Seattle Mayor McGinn commenting on the healing pole that traveled from the Powder River Basin to Cherry Point to high light the impacts of the proposed coal export terminals in WA and Oregon state. “The Kwel Hoy’ Totem Pole is a symbol of what will be lost if we move forward with coal exports in the Northwest,” said McGinn. “Communities up and down the rail lines will suffer the impacts, tribal culture and treaty rights will be damaged, and climate change will be worsened. I am pleased to join with members of the Lummi Nation as well as the more than 75 elected and tribal leaders in the Leadership Alliance Against Coal to continue the fight against the proposed coal terminals in Washington and Oregon.”
