Management Reports Progress Report - Self-Insurance Program TOE NESS There was this young fellow working with a large firm; he was prom oted to an execu tiv e position and assigned to a new office upstairs. One day he was sitting at his desk admiring his new office, new furniture, when in walks a guy in ordinary work clothes. The young executive wanted to make an impression on the guy, he picks up the phone and said , “ Make plane reservation s for m e to W ashington D.C. for tomorrow and to return the follow ing day, Okay!” He turns to the buy and said, “Now what can I do for you?” “Oh! Nothing,” said the guy, “I just cam e in to hook up your phone.” “YIKES” ss ss ss It’s been said that everytime history repeats itself, the prices double. “YIKES“ SS SS s s The reason why worry kills' m ore people than work is the simple reason more people worry than work.” “YIKES” SS SS SS “No matter how much you try to improve Mother nature you can’t fool Father Time.” “YIKES” SS SS SS “You know that before credit cards everyone knew exactly how much broke they were.” “YIKES” SS SS SS Traffic through the lobby of the Administration Building has slowed considerably since the new landform model arrived last week. Tribal Planner Ray Rangila (center) pointed out a landmark to Council Chairman Gene Greene (left) and Land Use Committee member Elmer Quinn. The detailed model of the Warm Springs Community, showing elevation, vegetation, buildings and even tiny cars, was constructed by Bockel Architectural Models in Lake Oswego in cooperation with Planning, BIA Realty and the Land Use Committee. It took four months to prepare base maps, photograph the area, scale the buildings and trees, and construct the model which is on permanent display. CDS Photo National Indian News Briefs» PAPER SUPPORTS INDIANS: “MORE TO JUSTICE THAN NUMBERS:” The newsletter of the Columbia River Inter-tribal Fish Commission reprinted a supporting editorial from the March 28 'Lesiston Morning Tribune. Part of the editorial follows: “Is it unfair for the Ju stice D epartm ent to represent Indian tribes in m ajor law su its again st non-Indians and their interests? Both of Washington state’s senators think so, and both are putting pressure on the Carter administration to do something about it: As Sen. Henry Jackson put it to the T ribune’s Washington reporter, A. Robert Smith: ‘We can’t go on the way are now because it’s our government against 99 percent of the population of the United States, and that doesn’t make sense.’ It doesn’t make sense in terms of proportion, perhaps, but there is more to justice and to governmental responsibility than number. The United States is responsible for the enforcement of treaties, and when Indian tribes have reason to believe their treaty rights are being violated they correctly look to the Justice Department for help. If the United States has promised an Indian tribe certain fishing rights in return for tribal lands, then it is the responsibility of the United States to make certain the promise is kept. It shouldn’t matter how much the non-Indians outnumber the Indians; a deal is a deal and the responsibility for keeping its end of the bargain belongs to the federal government..........The point is that the U.S. is the signatory to an agreement with the Indians and it cannot simply walk away from that; The power to make treaties implies not only the power to enforce them but the obligation as w ell.”. NEWSWEEK REPORTS ON PALEFACE UPRISING: The following is excerpted from the April 10 issue of the national magazine. “ . . . Indians have finally earned that ultimate badge of minority success — a genuine and threatening white backlash. The organized white protesters . . . call themselves the Interstate Congress for Equal Rights and Responsibilities . . . ICERR which has attracted tens of thousands . . . since it was founded two years ago, is supporting scores of countersuits in twenty states contesting Indian claims to land, water and fishing rights. The whole backlash has promted the Navajo tribal council . . . to summon all tribes to a m eetin g.......... At next week’s ....summit....the object is to raise $50,000 to support a public relations group called the Native American Treaty Rights Organization. The Indians plan to play rough if their campaign fails to stem white backlash. ‘We hate to embarrass the U.S., but w e’re going to take our problems to the Third World.’...,” GERARD REQUESTS REMOVAL OF ASSISTANT SOLICITOR IN NORTHWEST: In an angry memorandum to the Interior’s Solicitor, Assistant Secretary Forrest Gerard asked that Assistant Regional Solicitor Richard Heely be relieved immediately of any involvement in Indian cases. Heely, together with a Justice Department Attorney, submitted a memorandum to the U.S. District Court in Washington State ^expressing views contrary to Gerard’s on tribal regulatory powers. Gerard wrote: “We are appalled to learn that two Federal officials have taken an action potentially harmful to Federal-Indian policy and Federal-Indian law without regard to known Department positions, lines of authority, and legal rules of procedure. This action cannot be tolerated.” Gerard said that several Indian leaders from the Northwest have demanded Heely’s immediate removal. He said that the actions of the two attorneys served “to undercut the credibility of the United States Government and its officials and to undermine our ability to function effectively in these and other delicate situations.” I- - - SUBSCRipfiON_ fo _SPILYAY TYMOO SEND SUBSCRIPTION TO Spilyay Tymoo P.O.
