“The 68-year-old Canadian tribal chief who perished in the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Wednesday drowned, according to a death certificate released Friday by the Clallam County prosecuting attorney. Joseph Andrew ‘Jerry’ Jack of Gold River, British Columbia, died when the Makah canoe in which he was paddling capsized, spilling him and five others into the 54-degree water west of the Dungeness Spit north of Sequim. The canoe, named Hummingbird, was part of the 2006 Inter-Tribal Canoe Journey. Jack was a hereditary chief of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht tribe in Gold River.” (07/30/06)
