WASHINGTON, DC – The tragic mudslide that devastated the community of Oso in Washington state is still affecting families across the Northwest. “We have been praying for the families of Oso every day since this tragedy struck. There is no making sense of events like this. All we can do is join hands and rebuild together,” said Brian Cladoosby, NCAI President and Chairman of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community.
Indian Country has rallied and Washington tribes have sent over half a million dollars to support relief efforts on top of the many tribal members who have assisted in the rescue operation. We will continue to do what we can to help the families in need and call on others to do the same. Please consider contributing to one or more of these organizations who are supporting the victims and their families:
