Abstract
Request sent to W. A. Galbraith, director of the Department of Conservation and Development, to help the Wanapums get back their fishery rights. Relander gives information about the fishery, on the Yakima River, and the recently enforced non-fishing at the site, enforced by the State Division of Fisheries. Relander is wishing action will be taken, so their spring season is not delayed, or they be compensated for the loss of their fishery. Their people are getting ill with tuberculosis, because the loss of the salmon "cannot be compensated for by the human system abruptly."
