More than 150 people gathered along the Columbia’s scenic Hanford Reach for a daylong event to celebrate the late Russell Jim, a tribal leader, and to demand a thorough cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site on June 14. Jim dedicated his life to giving Native American tribes a voice in nuclear waste cleanup decisions at the Hanford. People from across the Pacific Northwest, including Yakama Nation elected officials, tribal government staff and citizens attended the event to listen to speakers, see shuttered nuclear reactors on boat tours and learn about cultural resources on guided hikes. The first annual Hanford Journey was co-sponsored by Yakama Nation Environmental Restoration and Waste Management program and the nonprofit Columbia Riverkeeper, whose mission is to protect and restore the water quality of the Columbia River and all life connected to it, from the headwaters to the Pacific Ocean.
