not get enough fish to maintain
life. He said the treaty gave the
Indians the right to barter and
that bartering was a way of life
for the Indian but with the new
code, bartering is a violation.
Olney said, “We (the Yakima)
stand on the treaty.”
One topic expected to also be
discussed, but was not, was the
newly formed police depart
ment which will soon start
working in Zone 6 checking
nets and enforcing the new
code. Two officers will be hired
from each of the four treaty
tribes and work under the field

Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Fish Com m ission a t the
CRITFC Hood River office. It
was orginally planned to have
the police officers on the job by
July 1, but due to delays, they
won’t begin untilmid-July. The
positions are co-financed
by CRITFC and the four tribal
governments.
The new code, which has
been approved by three of the
four treaty tribes with Yakima
not approving, will be enforced
by the new police force when
they begin working. Warm
