Springs Buy Back—Mr. Scott, andFiduciary Trust Officer CharlesJackson—met recently with TribalCouncil.

At the time of the meeting lastweek, only 111 responses to theBuy Back offers had come in. Ofthat total, 103 had been accepted.

The total was in response to 677offers that had been made to land-owners of Warm Springs Reserva-tion allotments. The total responseto the offers was low; or at leastthe responses so far had been com-ing in at a slow pace, Mr. Jacksonsaid.

To state the situation anotherway: The Warm Springs Buy Back

program has available approxi-mately $4 million for purchasesamong the Warm Springs allot-ment owners.

To make the purchases fromthe 103 who had so far accepted(these numbers as of early lastweek), the cost would be about$440,000.

That would leave unspent alarge part of the available $4 mil-lion.

Funds that remain unspent atthe close of the Warm Springs pro-gram would revert back to theLand Buy-Back Program forTribal Nations. These funds wouldno longer be available to benefitthe Confederated Tribes, or WarmSprings allottees.

‘Fair market value’The Buy-Back Program

implements the land consolida-tion component ofthe Cobell Settlement. Thesettlement provided $1.9 bil-lion—the largest componentof the Cobell Settlement—topurchase fractional interests intrust or restricted land fromwilling sellers at fair marketvalue.

On the Warm Springs Res-ervation, allotment intereststhat are purchased through theBuy-Back program go to theConfederated Tribes.

The Agency Longhouse wasclosed to the public earlier thisyear, as testing of some areas ofthe building were positive formethamphetamine contamination.

Tribal management then beganthe process of finding a companyto remove the contamination.

This process has turned out tobe more complicated, and moreexpensive than was initially antici-pated.

The tribes sought bids fromcompanies that could de-contami-nate the Longhouse. Upon inspec-tion of the building the compa-nies indicated they could not ad-dress the methamphetamine con-tamination until the completion ofasbestos and lead paint mitigation.

This would require two con-secutive bids—first for the asbes-tos-lead paint mitigation, followedby the methamphetamine decon-tamination.

The two-part process would bevery drawn-out, said SecretaryTreasurer Michele Stacona, up-dating Tribal Council on the situ-ation earlier this week.

Management then looked fora company that could accomplishboth mitigations at one time.

A company based in Idahowould be able to do this work; soas a means of bringing theLonghouse back into use in atimely way, Management and Fi-nance presented this option toTribal Council.

The cost of the work wouldbe $192,000. Making this amountavailable for use at Longhousewould require use of previouslyallocated capital projects funding.

As there are other public build-ings on the reservation—restrooms at Elmer Quinn Park,for instance—that appear to re-quire mitigation work, the recom-mendation was to make a total of$300,000 available.

Tribal Council by resolutionmade the necessary adjustment tothe current year budget to addressthe matter.

Listen to KWSO 91.9for the upcoming series oftalks with Warm Springsveterans. As Warm Springsveterans advocates are gettingready for the day, here is aprof i l e o f ve terans Lar r yLangley, Ross Kalama andRafael Queahpama:

Larry Langley, U.S. ArmyWhen Mr. Langley went

to college he told his parentsthat he would be ready toserve, if he was drafted intothe war. “All the men in myfamily had served in war-time,” he says.

“My grandfather, AlfredSmith Sr. served in WorldWar I, and my uncles inWorld War II.”

Larry was indeed draftedinto the U.S. Army, andserved in Bravo Companyof the 169th Engineer Bat-talion. “There were onlythree roads in Vietnam,” hesays. “My job was to im-prove them by making theminto a two-lane basic highway,like Tenino Road.”

In Vietnam for 14months, Larry returnedhome a different man.

He suffered hearing loss,the affects of Agent Orange,

Honoring Vietnam Veterans as Parade and Expo are nearand has many other medi-cal issues pending at theVeterans Administration.

“The VA is hard to dealwith,” Larry says. “In my pe-riod of adjustment I hardlytalked to my family. I usedto take off by myself all thetime.”

Larry is still in touch withtwo of his buddies. “It wasan unpopular war,” he says,“but all veterans should betreated the same no matterwhat war they served in.”

Ross Kalama, U.S. Ma-rine Corps

Ross Kalama enlisted inthe United States MarineCorps and completed basictraining at Camp Pendletonin San Diego, California.

“My mom didn’t wantme to go, and my dad sawme off at the bus station atMadras. He was sad,” Mr.

Kalama says.In the H & S Company,

1st Battalion of the 26thMarines, Ross fought in the0311 Infantry at Da Nang,Rock Pile, Hill 55, Khe Sanh,the DMZ, and Hue amongmany locations.

On one occasion he camewithin 100 yards of hiscousin Randy Smith.

