No, not really. But I'm not sure the government mandating particular qualifications for an increasing number of jobs in our economy is really a wise course, so laws like this deserve scrutiny. Safety is so often the justification used to exclude competing workers from the labor pool.
I think the question of importance (to which I do not know the answer in this case) is just who it was lobbying the legislature for this change. Was it the public, outraged at the lack of safety in power plants? Was it the workers at such facilities, who feel they are working with incompetent colleagues who endanger their lives? Or was it the credentialing organization within the industry, eager to ensconce itself as gatekeeper able to limit the number of competitors who can enter the labor force?
The latter situation is where the trouble usually is.

Department of American Indian Studies
at University of Washington. If anyone knows of good resources for you, they will. That teach that stuff for a living and they know so much they even offer Masters Degrees in American Indian Studies.
I know there's quite a few books on the Native Americans of Washington state. A simple search of Amazon.com should locate them. University library librarian can locate such books too. Public library not likely to have much but might have a book or two on Pacific Northwest Indians.
