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.

with many products that make
life easier and more pleasant,
such as cleaning supplies,
cosmetics and medicines. Any
of these products can poison a
child who swallows or inhales
them.

Yuk means NO. Take children
with you as you place a Mr.
Yuk sticker on dangerous
products. Place a Mr. Yuk on
your telephone. The name and
