Many different tribal groups, including the Lakoca (Sioux) from South Dakota, the Lummi Nation from Washington state, and members of the Algonquin nation from Michigan, sen, representatives to the protest. Some groups carried banners with symbols of their tribal groups...
...South Africa, it is important for a girl to be a virgin when she marries." ∎ The Indian nations were in disarray. The Yakima were war-whooping over the seating arrangements, a Lummi complained about the food, and Sacheen Littlefeather was not there. On top of everything, there was Old Thunder Cloud himself, Marlon Brando, chiding the socialite nation for deserting its red brother. This uncomfortable powwow took place last week on a posh Manhattan reservation where Brando was chairman of a gala starring Guest of Honor Ethel Kennedy and Entertainers Harry Belafonte, Arlo Guthrie and Buffy Sainte-Marie...
...coup for Cavett: coaxing Actor Marlon Brando into his first TV interview. Dick promised that the taciturn actor could talk about his favorite cause, the American Indian. He did, and he also brought on a Cheyenne, a Paiute and a Lummi.

...University of Washington, researchers have succeeded in breeding a so-called "supertrout," which outstrips its punier kin by gaining as much as two pounds a year and thriving in salt water. By cultivating the supertrout, as well as oysters and algae, Washington State's impoverished Lummi Indians are establishing one of the more promising U.S. aquafarms. The Oceanic Institute's founder, Taylor A. Pryor, whose researchers advise the Lummis, thinks similarly lucrative aquafarms can be set up all along the tidal areas of the U.S. Northwest, British Columbia and southern Alaska...
There are, however, encouraging signs of progress on some reservations. The Lummi tribe of Washington State, a sea-oriented people along Puget Sound, are using federal funds and considerable hard labor to develop the most advanced aquafarm in the U.S. They control the spawning and cultivating of oysters, the breeding of hybrid steelhead-rainbow trout and the harvesting of algae, used in making toothpaste, ice cream and pudding. It may net $1,000 an acre for the Indians, compared with at most $40 an acre in land farming...
