The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe is hosting the fourth Tribal Green Summit, March 8 to 10 at the Snoqualmie Casino Ballroom. Anyone involved with resource management, community planning, housing, landscapes and on-the-ground projects or who wants to gain and share a greater understanding for sustainable built-environments is invited.

The event consists of two days of expert presentations and a half-day field trip to nearby restoration projects along the Snoqualmie River, ending at the Snoqualmie Falls. Session themes will include green building, alternative energy, composting, recycling, source reduction, native plant landscapes, low-impact development, habitat restoration, project funding and building sustainable communities.

Ilarion (Larry) Merculieff (Aleut) is the keynote speaker. Merculieff brings spiritual perspective of traditional elder wisdom and over 30 years of experience achieving legal, cultural, environmental and economic victories for Aleuts and other indigenous peoples.
