The Mountaineers and Keta Legacy Foundation entered confidential negotiations in September 2023 to resolve the final piece of the lawsuit: The use of and rights to the “Mountaineers Foundation” name.

Jeff Wirtz, former Keta Legacy Foundation president, said reaching an agreement allows the nonprofits to continue to focus on their top priorities, including “protecting the forests and salmon-bearing streams in and around the Rhododendron Preserve and ensuring outdoor access for all through both groups’ activities.”

More recently, chum has been marketed as Keta and Silverbrite, and Schooler has been experimenting with dry-aging it.

"My sisters and my nieces and my nephews are gone, they are deceased, they are never coming back," Keta Purifoy, a relative of the victims, told the local news outlet.

The tribe knows coexistence is possible: Its work rebuilding chum runs at its Keta Creek Hatchery has powered a fishery for the tribe that also benefits recreational fishermen who throng the Green River every fall to catch a tasty chum for the smoker.