“Someone asked mewhat my real name was, be-cause they all called me‘Chief.’ They said a guynamed Randolph Smith wasasking for me. So I missedhim!”

Ross recalls, “Anothertime I was in the bunker, andthe plywood wall wasstamped ‘Eugene, Oregon.’I wondered if this was oneof the boards I had hauledfrom our Warm Springsmill.”

Ross returned from Viet-

nam a changed man.“The war changed me a

lot,” he says. “I have trustissues and a lot of health is-sues from Agent Orange. Ihave tinnitus and Post Trau-matic Stress Disorder.”

“When I returned to Cali-fornia there was no recep-tion,” Mr. Kalama says.

“I was bussed up to WarmSprings, where I got off atthe gas station and walkedwith my dufflebag on myshoulder to my aunt IrisSmith’s home. I am still intouch with two of my Ma-rine Corps buddies. We weretold what to do. After all this,I don’t trust the governmentand people.”

Rafael Queahpama, U.S.Army

Mr. Queahpama wasdrafted into the Vietnam Warin 1967. After completing

Susan GuerinLadies Auxiliary

basic training in Fort Lewishe was sent to Vietnam on atroopship. Stationed at QuanTri, Ralph had top secretclearance to work as a ra-dio/teletype operator in the507 Ammo Company.

After completing his tourof duty, Mr. Queahpamaflew back to McChord AirForce Base in Tacoma, andtook a bus to Portland, wherehe ran into two tribal mem-bers with whom he rode backto Warm Springs.

“I don’t recall any accep-tance, nor negative remarksupon my return,” Rafael says.“It was an honor to serve mycountry and to represent mytribe. It was a good experi-ence for me.”

During their meeting thismonth in Warm Springs,Congressman Greg Waldenand Tribal Council held awide ranging discussion—covering topics from thedrug abuse crisis, to reformof forest management andfire fighting, to the tribal in-frastructure dilemma.

The first talking point wasillegal opioid use in IndianCountry. The initial pointswere: The rate of drug over-dose deaths among Indiansis twice that of the generalpopulation. And deaths byprescription opioid over-doses among Indians in-creased four-fold between1999 and 2013.

Tribal Council ChairmanAustin Greene pointed outthat the tribes currently con-tend with problems associ-ated with alcohol abuse, andmethamphetamine. “Methuse on the reservation is af-fecting our housing efforts,and has moved into our pub-lic tribal buildings,” Chair-man Greene said.

Walden acknowledged thepoint: “I do realize that inthis region the meth prob-lem can be bigger, comparedto some other areas,” Rep.Walden said. For this reason,he said, we need flexibilityin the spending of federaldrug prevention and treat-ment funding.

Council and the Con-gressman also talked abouta variety of other subjects.

Councilman Ron Suppahsaid the Warm Springs Na-tional Fish Hatchery is on theverge of failing, and the is-sue—as with many otherthings—is funding.

Councilman Suppah saidthe tribal water treatmentplant also is 25 years old, andneeds significant improve-ment. Funding for this, suchas through IHS or the BIA,is a growing priority, Mr.

Suppah said.Council Vice Chairman

Jody Calica brought up theneed for downtown under-ground infrastructure, an-other area where BIA coop-eration will be essential.

Secretary TreasurerMichele Stacona said theWarm Springs Telecom hasa pending application—pending for two years now—to become the incumbentlocal exchange carrier.

With the ILEC status, theTelecom could make im-provements to better servethe reservation. Rep. Waldensaid he would contact theFCC and try to determinethe reason for the delay.

Some recent good news,the Congressman said, wasthe passage of legislation thatwill improve wildland firefighting. Among the provi-sions: The previous systemrequired the use of forestmanagement and fire pre-vention accounts for wildfire response. The new leg-islation provides funds thatwill be used specifically forfire fighting.

Prevention summitHealth and Human

Services general manageragain addressed the crisis ofdrug abuse on thereservation.

Tribal communities faceunique challenges in meetingthe challenge, Mrs. Cruz said.

The Confederated Tribeswill host the opioid and otherdrug abuse preventionsummit June 5-6 at Kah-Nee-Ta. This will be with thenine Oregon tribes, andgroups working with urbanpopulations of NativeAmericans, working with theOregon Health Authority.

Quick responseMy family had a health

emergency on February 25,2018. I called 911, and eventhough my house is hard tofind, EMS workers camewithin 10 minutes.

Because my small house isnot easy to negotiate a gur-ney through, the workers hadto improvise using the backdoor and a sheet ‘carrier.’Within 20 minutes, we wereon our way in the ambulance.

Thanks to Andrew andDan for the quick responseand excellent service. Wehave some of the best, welltrained EMS help right hereon the reservation!

