• This ocean planning in Oregon document may prove useful in adding context to much of Ternyik's work.
• Small mention in academic journal: Edward J. Sullivan, Protecting Oregon's Estuaries, Ocean & Coastal L.J. 373 (2018). https://digitalcommons.mainelaw.maine.edu/oclj/vol23/iss2/5

This Facebook post says that Ternyik was a "tribal elder" of something called the "Clatsop-Nehalem Confederated Tribes", which turns out to be an unrecognized heritage group that has been denied recognition. He's not Native American. Bohemian Baltimore ( talk) 04:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply
