fishing for the tribe.
Natural resources will also
be required to notify state and
federal agencies a minimum of
seven days prior to the start of
each fishery. The notification
will include the dates of the
fishery, fishing sites used, the
harvest goal and the identity of
the fishing crew.
Natural resources will be
responsible for preserving and
storing the ceremonial catch at
a site near thé fishery.
Following the fishery, natural
resources will be responsible
for “safe” transportation of the
catch to tribal lockers on the
reservation.
According to the resolution,
it will be unlawful to fish except
in a c c o rd a n ce w ith the
procedures set out in the new
rules and regulations. It will
also be illegal for any member
of the fishing crew, or any other
person, to sell, barter, give
away or keep fish caught for
ceremonial purposes.
The Tribal Council wanted it
clear, said Arnett, that this is a
“drastic measure” due to
problems in the past. There will
be “direct tribal control - of
ceremonial fisheries,” said
Arnett.
Tribal Council intends to
review th ese p ro c e d u re s
fo llo w in g the upcom ing
summer ceremonial fishery.

Upgrading the emergency

According to Huff, it is the
plan of the Fire & Safety
Department to eventually have
all personnel on the EMT II

present, EMT 1 is the level need
