Implement Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish- Wit Watershed Assessment and Restoration Plan Now A Regional Support Program Sponsored by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Project ID #

Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit A comprehensive plan to restore anadromous fishes to the rivers and streams that support the historical cultural and economic practices of the Tribes. The plan was written and ratified by the four Columbia River Tribes who form the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC): the Nez Perce Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and the Yakama Nation.

Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit A basin wide plan for restoration of salmon as a tribal treaty resource and as an important component of ecological health of the region. The plan provides a framework for restoring anadromous fish stocks, specifically salmon, Pacific lamprey, and white sturgeon in upriver areas above Bonneville Dam.

The CRITFC Watershed Departments implementation of Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit is designed to provide effective and efficient watershed restoration through: Coordinating and conducting watershed assessment Coordinating habitat restoration/protection projects with current or proposed salmonid production and subbasin habitat objectives Streamlining on-the-ground habitat project implementation Organizing and coordinating the biological and physical evaluation and monitoring of watershed projects Organizing and coordinating water quality monitoring and evaluation of water quality effects on anadromous fish species Promoting public awareness and education of watershed restoration and protection projects in subbasins of the Columbia River.

As co-managers of the fish and wildlife resources, the Tribes role in basin wide planning and implementation will continue to be active and represented in NWPPC proceedings. CRITFC will continue in its unique roll of facilitating tribal involvement in restoration efforts consistent with basin wide goals for fish and wildlife recovery.

Objectives and Methods

Provide comprehensive coordination and tracking of tribally sponsored watershed protection & restoration projects to ensure timely on-the-ground project implementation and cost sharing within each subbasin. Provide assistance to the four tribes' fisheries programs in packaging and managing comprehensive watershed proposals and projects. Provide coordination to insure projects are integrated within the subbasin and consistent with regional plans. Maintain a project tracking system for tribal/subbasin projects. Promote cost sharing of subbasin watershed projects. Objective 1
