第37届州—部落「百年协定」峰会开幕 弗格森与部落领袖齐聚斯诺夸尔米
斯诺夸尔米（Snoqualmie）消息：第37届「百年协定」（Centennial Accord）年度峰会于10月12日至15日在斯诺夸尔米赌场酒店举行，由斯诺夸尔米印第安部落（Snoqualmie Indian Tribe）主办。州长鲍勃·弗格森（Bob Ferguson）与州政府各机构负责人，将与获得联邦承认的各部落领袖举行政府对政府的正式会谈。
「百年协定」是华盛顿州政府与州内各主权部落于1989年签署的框架性协定，确立了双方以政府对政府方式协商合作的原则，此后每年举行峰会，讨论条约权利、自然资源、卫生、教育和经济发展等议题。近年来峰会的议程还包括州与部落之间的博彩协定等事项。
华盛顿州内有29个获得联邦承认的部落，州政府设有州长原住民事务办公室负责对部落联络。弗格森政府表示，将继续执行百年协定的承诺，在作出影响部落利益的决策前与部落充分协商。部落领袖则预计将就条约捕鱼权、栖息地保护以及联邦政策变化对部落项目的影响表达关切。
本届峰会为期四天，包含全体会议和分组协商，闭幕时预计将汇总各机构与部落达成的后续工作事项。
峰会期间，除全体会议外，州机构负责人还将分别与部落代表举行双边会谈，议题涵盖医疗、住房、交通等部落社区关心的民生事项。「百年协定」确立的这种常态化协商机制，常被视为美国州政府与部落关系的范例之一，双方都强调以相互尊重和协商一致的方式处理分歧。

37th Centennial Accord Summit Opens: Ferguson Meets Tribal Leaders at Snoqualmie
SNOQUALMIE, Wash. — The 37th annual Centennial Accord summit runs Oct. 12-15 at the Snoqualmie Casino & Hotel, hosted by the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. Gov. Bob Ferguson and the leaders of state agencies will hold formal government-to-government meetings with leaders of Washington's federally recognized tribes.
The Centennial Accord, signed in 1989 between the state and the sovereign tribal nations within its borders, established the principle of government-to-government consultation. The annual summit has since addressed treaty rights, natural resources, health, education and economic development; recent agendas have also included state-tribal gaming compacts.
Washington is home to 29 federally recognized tribes, and the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs coordinates state-tribal relations. The Ferguson administration says it will continue honoring the Accord's commitments, consulting tribes before decisions that affect tribal interests. Tribal leaders are expected to raise issues including treaty fishing rights, habitat protection and the impact of federal policy changes on tribal programs.
The four-day summit includes plenary sessions and smaller consultations, and is expected to close with a summary of follow-up commitments between agencies and tribes.
Alongside plenary sessions, agency leaders will hold bilateral meetings with tribal delegations on everyday concerns of tribal communities, including health care, housing and transportation. The standing consultation mechanism created by the Centennial Accord is often cited as a model of state-tribal relations in the United States, with both sides emphasizing mutual respect and consensus-based problem solving.
