π History π
November - Awareness and History
November is Native American History Month
The first recorded account of the Quinault Indians was in 1775, when the Spaniard Bruno de Hezeta anchored off of Point Grenville, a few miles south of the Quinault River. The lucrative fur trade with China spurred an increase of trade in the region. Unfortunately the traders brought infectious disease: malaria, smallpox, measles, whooping cough, and chicken pox. The first known incidence of measles in the area occurred in 1779. In the 1850s a series of smallpox and influenza epidemics decimated the coastal Indian population. Too weak to resist the advance of white settlers and anxious to preserve their control of the Quinault River, the Quinault along with the Queets, Quileutes, and Hohs signed the Quinault River Treaty in 1855, which established the Quinault Indian Reservation.
The 1850s saw the arrival of the first white settlers in the region and the beginning of the lumber industry, which would come to dominate the local economy. The successful marketing of lumber milled from timber that homesteaders cleared from their land quickly changed how settlers saw the forest: from a green desert to green gold. Lumber companies sprung up and soon turned Grays Harbor into the most productive logging area in the world.
Logging operations soon encroached on reservation land, where many of the best stands of timber lay. The General Allotment (or Dawes) Act of 1887 had opened the way for private ownership of reservation land, although forestland was initially excluded. Within 45 years the Quinault lost control of 32 percent of their land. Following a 1924 provision of the Dawes Act, lumber companies obtained the right to log on reservation land. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) brokered land-use deals with lumber companies without consulting tribal officials. They also underestimated yields and charged below-market stumpage rates, both of which favored the logging companies. In 1936 the Quinault Tribal Council unsuccessfully challenged clear-cutting logging practices, which made remaining stands vulnerable to wind and fire, and also made it impossible for the forest to re-seed itself. It was not until the 1960s when a new generation of young college-educated activists successfully confronted the powers that be and won favorable judgements. In 1969, activists closed down a traditional claming beach to tourists and had it rezoned as a protected wildlife habitat. In 1971, following a dispute with the BIA over stumpage rates and clear-cutting practices, young Quinault leaders barricaded roads and bridges, shutting down logging operations. The lumber companies eventually acquiesced to their demands and in 1974 the Quinault initiated a reforestation project with the BIA.
Quinault leaders viewed natural resources as a single entity, each resource impacting on the other. Clear-cutting logging practices choked and poisoned the vital salmon rivers. A long hard fought campaign on this fisheries issue finally led to the Washington State Timber/Fish/Wildlife Agreement of 1987, which changed forever logging practices. The Quinault set up a Resource Development Project (QRDP) which implemented a scientific and highly acclaimed fish hatchery and management program. In 1978 the tribe secured a federal loan to begin to buy back land and resolve boundary disputes in order to consolidate its landholdings. By 1989 tribal ownership of reservation land increased from 2.2 percent to 17 percent. This vigorous defense of their rights against state government, federal agencies, and private corporations, has forged among the Quinault a new identity.
