During the 1950’s the United States Federal Government
proposed to terminate the Colville Indian Reservation.
Covington resolved to resist, for the next 2 decades
Covington devoted her time to all tribes across the U.S.,
Tribal Council Chambers, Congressional Hearing rooms &
National Indian Convention(s). Covington worked
effectively to preserve the Colville Indian Reservation and
make the United States fulfill its trust responsibility.
Controversy over termination of the Colville Indian
Reservation divided support to protect the reservation.
During Covington’s term(s) few fellow Council shared her
view. With loss of support and understanding from fellow
Council Lucy did not receive supporting funds for travel to
Washington D.C. to voice protecting the Colville Indian
Reservation and the United States Federal Government’s
attempt to terminate.
Covington met with Emily & George Friedlander to discuss
travel funds that Tribal Council would not support.
Covington & George Friedlander sold their own livestock;
cattle, and precious bloodline horses descending from Chief
Moses to fund her travels to Washington D.C. in efforts to
protect ancestral lands. Covington’s passion to utilize every
effort to save the Colville Indian Reservation landed
