Council revises code
Resolution 8043 was ratified by
Tribal Council June 19, 1990. The
resolution concerns criminal juris
diction over non-member Indians,
section 200.050 of the Warm Springs
Tribal Code. The resolution reads
as follows:
"Whereas, the Tribal Council
believes that in order to ensure the
public's safety, preserve peace and
order, and protect tribal resources,
persons who are not subject to the
criminal jurisdiction of the Warm
Springs Tribal Court who violate
the provisions of the Warm Springs
Tribal Code should be subject to a
civil penalty; and,
"Whereas, the Tribal Council
has been advised that it is necessary
to amend Chapter 200 (Courts) of
the Warm Springs Tribal Code in
order to subject such persons to
civil penalties; now, therefore,
"Be it resolved, by the Tribal
Council of the Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs Reservation of
Oregon, pursuant to Article V,
Section 1(1) of the Constitution,
that .... Chapter 200 of the Warm
Springs Tribal Code is hereby
approved and enacted."
The amended section 200.050
reads as follows:
"Persons Not Subject to the
Criminal Jurisdiction of the Warm
Springs Tribal Court." Any person
not subject to the criminal jurisdic
tion of the Warm Springs Tribal
Court who violates any provision
of the Warm Springs Tribal Code
may, unless otherwise provided in
this code, be subject to a civil
penalty in the Tribal Court for a
civil infraction. Unless otherwise
provided in this Case, such civil
penalty shall not exceed the sum of
$500 for each such infraction.
Equipment and other personal
property used in connection with
such infraction may be seized and
held as security for such person's
appearance before the Tribal Court
and may be subject to sale or other
disposition by the Tribe in the
event that such person fails to pay
the amount of any civil penalty imposed
by the court in accordance with the
procedures contained in WSTC
Chapter 200. The procedure gov
erning the adjudication of such
civil infraction shall be those set
out in WSTC Chapter 201 (Civil
Procedure). The Tribal Council
hereby specifically finds that such
civil penalties are reasonably neces
sary and are related to the expense
of governmental administration
necessary in maintaining law and
order and public safety on the
Reservation and in managing, pro
tecting and developing the natural
resources on the Reservation. It is
the legislative intent of the Tribal
Council that such violations of the
provisions of the Warm Springs
Tribal Code by persons not subject
to the criminal jurisdiction of the
Warm Springs Tribal Court be
considered civil in nature rather
than criminal."

Reader to Indian students through
out North America is a priority.

a scholastic magazine in Nairobi,
Kenya interested in exchanging
articles with our publication," says
Caverly.
our younger family members.
This is well and good for all these
young relations to have and to
hold, understand what all these
names mean to you, take very good
care of these Indian names for the
rest of your lives, understand who
had these names, the "Old Elders"
and our old ancestors, respect
these names, respect those people
who had these names, and above
all fully understand why you were
each picked to receive these old
Indian names know where these
names came from.
And to all of you who are select
ing each name for some young
member of your families, under
stand who the old elders were, who
they were really related to and in
what way, if both old men folks,
old women folks, know which side
of that family's "Old ancestors," or
"Old Elders" side these names
came from whether it was on the
husbands side of the family, or the
wives side, of "his," or "hers" side
of the family these Indian names
originated from.
Remember one thing, Those old
Elders old Ancestors also had old
Ancestors of their own.
Here after, always remember all
your own young children who are
much more closely related to you
in the first place, remember also
anybody else who is more closely
related to you before you go ahead
and give these Indian names of the
Stacona clan to any body else not
really closely related to yourself.
You people have had gatherings
to talk over these old elders and old
ancestors names and who you in
tend to give those names to but I
never hear one word about those
family meetings of any kind until
those names have already given to
someone supposedly close to the
old Stacona name until everything
is "all over with."
I am very happy for those
youngsters who did receive an
Indian name, happy for each one,
but there are also all those very
young relations who never once
came forward to tell me who they
are, who their parents are and who
their grandparents are.
They may sometimes see me
somewhere, some place, but they
won't stop to say at least "Hello,
grandpa," I am "so-and-so."
So how am I to know who these
people are and what they are to me,
relation-wise.
I am an old elder of the Stacona
clan, I am still yet very much alive,
but it seems as though I am already
"Gone."
I am alive now, nobody comes to
say hello uncle or hello grandpa, is
there something I or we can do for
you?
So there is only one time when
"people, meaning those of The Old
Stacona clan, will gather, and am
very sorry to say. When I am laying
down soundly asleep."
I would very much be a happy
old elder if somebody would only
come into my home while I am yet
alive.
Just remember that all those old
elders ancestors too. I am related
to those old people just as much as
anybody else.
