SUMMARY:Invitation to Visit Pushpum
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 8 for a rare opportunity to see the site of the proposed Goldendale Pumped Storage development that threatens to destroy sacred Tribal lands \nKnown to the Yakama Nation as “mother of all roots\,” Pushpum is a sacred site for Yakama Nation ceremonies\, legends\, and gathering of traditional roots and medicines. Rye Development proposes to permanently destroy Pushpum by building the Goldendale Pumped Storage development\, the largest such development proposal in the Pacific Northwest. \nThe Washington Department of Ecology and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) both concluded that the development of Goldendale Pumped Storage would have “unique significant and unavoidable adverse impacts on Tribal communities and members.” Yet they still recommended that the development move forward. FERC Commissioners approved the final license for the development in January 2026\, though opposition continues. \nNow\, for the first time\, Yakama Nation has secured landowner approval to hold an event near the proposed pumped-storage site. Yakama Nation\, led by members of the Rock Creek Band\, is leading a public event on Friday\, May 8 that will include speakers and ceremonies.  \nWHERE: 1140 Goldendale Goodnoe Hills Road #1032\, Goldendale\, WA 98620 \nWHEN: Friday\, May 8\, 2026\, from 10:30 a.m. to approximately 2:30 p.m.  \nAGENDA:  \n\n10:30 a.m. Invocation and welcome\n11:00 a.m. Elected officials and cultural leader speakers\n12:00 p.m. Complimentary salmon lunch with pre-registration via Eventbrite\n1:00 p.m. Cultural and traditional tribal social dances\n2:30 p.m. Event concludes\n\nREGISTRATION:  \n\nPlease register using this Eventbrite link.
