. “It is crucial to continue supporting the historic preservation of tribal places and cultures, and these grants are a great step towards achieving that goal.”
