Habitat Watershed Division
VISION
The Watershed Division is focused
on protecting, restoring, and enhancing watersheds and all treaty resources
throughout Nez Perce Territory, as described under the Treaty of 1855.
These activities are accomplished using a holistic approach, which
encompasses entire watersheds, ridge-top to ridge-top, emphasizing all cultural
aspects.
GOALS
Protect and restore watersheds and fisheries habitat to the
rivers and streams that support the historical, cultural, and economic practices
of the Tribe. Emphasize strategies
that rely on natural fish production and healthy river ecosystems to achieve
this goal. Protect tribal
sovereignty and treaty rights guaranteed under the Treaty of 1855.
Reclaim the anadromous fish resource and the environment on which it
depends for future generations.
