President Georee Bush has is
sued an Indian policy statement
reaffirming a government-to-government
relationship between In
dian tribes and the Federal Gov
ernment. "I take great pride in acknowl
edging and reaffirming the exist
ence and durability of our unique
government-to-government relation
ship," he said.
In his June 14 statement, the
President said the January 24,
1983, Reagan-Bush Administra
tion policy statement "is the cor
nerstone of the Bush-Quayle Ad
ministration's policy of fostering
tribal self-government and self-determination."

President Rush also named his

currently fills that post at the

And the President said the con

excessive dependency on the Fed
eral Government must now be
relegated once and for all, to the
history books.
"Today we move forward to

understanding and trust, a rela

The President said in his state
ment that over the years, the rela
tionship between Indian tribes has
flourished, grown, and evolved
into a vibrant partnership in which
over 500 tribal governments stand
shoulder to shoulder with the other
governmental units that form our
Republic.
President Bush said it was not
possible for him or his small staff
to deal directly with the multiplic

ented by each of the 510 tribal enti

President Bush met April 27 at
the White House with 16 tribal
leaders and told them he would
soon issue his policy statement on
Indians and name a senior staff
member to be his personal liaison
with tribes.
Here is the full text of the state

On January 24, 1983, the

U.S. Circuit
Court rules in
OSHA case
The Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals, in a decision released ear
lier this month, ruled that the
Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) may be enforced at
Warm Springs Forest Products
Industries.
In earlier news reports, tribal
attorney Howard Arnett speculated
that the Tribe may consider appeal
ing the decision because it is con
trary to what the 10th Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled in a case involving
the Navajo Tribe and their mill.
However, according to Tribal
Council Chairman Zane Jackson,
the Council "decided yesterday
(June 24) not to appeal the deci
sion. We're going to see what else
we can do.. .perhaps adopt some
formal safety regulations" that
would apply reservation-wide.
WSFPI General Manager Bob
Macv stated that the mill has "not
resisted following safety recom
mendations but, with the advice of
the attorneys, we have resisted pay
ing the fine." Macy added that
WSFPI and OSHA have always
had a "cooperative understanding
that we would correct unsafe condi
tions." OSHA conducted no inspections
at WSFPI between 1988 and 1990
until the death of WS FPI employee
Les Gann. In 1988, OSHA cited
the mill for health and safety viola
tions and levied fines totaling
$2,500. However, in July 1990 when
Gann died at the mill OSHA again
visited the site. "Fines and citations
were issued," said tribal attorney
Jim Noteboom. "OSHA also
pointed out what they called high
danger areas," said Macy, adding
that in-house inspections occur on
a regular basis and that safety regu
lations are currently intact.
The decision, said Noteboom,
"does not say that the tribe violated
anything. The decision states that
OSHA has jurisdiction to come on
the reservation."
