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”

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.

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.”