Celilo: Final piece in Confluence series SalmonFeastonfluence has completed five

projects—teachable places explor-ing the confluence of history, cul-ture and ecology—along the Co-lumbia River system.

Each work—designed by artistMaya Lin, working with tribes andNorthwest communities—refer-ences a passage from the Lewis andClark journals.

The original idea for the seriesof places was inspired as commu-nities were planning for the 2006bicentennial of the Lewis andClark Expedition. It was in 1806that the expedition traveled alongthe Columbia to the Pacific.

The Confluence plan is to havesix places along the river system,the final piece being Celilo Park.

Part of the Celilo project willbe improvements to the existingpark, allowing better access by resi-dents and visitors. This could ben-efit tribal fishermen of the area,as visiting buyers would have easierand more visible access.

Another part of the project isthe creation of an elevated walk-way and pavilion, designed byMaya Lin. The walkway and pa-vilion—the Celilo Arc—wouldoverlook the area that once wasCelilo Falls.

“Maya Lin’s design for the CeliloArc is a 500-foot elevated walk-way inspired by the indigenous fish-ing platforms that still populate theshores of the Columbia River sys-tem,” as the Confluence statementreads.

Maya Lin Maya is a designer,architect and artist, known for hersculpture and land art. Perhapsher most famous work is the Viet-nam Veterans Memorial in Wash-ington, D.C.

The Celilo Park project has beenin a planning phase for some time,as funding was an issue.Confluence is now working to com-plete this final piece in the series.

Confluence executive directorColin Fogarty met last week withTribal Council. An issue was apending federal grant deadline thatwould fund the park infrastructurework. Other aspects of the projectwill be funded through foundation

support and private contributions.A previous Tribal Council had

made a resolution in support, butan updated statement would behelpful, Mr. Fogarty said. Councilvoted in favor of the request,which will be great support asConfluence secures the federalgrant.

Elder statementKaren Whitford, a Celilo Village

elder, in 2015 gave this statementabout the Celilo Park Confluenceproject:

Dear Confluence project and tribes,On behalf of Celilo Village and

the Columbia River Indians, thisproject is important in remembrancethat the Falls is sleeping and thatthe walkway is like an honor to theelders and the people of the river.Knowing that the other tribal opin-ions are important, this is impor-tant to the people here, right now.

So much has happened to thepeople of W’yam, historically. Thiswould be the highest honor to theFalls, to the elders and the river.

The W’yam people always saythat the Falls is sleeping but the roarof the Falls echoes in our hearts.And to me that walkway would giveme the greatest feeling , to walk andsee where the Falls is sleeping. Be-cause the Falls still echoes in ourhearts and our people. I feel Celilo

Falls should be honored in this man-ner with the Confluence project.

Karen Whitford.

Final pieceFive of the six places along the

river system have seen theirConfluence projects completed,from 2006 to 2015. These placesare designed as non-intrusive, subtleand minimalist, Mr. Fogarty said.

The point is to bring the visitor’sattention to the river, the land, theidea of what was here and how ithas changed, he said. These arethe six places of the Confluence,with brief comments as to their sig-nificance:

island to native grasses and wildflow-ers, and installation of a large, stone-rimmed earthwork: a “listeningcircle” sculpted out of a natural am-phitheater at the top of the island.The shape is inspired by a NezPerce blessing ceremony held herein spring 2005.

Celilo ParkAt Celilo, the Columbia River

once thundered over one of NorthAmerica’s strongest waterfalls, cre-ating a life-sustaining salmon fish-ery and gathering place for Nativepeople throughout the region.

Maya Lin has designed a simplearc cantilevered at the river’s edge,inspired by the fishing platformsused here before the falls were in-undated in 1957.

The U.S. Army Corps of En-gineers this week are spilling ad-ditional water over dam spillwayson the Columbia and Snake riv-ers.

The action is intended to helpsalmon, and comes following afederal appeals court ruling lastweek.

The three-judge Ninth U.S. Cir-cuit Court of Appeals upheld adecision by U.S. District CourtJudge Michael Simon, who hadfound that salmon are in a “pre-carious” condition.

The Army Corps and the Na-tional Marine Fisheries Servicehad appealed Judge Simon’s rul-ing.

Their arguments were thatthere was not enough time tocome up with a spill plan, and alsothat the salmon were not in needof the added protection.

The decision is a win for plain-tiffs in the case. These includethe Nez Perce Tribe, state of Or-egon, and conservation and fish-ing groups.

Steve Masuda, attorney forone of plaintiff Earthjustice, said

added spill has been proven to helpjuvenile salmon.

“Spill is really the one brightspot in efforts to preserve salmonover the past 10 years or so,” Mr.Masuda said.

