Co& aid objectives of the Warm Springs tribal fisheries program received the attention of Northwest Power Planning Council
member Norma Paulus during a visit to the reservation September 20 and 21,
Paulus learns about tribal fisheries program
"We have an important part to
play in the total game," Warm
Springs Tribal Council member
Delbert Frank stated during a
meeting September 20-21 with
Northwest Power Planning Coun
cil Oregon representative Norma
Paulus. Frank emphasized that both
fisheries and wildlife resources are
"so important to all of us."
Tribal administrators were given
the opportunity to discuss the tri
bal fisheries management program
with Paulus after she accepted an
invitation to visit the Warm Springs
reservation. Accompanying Paulus
were Power Planning Council ad
visors, fisheries biologist John
Marsh and attorney John Volkman.
Tribal Attorney Howard Arnett
pointed out that the Tribe "views
the Power Planning Council as a
major way to restore fish runs."
The Tribe supported the plan for
the Council's creation when initially
introduced in Congress and par
Austin convicted on ARPA violation
On September 13, 1988, a U.S.
District Court in Eugene convicted
Bradley Owen Austin on one fel
ony count of violation of the
Archaeological Resources Protec
tion Act (AR PA). Austin was found
guilty of destruction of the Luna
Lava Archaeological Site on the
Deschutes National Forest. Sen
tencing is scheduled for November
14, 1988.
This conviction comes one vear
after special agents from the U.S.
Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management and deputies from
the Deschutes County Sheriffs
department confiscated over 2,800
artifacts along with other evidence
form Austin's travel trailer, which
was parked on Deschutes National
Forest land.
Archaeologists from both the U.S.
Forest Service and the Bureau of
Land Management worked with
law enforcement agents to corre

ticularly favored inclusion of the
fish and wildlife programs.
The Northwest Power Planning
Council, to which Paulus was ap
pointed by Governor Neil Gold
schmidt, is an interstate agency
involving Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana. Created by
Congress in 1980, the agency has
three charges: I; To plan the long
range electricity needs of the North
west with Bonneville Power Ad
ministration implementing the plan;
2. To develop a program working
with fisheries agencies, tribes and
hydroelectric developers to protect
and restore fish and wildlife dam
aged by hydroelectric development.
3. To get the public involved.
"We're all in this together,"

relations officer Rudy Clements.
The Tribe and state and federal
agencies must learn to understand
one another. The common goal is
"to preserve the resource."

of artifacts including ground stone
mortars, pestles and chipped stone
tools.
A field search revealed at least 10
significant archaeological sites that
were destroyed through illegal
excavation. Based on these find
ings, a federal grand jury indicted
Austin three times on February 10.
March 10andJune9, 1988. Austin
was indicted on 30 counts of steal
ing and damaging government
property and violating the ARPA.
Austin's trial on September 13
covered only stipulated facts agreed
upon by both the prosecution and
defense attorneys and did not
impanel a jury. District Judge
Malcolm Marsh, presiding, agreed
with all the facts presented in the
case and drew special attention to
the fact that subsurface excavation
had occurred and that the majority
of artifacts recovered did indeed
come from beneath the surface.
The conviction was based on
facts involving only the Luna Lava
Archaeological Site. However.

"We've taken the lead," says
Frank. When the fishery is in
danger the Tribe is not hesitant to
close fishing to tribal members if
necessary. "The Deschutes basin is
successful because of how we man
aged it," Frank adds.
Paulus asked questions regarding
tribal sovereignty, hatchery opera
tion and the Tribe's interest in
maintaining a wild fish run of
spring chinook and summer steel
head. She was able to visit some
sites important in the fisheries
program.
The Warm Springs National
Fish Hatchery exemplified the
Tribe's efforts in preserving and
maintaining wild fish runs. The
hatchery "is unique" in that, says
Arnett.

ated by the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife and funded by
Portland General Electric, is a suc

evidence gathered on the 30 charges
involving all 10 sites will be consi
dered in setting Austin's sentence.
Prosecutor for the case. U.S.
Attorney Jeff Kent, stated that,
"the ARPA statute is aimed at
those who systematically excavate
and destroy cultural resource sites
for profit.""In doing so "Kent con
tinued, "they enter into a black
market profiteering venture that
results in depriving future genera
tions of the opportunity to study
and learn from the past." Any type
of surface collecting or excavating
for artifacts is illegal on public
lands.
"This is not only a crime against
a resource, but it is a crime against
the American people," said Norm
Arseneault, Deschutes National
Forest Supervisor. "These resour
ces have been here for thousands of
years, the only evidence of a people
long gone. What took thousands of
years to accumulate and holds so
many clues to the past, can be des
troyed in a matter of minutes by
someone interested onlv in profit.

Paulus was given a view of a
BPA-funded enhancement project
on Beaver Creek.
Sherar's Falls provided her with
a chance to see an historical Indian
fishery and the fall chinook count
ing trap.
White River was part of the tour
as it is the center ol a controversy
revolving around introduction of
salmon and steelhead above the
falls. The Tribe is in favor of the
plan.
Paulus also received information
on other reservation stream resto
ration and enhancement projects
during a presentation by Warm
Springs fisheries technician Louie
Pitt, Jr. Those projects include
Strawberrry Falls bypass. Potter's
Pond and Shitike Creek enhance
mentareas, the Warm Springs River
migrant trap. Mill Creek fish screens
and stream inventory projects. Pitt
stressed, "We're very proud of our
resources... We do what we can."
Once artifacts are removed care
lessly, the information they hold in
store about the past is lost forever.
Everyone loses."
Census workers begin

Workers for the U.S. Census

address lists recently within
selected counties in Oregon. "The
purpose of the address listing pro
