Spilyay Tymoo photo by Shewczyk New attorney joins tribal advisors Recently joining the legal firm of Johnson, Marceau K a rn o p p an d P e te r s o n , H o w a rd A r n e tt is now providing legal consultation services for individual tribal members. Since becoming an associate in the Bend firm during the month of December, Arnett has been meeting every Tuesday afternoon in Warm Springs with tribal members desiring legal advice. A r n e tt r e p la c e s J im N oteboon in this advice capacity. According to Arnett, “Part of the contract between the Tribe and the firm is to provide legal assistance to tribal members. This amounts to advice and counseling needs.” This service does not include court appearances, however. If a legal problem can be handled informally through letters and phone calls Arnett can assist. If it is necessary to make any court appearances the tribal member must retain an attorney privately. Howard Arnett is one of five members of the Bend firm which has been retained by the Tribe since 1955. Dennis Karnopp deals with just about everything, he says. His more general responsibilities include fis h e rie s , a d m in s tr a tio n , power, and on and on. Jim Noteboo’. currently working on power issues and with the tribal adminstration and on water rights issues. He has recently revised Ordinance 55 to help in combating the Equine Infectious Anemia which currently infests many of th e r e s e r v a tio n ’s h o rse population. R o b ert N ash’s prim ary responsibility is litigation. You’ll see him in court. A behind-the-scenes man is Jim Peterson. He is very p ra c tic e d in th e lu m b er industry problems having had experience with a lumber company prior to beginning work with the Bend law firm. Being new to the firm and to tribal affairs, Arnett is getting a crash course in the specialized problems of the Warm Springs reservation which the more experienced attorneys have a lre a d y received. He is spending much time attending m e e tin g s an d b e c o m in g acquainted with the issues, especially fisheries. He says he “hasn’t had much time for o th e r a c tiv itie s .” T rib a l business is keeping him pretty busy. A native Oregonian, Arnett is orginally from Portland. He attended high school in Bend and law school in Eugene at the University of Oregon. After graduation he served in a legal services program in Arizona. Arnett chose to return to Oregon upon accepting a position with the legal firm in Bend which is retained by the Tribe. Arnett’s interests are not necessarily limited to legal matters. He was curious as to the date of the next powwow. Some young folks have been going around the community selling Mr. Yuk stickers.
