Chairman’s Report Consultation with the U.S. DOJ A consultation was held with U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) representa- tives Billy Williams and Tim Simmons in late August in Lincoln City. Items dis- cussed included Tribal hunting and fishing rights and natural resources . Run to the Rogue Run to the Rogue concluded on the Illinois River at the usual site. John Roe Jr. read Pauline Ricks’ testimony from the Restoration hearing. Having been present at the hearing, I heard it directly from Pauline, but it was most appropriately repeated for Tribal members to hear at this historic site. This is the kind of information that is so important to docu- ment and share with the membership. The runners and staff did a great job organizing the run – thank you all. Lincoln City 50 th Anniversary The Tribal Council helped celebrate Lincoln City’s 50 th Anniversary by taking part in a parade through downtown Lin- coln City. Our Royalty also participated in the parade. I believe it was the first parade ever through downtown Lincoln City. Roger and Pat Robertson were the chief organiz- ers of the event. UO President Michael Schill Oregon Tribes recently met with the new president of the University of Oregon, Michael Schill, in the campus longhouse. Elders Council Meeting Schill came to the university from Sche- nectady N.Y. It was his first opportunity to work with Tribes. He was very interested in the tribes’ history and eager to work us. Fundraiser for Congressman Schrader The Tribe hosted a fundraiser for Rep. Kurt Schrader at Chinook Winds’ Rogue River room. It was a nice affair. The congressman addressed the group and responded to questions. Schrader has been extremely helpful on all Tribal issues and we support his re- election to the fifth congressional district.
