Several Washington tribes are helping the Yakama Nation search for a missing fisherman who is presumed to have drowned.
Over 100 people from the Yakama, Quinault, Puyallup, Umatilla and Tulalip tribes have lent support. They are trying to find Anthony Wesley, 52, whose boat capsized on the Columbia River on April 30.
"It's just amazing how many people we have down here supporting my little brother: cooks, searchers, enforcement," Simon Sampson told The Yakima Herald-Republic.
The accident claimed the lives of two people -- Jessica Lewis, 29, and d Wilson LaRoque, 57. A third person, Johnny Jack, was able to swim to safety.
