c P age 8 March 1,1985 > Nusux Snwit Fish Talk Higher return expected take similar action soon. by Cris Stainbrook A fter a tw o m onth sabbatical from writing this colum n, I have picked up the pen again and fully intend to meet the ever so strict deadline imposed by the Spilyay staff. R a th e r th a n im m e d ia te ly climbing upon my soap box and w axing a t length on a single topic, it is probably b etter th a t I ease back into this w riting thing. So here are some bits and pieces. The treaty w inter fishing sea son is currently underw ay in the C olum bia River. The fishing effort and catches have been light. T he catch is prim arily steelhead with a few sturgeon being taken. , The state com pact, which sets the season, adopted a M arch 21 closing date for the season which began F ebruary 1. As in past seasons the Confederated Tribes have taken action to close the season earlier. The early closure is to prevent the com mercial harvest o f spring chinook prior to the First Fish Cerem ony and R oot Feast. The tribal organizations are to be com m ended for holding tô their traditional values des-? pite increasing économie pres su res. T h is y ea r th e W arm Springs T ribal Council passed a resolution to close the fishery on M arch 10. The other three treaty tribes are expected to Colum bia River spring Chi nook runs were the topic of a session a t the recent American Fisheries Society meeting. The question being posed rhetrically was, “Can upriver spring Chi nook stocks survive?” This is a problem th a t has been on m any biologists m inds in light of the decline in run size in recent years. • Topics of discussion during the session dealt with' tran sp o rt ing ju v e n ile c h in o o k d o w n stream , disease problem s, stress on the fish as they m igrated to the ocean and the genetic ability of the chinook stocks to a d a p t . to the changed river system. Each talk stressed the im por tance of the inter-relationship of the topics. The conclusion was th at upriver spring chinook stocks will survive. However, in order for th a t to be insured, everything th a t affects their sur vival m ust be optim ized tow ard survival. This spring’s Colum bia River run is projected by region biol ogists to be around 50,000 chi nook. T hat estim ate is similar to the 1983 and 1984 runs. The 1986 spring run should reflect the benefits of increased flbws for fish passage at the main stream C olum bia River dams. Increased num bers of spring chinook will also result from habitat restoration and run sizes { should begin to increase sub stantially. The 1985 Deschutes River spring chinook run is expected to be stronger than last year’s. The 1984 run tallied 2,253 adult chinook; 3,944 adults are ex pected to enter the Deschutes in 1985. The difference in the two years is the higher expected return to Round Butte Hatchery and W arm Springs N ational Fish H atchery. The wild es capement into the W arm Springs should be sim ilar to 1984 when the Deschutes River was closed to fishing for spring chinook. In the near future the run into the Deschutes should continue to increase. The hatchery returns are projected to be better and wild fish production has in creased over previous years. B arring environm ental catas trophe, like El Nino, it is unlikely th a t a fishing closure on Des chutes River spring chinook will be necessary in the future. & much adverse publicity and is not widely favored.

A nother topic mentioned was the reservation as a com m unity and will include discussions of the social, economic and political aspects of reservation living and the desire to preserve a balance between contem porary cultural and traditional lifestyles. The final topic is cultural resource m anagem ent and will discuss the native American cul tural resource issues and m an agement priorities. These will include, b u t not lim ited to, the identification and preservation of food sites; surface survey of archaeological sites and cultural management and economic devel opm ent opportunities arid con flicts.

The report has met with SPILYAY TYMOO basic pattern for the distribution of property where the owner h a s n e g le c te d to m a k e a valid will. In many instances, the owner desires a different distribution, and th at can only be accom plished by a properly draw n will. M any of us are fam iliar with the problem s which are created when an Indian owner of trust or restricted land or inherited interests dies intestate (without a will.) As m any as fifteen or twenty or more new owners may be added to the ownership cards where the decedent died w ithout a wife or children and the estate descended to his col lateral heirs. In this way, title is further fractionated, control is drastically weakened, and fre quently, the property becomes less desirable. The making of a will does nor will not, of itself, eliminate the heirship dilemma. However, if is an effective tool for controlling the problem and at the same tim e, it offers a way to carry out the true wishes of the landowner. vate underw riters—rather than the BIA— make the underw rit ing determ ination. ♦Tribal governments exercise sovereignty to enhance oppor tunities fo r IridiâiïS büsinëSS atid im prove the climate for private sector investment; ♦T ribalgovernm entsprovide notice through their legislative processes th at defense to sover eign im m unity will be invoked only in cases where trust assets, or trust income not expressly waived, are involved; ♦Tribal governments link con struction of infrastructure to private sector business devel opment; ♦Tribal goverments encour age business planning activity meeting the goals of both finan cial profitably and social accept ability; ♦BIA economic development funds be used to support crea tion of private sector Indian business development centers to provide technical assistance to existing and potential Indian businesss; ♦Tribes explore ways to over come problem s of fractionated heirship land; ♦ BI A economic development funds be used to create inde pendent private sector Indian business development corpora tions th a t can sponsor, or fi nance, privately owned Indian business enterprises oh or near reservations; ♦The D avis-B acon A ct be am ended to exem pt firms doing construction work on reserva tions of tribal lands; ♦Give tribes the option of excluding N ational Labor Rela tions Act jurisdiction over col lective bargaining m atters that deter Indian preference in em ployment; ♦A llow trib es a “ rig h t-to - w ork” option under the Taft- Hartley Act; ♦Tribes focus training pro grams on private sector labor markets; ♦Thé president’s order creat ing the N ational Commission on Indian Business Development proyide for a government-wide Indian procurem ent target of $ 1 billion within five years, to be achieved through cumulative in crem ents of $200 million per year, starting in fiscal year 1985; ♦The B u y -In d ian A cts be am ended to extend to any types of federal procurement; ♦The Buy-Indian Act regula tions be revised to include as eligible any Indian business ei ther majority Indian-owned, with Indian m anagem ent control or with tw ô-thirds or more Indian employment; ology and landscape architec tu re , n ativ e p la n t societies, h isto ric /p rese rv a tio n o rg an i zations, resource management planners, public agencies and the general public with an inter est in Native American and tra ditional history of the area.” Look for additional confer ence inform ation in future edi tions.
