Klamaths receive final payment
Two India students making the M adras Jr. High honor roll fo r the
second nine week session o f the Sch ool year are Carla Tewee (left)
and A nnette Archer (right). B oth are seventh graders.
A suit begun ten years ago
will result in the distribution of
a $16.5 million settlement to
members o f the Klamath
Indian Tribe.
The settlement came last
October after a lawsuit alleged
that the BIA mismanaged
timber on . tribal land between
1910 and 1954 when the tribe
was officially terminated.
Prior to this distribution the
Klamath Indians have received
checks twice during this decade
to settle timber disputes. In
1974 the government distri
buted $49 million and in 1980
$81.5 million.
Those eligible to share in the
distribution are survivors and
heirs of the 2,133 Indians listed
on the tribal rolls at the time of
the termination.
Checks were issued March 1
to the original tribal members
while checks to 3,500 heirs will
be sent in May, the delay being
to make certain that all the
heirs have been located and
addresses are current.

flea on a cat?

way at the upcoming Madras
Jr. High science fair scheduled
for March 15.
Each student thinks up his or
her own project and comes up
with results by proceeding
through scientific methodo
logy.

according to MJH counselor
D o y le W h ip p le, “ crea tes
curiosity” for science and also

scientific approach to finding
a n sw e r s to th e ir m an y
questions.
That same evening the

sponsoring a spaghetti feed
preceeding the opening of the

decision-making.
Frohnm ayer said court
decisions make it clear that
U m atilla C ounty has no
a u th o r ity to a p p ly its
regulations to Indian-owned
trust land created by Congress.
“With respect to non-Indian fee
lands outside the diminished
reservation but within the
original 1855 treaty bounda
ries, the answer depends
upon the fatual circumstances
as th ey bear u p on ,th e
sovereign interest in protecting
their political integrity, their
economic security and their
health or w elfare,” said
Frohnmayer.
The question of the tribes’
authority to control uses of
non-Indian fee lands outside of
the reservation but inside the
original treaty boundaries “will
depend on how persuasive a
case the tribes can muster
factually to support their
sovereign interest in regulating
isolated non-Indian parcels
