He always wanted to do the best he could for us and we hope that he will come back to visit when he can.” An enrolled member of the Tlingit and Haida Tribes of Alaska, Wright was involved with some of the challenges of tribal government. Wright acted as a spokesman for the Board of Trustees when its mem- bers vacated a seat held by at-large member Sally Kosey in 2019, alleging she didn’t meet residency requirements. Both sides reached a settlement that allowed Kosey to keep her seat through the remainder of her term, and after a cou- ple of ensuing elections, she was elected to a new term as board secretary and voters approved an amendment to the tribal election clarify- ing residency requirements for elected offi cials. Wright has also led tribal government during the onset of the COVID- 19 pandemic, which has led to more than 100 positive cases among tribal mem- bers and one death. Interim executive direc- tor duties now fall to Sams, who was promoted from communications director to deputy director in July after the position was revived. As deputy director, Sams split department supervi- sory duties with Wright, but CTUIR Communications Director Matt Johnson said tribal leaders were still dis- cussing whether to appoint an interim deputy director to assist Sams.

According to a Nov. 2 press release, Wright is leav- ing East- ern Oregon to take the same posi- tion with the Spo- kane Indian Tribe, a Wright tribe with a reserva- tion northwest of the city of Spokane. The press release cred- ited Wright for his role in working with a consultant to conduct an organiza- tional assessment of tribal government. The assess- ment resulted in the hir- ing of Chuck Sams as dep- uty executive director, and he will serve as the interim executive director until a permanent successor is named. “We are extremely thankful to Ted for the time, effort, and profession- alism that he has brought to the position of Exec- utive Director,” CTUIR Board of Trustees Chair Kat Brigham said in a state- ment. “2020 has been a very tough year but his ability to adapt and contribute to the protection and enhance- ment of CTUIR’s rights and interests has been clear.

WESTON — Umatilla County Search and Rescue safely located a man and his grandson after they were lost on the Coyote Ridge Trail- head outside of Weston for more than 12 hours on Sun- day, Nov. 8, according to a press release. The search and res- cue team was activated after Umatilla County Dis- patch received a call around 7:40 p.m. on Nov. 8 from Bruce Bryan, 64, who reported that he and his 17-year-old grandson, Jesse Bryan, had been lost since 4 p.m. while elk hunting in the area. Volunteers Bob Carrell, Dottie Carrell and Shari Phelan and Scott Schuen- ing drove to Bingham Road and began hiking toward the hikers. “Phelan, Schuening and Johnson hiked for approx- imately four hours through snow, washed out areas from the spring fl oods, fallen trees, thick brush and waded across Coyote Creek before locating the hunters,” the release stated. The Bryans were located around 3 a.m. and were “cold and wet but not injured,” according to the release. Search and rescue led the hikers back to their vehicle, which they reached at about 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 9.
