Hope seen
A unique experiment that could
help rebuild salmon and steelhead
runs throughout the Northwest is
beginning in Central Washington's
Yakima Valley. The experiment
involves using a new hatchery
complex, called the Yakima Pro
duction Project, to replenish the
fish runs that spawn in the natural
environment. In the past, hatch
eries have been used principally to
augment harvest, not rebuild na
tive runs on a sustained basis.
At a meeting this week (August
8) in Portland, Oregon, the North
west Power Planning Council gave
the Bonneville Power Administra
tion, the Yakima Indian Nation
and the Washington departments
of fisheries and wildlife permission
to proceed to the final design phase
Ancient dugout
A Seattle man who took home a
dugout canoe he reeled in while
fishing says he didn't know it was a
centuries-old artifact.
Gene Fairbanks says he'll gladly
give the canoe to an archeologist
who plans to preserve it for the
Muckleshoot Tribe.
Fairbanks was fishing in Angle
Lake in the city of Sea-Tac when he
snagged the canoe. He thought, at
first, it was a log.
He took the 14-foot canoe home
and had it in his back yard when he
saw a television report about fears

two years.
The project will be a laboratory
for testing a technique, called
"supplementation, "to rebuild runs
in the Yakima Valley. With sup
plementation, hatchery-produced
fish are released into streams with
naturally-produced fish. If success
ful, this technique may be the
Northwest's best hope for rebuild
ing its salmon and steelhead runs.
Supplementation has been used to

Amateur archeologist William
Walker had discovered the canoe
under 16-fect of water last summer
while diving. He planned to re
move the canoe later this week
using a six-person dive team.
The canoe is believed to have
been submerged for 100 to 500
years.

Museum notes funding;
additional monies needed
Less than two years ago, the
concept of a tribal museum at
Warm Springs was a long way
from reality. No funds had been
committed and many people ques
tioned whether sufficient financial
support could be found to build the
facility. In October. 1988. the tribal
membership voted in a referendum
to allocate $2.3 million to support
the project. Since that time, a
number of private, federal and
state agencies have contributed the
total amount very close to the
campaign goal of $4.5 million.
In spite ol the good news that the
Middle Oregon Indian Historical
Society -has raised nearly $4.5 mil
lion dollars, it is still not enough.
The pledge of $300,000 from the
M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust
requires that a total of $4.5 million
be raised from all sources by
December 31, 1990 before their
grant becomes official. The effort

questionnaires
About two weeks ago, all tribal
memberjesidents of the reserva
tion should have received in the
mail a questionnaire asking their
opinions on a variety of subjects
pertaining to television service at
Warm Springs. To date, only an
approximate 1 5 percent of the ques
tionnaires have been returned.
It is very important that the true
feelings and attitudes of the reser
vation tribal member residents are
known prior to initiation of any
modernization and expansion pro
ject. Your help is needed! If you
have not yet done so. please fill out
the questionnaire immediately and
return it in the stamped, addressed
envelope that was enclosed with
each questionnaire. The deadline
for returns has been extended until
August 31. 1990 and the drawing
will be conducted on September
If. for some reason, you did not
receive a questionnaire, please call
the Public Utilities Department at
553-3601 to obtain one.

is still lorty-seven thousand dollars
short of that mark. The $500,000
grant from the National Endow
ment for the Humanities is also a
challenge grant requiring a thrcc-to-one
match of funds.
In addition, the state lottery re
gional strategy funds may be re
duced by 30 percent. Cuts must be
made in the states appropriation
due to budget shortfalls caused by
dwindling lottery ticket sales. The
tribal museum is one of five pro
jects to receive regional strategy
monies.
On Monday, August 13. 1990.
the MOIHS Board presented the
tribal council with a status report.
The council recommended that the
board seek construction bids for
the project to determine the exact
amount needed to complete the
building as planned. Preliminary
cost estimates suggest that more
money may be needed.
