The Warm Springs Tribal Coun
cil has learned through news re
ports, that on March 23, at least
one Warm Springs tribal member
was cited by the state police for
illegal fishing at Willamette Falls
on the Willamette River. Accord
ing to new reports, the tribal mem
ber hopes to use the citation to
have a state court in Oregon City
determine whether the Warm
Springs Tribe has treaty fishing
rights at Willamette Falls.
Issues concerning the scope and
ature of Warm Springs treaty
Drug-free workshop
starts April 4
The Warm Springs Prevention
Team will present "Preparing for
the Drug Free Years" program for
parents beginning Thursday, April
. 4.
The two-hour sessions will be
held each Thursday evening begin
ning April 4 and continue through
May 2 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the
Warm Springs Shaker Church.
For more information contact
Jodi Orr at 553-3272 at the Warm
Springs Police Department.
fishing rights are to be determined
according to the official policy of
the Warm Springs Tribal govern
ment as established by the Warm
Springs Tribal Council. The Coun
cil docs not approve of actions
taken by an individual tribal mem
ber that arc not consistent with
official tribal policy.
It is the position of the Warm
Springs Tribal Council that the
Tribe has treaty rights at Willamette
Falls. Many tribal elders, still liv
ing today, fished for salmon at Wil
lamette Falls and on other western
Oregon rivers when they were
youngsters. However, in recent
years, the Tribe's policy has been to
limit the exercise of tribal treaty
rights at Willamette Falls to the
taking of eels.
The Tribal Council, which has
the treaty-reserved right to regu
late the exercise of all treaty rights
by tribal members, has not autho
rized a subsistence salmon fishery
at Willamette Falls. The Tribal
Council, together with tribal law
enforcement authorities, are cur
rently reviewing this matter and
may seek to have the citation
referred to Warm Springs Tribal
Court for prosecution as a viola
tion of tribal law.

Clothing features beaded designs
Performance reviews begin
Customers walking into Hat
field's Department Stores will find
a new line of clothing on the store
racks from the Warm Springs Clo
thing Company, a division of
Warm Springs Apparel Industries.
The line currently includes a var
:ctv of treatments of the basic
sweatshirt incorporating Native
American beadwork. The combi
nation of apparel and Indian crafts
manship emerged when Marjorie
Kalama, the project coordinator
for tribal employment services,
and Bernyce Courtney, put their

heads together. They decided it
was time, according to Kalama, to
"contemporize traditional bead
work on sweatshirts."
The result impressed Hatfield's
Department Stores enough to or
der 200 to be sold in their Madras
and Redmond outlets. "The Indian
theme clothing line has potential,"
confirmed John Hatfield who
bought bicycle shorts from the sew
ing plant last year, "and the quality
of workmanship is excellent." The
sweatshirts will also be available in
other Central Oregon stores within
the next few months.
Future plans include an ex
panded line of clothing as well as
accessories. The gift shop at Bon
neville Dam recently purchased
beaded accessories that carry the
label "Traditional Treasures" and
are produced by Warm Springs
beadworkers. As Courtney states,
"Our people have spent centuries
crafting beautiful things, from
beadwork to baskets. These skills,
applied to sewn garments and
accessories, are a reflection of the
reservation and of those who live
and work here."
The legend of the embroidered
and beaded designs, many of which
have traditional and cultural sig
nificance, is printed on the clothing
tags and enhance the wearer's
understanding of the design.
In the spring, it is said, a young
man's fancy turns to love. That
may be, but at the Warm Springs
administration offices, attention
turns to the performance review
process.
ting a head start on the process. By
this time Ken Smith's staff and
most of the mid-managers and super
visors have gone over the 1 99 1 pro
cess and the minor changes which
have been implemented. Changes
which simplify and smooth the
process have been implemented.
Once the packet is received by a
supervisor, he or she may begin
doing performance reviews. The
deadline date to have all of them in
is June 30, 1991. All increases will
be effective July 1, 1991 with a few
exceptions.
The review form itself looks a
little different. There is one form
for supervisors to complete and
another for the employee. The forms
ask the same questions, the only
difference is the supervisor's copy
is the "signature" copy; meaning
that it is the only form which needs
to be signed by the employee, the
supervisor and the next levels of
management. The Personnel Action
is part of the review form alleviat
ing the necessity of completing
another form and more signatures.
Another change this year is that
the "steps" have been eliminated. A
salary can fall anywhere within the
range of your job grade without
having to match a step on a chart.
Remember, the compensation
philosophy here is "Pay-for-Per-formance."
This means pay in
creases depend on performance in
the job. Employees should be pre
pared when the opportunity pres
ents itself for job growth and per
sonal growth. Training and con
tinuing education help increase job
performance. These are factors in
determining pay increases.
