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.
