To the Editor,
The tribal operating budget for 1986, has been
challenged by a petition circulated by two tribal
members. This is the first time in the history of
our reservation that a referendum has been called
on ah operating budget. The first
time the people have made a
stand to be heard on their con­
cern^. There are several reasons
why the budget has been opposed
and needs some clarification.
S ome of the main concerns are:
there are too many managers in
the organization, drawing too
much money; The Tribal Council
makes decisions apd approves
things w jthout consulting the
people; Tribal members unem­
ployed; the Justice Service Cen­
ter; the new jail and its working
staff, they treat us like kids or
criminals, never in a protective
manner. W hat itall boils down to
is the people feel they don’t have
any input in making up the yearly budget^. All their gripes are
legitimate and true.

It was a long night for the Tribal Councilmembers on the night
of November 20, at the General Council meeting where the meet­
ing was turned over to the petitioners. The Tribal Council
members sat and listened to all the tribal members who expressed
their interests or uncertainly as to various aspects of the budget:
with an attitude of solicitous concern.
Negotiations could be a key word, which is something they are
trying to do, exchange ideas with the intention of changing rela­
tionships and this conference was for agreement and understand­
ing. Negotiating with your boss for a raise is one thing; negotiating
with a peer over details of some projects is quite another where an '

able to communicate with everyone concerned with the tribal
affairs is very important.
Let’s take a look at things at present and the past. At a general
meeting just recently a member spoke of how it Was in the past
where just one person ran the whole thing. Our people should all
have jobs. The Tribes employ a great number of people in this
county, especially at the mill, both members and non members. It
does appear that a lot of our dollars are leaving the reservation one
way? There are individuals who Wouldn’t care less what would
happen to the reservatidn if all our resources were depleted. I t ’s
true, in the past there was one man who ran the whole show and
saw that things were carried out on a daily basis. But, you must
realize how much the organization has grown since. There is just
too much responsibility for one man to handle and keep good
health. This is a tough old world we five in and it would be
interesting to sfee that one man who could run the whole show
today without delegating various duties. We need people in those
positions to have a smooth operating organization.
