Episode 130 Willie Frank III and Peggen Frank

This week I had the opportunity to visit with Chairman of the Nisqually Tribe Willie Frank III and his amazing wife Peggen Frank who is the executive director of the nonprofit Salmon Defense among many other amazing things. We talked about Peg's work advocating on behalf of numerous Native Tribes in the Northwest and beyond, the Billy Frank Jr Classic golf tournament coming up this summer, and raising money for the statue that will be standing in the US Capitol in two years time. We also talked about the Nisqually River and what it means to Willie and his entire family, his recent meetings with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Jay Inslee and other politicians to shine a light on the importance of the environment for the future of the salmon and all of us! We couldn't avoid talking about the Seattle Supersonics and their meaning to everyone in the Northwest. Connect with The Salmon Defense and donate if you can at the links below. Please listen, like, rate, review, and share!! We're still just trying to find a cure for paralysis!! And make sure our world is here to pass on to our children!!
