A6 Community wallowa.com CRITFC announces new executive director Jaime Pinkham will take over April 24 EO Media Group A new executive director is coming to the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. Jaime Pinkham, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe with more than 30 years of expe- rience in American Indian af- fairs, will take over at CRIT- FC beginning April 24. The Portland-based commission works on behalf of four tribes, including the Umatilla, Warm Springs, Yakama and Nez Perce, to enforce treaty fi shing rights and infl uence fi sheries management. With his selection, Pinkham becomes the 10th di- rector of CRITFC in 40 years. “As a treaty fi sher and hunter, I am humbled to work with the member tribes of CRITFC,” Pinkham said in a statement. “CRITFC plays an important role working at the intersection of each tribe’s in- dividual autonomy and their unifi ed voice. Healthy and harvestable salmon runs are fundamental to the sovereign identities and cultures of the four member tribes.” For the last eight years, Pinkham has served as vice president of the Bush Foun- dation in Saint Paul, Minne- sota, where he led the Native Nations program. His work led to the creation of the Na- tive Governance Center, a nonprofi t providing technical support to tribes in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Da- kota as they redesigned their government systems. Prior to that, Pinkham spent two decades in the Pacifi c Northwest advocating for tribal sovereignty and trea- ty rights, Pinkham including a stint at CRITFC from 2005 to 2008 as watershed development manager. Pinkham has a degree in forestry from Oregon State University. He has twice been elected to the Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee, and led its natural resources program focused on salmon resto- ration, land acquisition, wolf recovery and water rights ne- gotiations. CRITFC chairman Leland Bill said Pinkham’s work on tribal sovereignty and natural resources stood out among the fi eld of candidates for execu- tive director. “We look forward to work- ing with Jaime as we face a number of current issues that impact salmon and tribal trea- ty fi shing rights, including climate change, an altered federal government landscape and the renegotiation of the Columbia River Treaty.” Pinkham succeeds Paul Lumley, who served for eight years before leaving to lead the Native American Youth and Family Associ- ation in Portland. Rob Lo- throp will continue to serve as interim executive director until Pinkham arrives.

He fi nds that for 140 days without a break, there was freezing temperatures ev- ery morning.