This is the fourth time since2005 that increased spill has been

mandated by a federal court.However, Joseph Bogaard, ex-

ecutive director of the Save OurWild Salmon Coalition, says thespill is only one part of efforts torestore the regions’ salmon. Hesays the federal government con-tinues to propose inadequate plans

to save the 13 populations of Co-lumbia River Basin salmon thathave been endangered for the pasttwo decades.

As the spill ruling was an-nounced last week, Congress-man Dan Newhouse was meet-ing in Kennewick with business,agriculture, utility and commu-nity leaders, who oppose boththe increased spill.

One of the their arguments:Water that is spilled cannot beused to produce inexpensiveelectricity, which increases theutility bills for Northwestratepayers.

Newhouse said that U.S.House leadership a bill, H.R.3144, would advance to consid-eration by a committee, and

then possibly to a vote of the fullHouse as early as this month.

The bill would keep the statusquo at the Snake and ColumbiaRiver dams until at least 2022,with no court-ordered change tooperations.

Now dams are operated undera plan called the Federal Colum-bia River Biological Opinion, orBiOp. It was created by a collabo-ration of federal agencies, statesand tribes during the administra-tion of President Barack Obamato protect salmon while operatingdams.

Judge Simon has found the

BiOp does not do enough toprotect salmon.

He ruled that a new environ-mental study is needed to lookat the Columbia and Snake riv-ers hydropower system and thatit must consider the option ofbreaching, or removing, theSnake River dams from IceHarbor Dam near Burbankupriver to Lower Granite Dam.

The Bonneville Power Ad-ministration said it will followthe court decision and increasespill, even though it would in-crease electricity costs in theNorthwest.

Bill would maintain dams status quo

The tribes celebrated theSecond Annual WarmSprings Healing our Spirits& Lands Round Dance inlate March at the CommunityCenter.

Spirits& Lands

(Continued from page 1)Having a consolidated land in-

terest would allow the tribes to de-termine, and then potentiallyimplement, the best use of theland.

Best use is precluded when mul-tiple people—heirs of the originalallottee—own fractions of an in-terest in the particular parcel.

After the April 24 deadlinepasses, it is possible this year thatthe Buy Back program will have asecond series of offers. This couldhelp address the low response tothe first wave of offers, Mr. Jack-son said.

Councilman Jody Calica raisedthe issue of the Buy Back programassessment of ‘fair market value’of the allotments in questions.

Tribal Council had raised thefair market value issue in Febru-ary, when Council met with ap-praisers from the Office of Ap-praisal Services, an office of theDepartment of the Interior. Ap-

praisers from this office haveworked with tribes and the BIA toimplement the Buy-Back compo-nent of the Cobell settlement.

The Office of Appraisal Ser-vices last year used a process called‘mass appraisal’ to come up withfair market value calculations formore than 340 tracts on the WarmSprings Reservation.

Mass appraisal is used to calcu-late fair market values for largenumbers of parcels. This is a lessexpensive alternative to site spe-cific appraisals.

The mass appraisal value of aparcel can be quite different fromthe site specific value, in somecases a much lower value. In theseinstances, the appraisers evaluatethe information in order to recon-cile the figures, with the hope of aachieving a fair market value.

Willing sellersLand Buy Back purchases are

made only from willing sellers at

fair market value, as set by theOffice of Appraisal Services.

Consolidated interests are im-mediately restored to tribal trustownership for uses benefiting thereservation community and tribalmembers. Benefits of the program,as described in the Buy Back lit-erature:

Returning fractionated lands totribes in trust has potential to im-prove tribal community resourcesby increasing home site locations,improving transportation routes,spurring economic development,easing approval for infrastructureand community projects, and pre-serving traditional cultural or cer-emonial sites.

Fractionated interests in prop-erty make good use difficult, be-cause of the number of people—hundreds, even thousands—withan interest. The land buy-backprogram would give fair marketvalue to each individual who hasan interest in an allotment, plus $75.

DedicationDay at CPSThe Confederated Tribes held the

Dedication Day and Open Housefor the renovated Children’s Pro-tective Services building. Peoplewho attended were given a tour ofthe building, and all were impressed:

The CPS offices and home areaare now wholly improved followingthe four-month renovation. Fromthe floor to the roof, the Construc-tion crew has rendered the facilitya much more habitable and pleas-ant place to work and serve thechildren.

When the construction work wasfinished, Tribal Council approvedthe purchase of new furniture (be-low at right). Council, executive man-agement and Health & Human Ser-vices worked together, starting lastyear, to make the project happen.

During the dedication, long-time CPS worker Roberta Tuftipresented a Pendleton blanket to previous CPS directorRebekah Main (photo at left). Some years ago as director, Ms.Main set up the fund for these future improvements. “She’s theone who had the foresight to put monies aside to make therenovations,” said current CPS director Cecelia Collins.
