Nez Perce Efforts to Protect Wolves and Grizzlies
Julian will talk about Nimiipuu’s involvement in wolf treaty issues and the wolf & grizzly summit he hosted earlier this Spring on Nez Perce’s land.
Julian Matthews, an enrolled Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) tribal member and the coordinator for the group Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment, a Tribal member-run 501(c)3, has been involved in a number of issues impacting the Treaty of 1855 with the Nez Perces. A major focus has been the Snake River Dam breaching and the Wolf issues within the Treaty area, particularly Idaho.
