RoseMary LaClair wraps Jody Weil in an Indian blanket

With arms outreached, the Nooksack Indian Tribe Chair wrapped a blanket around the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Supervisor. It was a sign of importance on a day of importance. “When we wrap someone with a blanket, it signifies that we are wrapping their thoughts and their heart and everything that will come as a trouble to them,” said Nooksack Indian Tribe Chair RoseMary LaClair. “It signifies a blessing.”

The gifting of the Indian blanket concluded the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Nooksack Indian Tribe and the USDA Forest Service’s Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (MBS), on Feb. 16, 2023. The MOU formalized the relationship between these government-to-government entities—recognizing their co-stewardship of the land. “This was a very powerful commitment that we made,” said Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Supervisor Jody Weil.
