To the People
To the People,
Much has been happening in
Tribal Council over the last month.
Legislative-wise, most everything
is on hold. Swimmer has slowed
the work on his initiatives to the
point where they need to be re
viewed by Congress nd the tribes.
The consultation issue is coming
to the forefront. So far, it doesn't
appear that the tribes agree with
Swimmer's way of consulting.
Swimmer decided the best way to
consult was to post his consulta
tion policy in the Federal Register,
a method that doesn't suit Indian
tribes. Swimmer thinks it best to
define consultation The tribes
didn't say they wanted it defined.
What they have said is, "If you
want to do something, take the
time to talk to us." We are still
thinking that Swimmer wants to
do things too fast. Even though
consultation has been defined, it's
not a manner that can be respected.
Swimmer is sending recommen
dations to Bureau area directors
who in turn send them to agency
superintendents. The superinten
dents are then instructed to present
the issues to tribal councils. The
councils are given only 30 days to
respond. He's not giving the Indian
people time to digest the impact of
those decisions and the time frame
is not reasonable. Another way
that Swimmer "consults" with tribes
is to have articles appear in maga
zines and other periodicals, expect
ing the tribes to pick up the news
that way.
The tribes feel the best way to
consult is to talk about the issues
up front, digest the impacts and
then have a reasonable time frame
in which to respond. Senator Dan
Inouye is exemplary of that method.
He has a fine way of consulting.

missably infringed on the exercise
of religion.
The jury ruled affirmatively on
the religion questions except those
counts that indicated the fish had
been caught or sold Sundays. Ex
tensive testimony presented during
the trial maintained that Yakima
customs and traditions and the
Washat religion historically set
Sundays as non-fishing days.
According to defense attorney
Thomas Keefe, Jr., there is ample
evidence there was a massive con
spiracy to violate the rights of
David Sohappy, Sr." and his other
clients. Keefe has moved for an
extradition hearing before his clients
are surrendered from tribal custody.
The Yakima tribe set into motion
the prosecution in August with a
resolution that said the fishermen
should have been tried in tribal
court, not federal court, on illegal
fishing charges stemming from a
state and federal sting operation.
