Question

Select ALL correct statements about the Swinomish Tribe:

(A) Brian Cladoosby, a leader of the Swinomish Tribe, believes that everyone needs to work together to protect the environment and the salmon for future generations.
(B) The Swinomish Tribe has been fishing salmon on the Puyallup River for generations.
(C) One piece of evidence to prove that salmon is very important to the Swinomish Tribe is when Mr. Cladoosby refers to the tribe as "salmon people".
(D) This is a promise the Swinomish Tribe offers to its young people: If you graduate from high school or earn a GED, you get a full-ride scholarship to the college of your choice.

Answer 1

The Swinomish Tribe values environmental protection and salmon, with their leader advocating for sustainable practices and cultural ties to salmon, exemplified by calling themselves "salmon people." There is no data confirming they fish on the Puyallup River or offer full-ride scholarships to college for high school graduates.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Swinomish Tribe has a deep connection with the environment and particularly with salmon, which plays a crucial role in their culture and sustenance. From the statements provided, (A) Brian Cladoosby, a leader of the Swinomish Tribe, indeed emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts to protect the environment and salmon for future generations. Additionally, (C) referring to the tribe as "salmon people" by Mr. Cladoosby indeed signifies the tribe's intrinsic relationship with salmon, underscoring its cultural and spiritual importance. However, (B) the claim that the Swinomish Tribe has been fishing salmon on the Puyallup River is misleading as there is no specific evidence in the provided text tying them to that river for fishing practices.

The notion in (D) that the Swinomish Tribe promises a full-ride scholarship upon high school graduation or GED completion to the college of one's choice cannot be directly confirmed from the provided information and therefore cannot be assumed to be correct without additional supporting evidence.
