Spring Chinook forcast dismal; tribal fishery threatened ECE activities scheduled

Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Fish Commission
A record low number of spring
Chinook salmon will be entering the
Columbia River, according to Co
lumbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Com
mission and tribal biologists. The
project 1995 run is expected to be
about 70,000 at the river mouth.
Of those, only 1 2,000 are expected
to pass Bonneville Dam. From that
number, 3,480 are calculated to be
from the Snake River and 1,278 of
those are wild.
There is no formula in the Colum
bia River Fish Management Plan
(CRFMP) to allocate such low num
bers of fish. The plan calls for a tribal
harvest rate of five percent on runs
between 25,000 and 50,000.
That would mean the four tribes
would have a mere 600 fish to allo
cate for ceremonial and subsistence
fishing. That allocation would then
be divided between platform fishing
and ceremonial and subsistence
gillnet fishing.
In recent years the platform fish
ing averaged 1 .86 percent of the run.
With a 12,000 run size, that would
mean 233 fish for platforms and 377
left for the gillnet ceremonial and
subsistence fishing.
Tribal fishers are allowed to use
gillnets during ceremonial and sub
sistence fishing through authoriza
tion by their fish and wildlife com
mittees and by the Longhouse they
are providing fish for.
"In such cases like US v Oregon,
the tribes separated the status of fish
ing commercial from ceremonial
from subsistence. More and more as
we influence ourselves with the
commercial justification for the treaty
right to fish, we're going against
what we stood for all these years and
that is the reserved right to take that
fish," said Jerry Meninick, Chair
man of the Yakama Nation.
the dwindling numbers offish will
be the justification for tribes to con
tinue fishing, according to Meninick.
"In a way, it's a blessing that we still
have that reserved right. We know
we can fish for ceremonial and sub
sistence purposes and that's what is
important to us," he said.
Under the CRFMP, the four tribes
are entitled to 10,000 spring and
summer chinook for ceremonial and
subsistence purposes. The majority
of the 9,400 remaining spring Chi
nook will have to come from hatch
eries on the Willamette and Cowlitz
rivers. Other salmon species within
the Columbia River basin may also
be used.
"The prediction for this year's
return of upriver 12,000 spring Chi
nook will have a devastating impact
on tribal culture," said Nathan Jim
from the Warm Springs on-reserva-tion
Fish and Wildlife committee.
"The tribes see further delay, de
bate and indecision. The end result is
that the fish are still not
rebuilding. ...Our tribal history has
shown that treaty Indian harvest re
strictions alone will not rebuild natu
ral runs. Yet fisheries have been
targeted for restrictions while in all
other areas there has been very little
change to benefit salmon. These
outrageous conditions continue
while salmon runs decline," he said.
"Where's the management leader
ship?" he asked.
Last year, the states had a difficult
time reaching the 10,000 fish quota
to the tribes. With this year's run
even smaller, the tribes could expect
a similar situation.

Simnasho School-continued from page 3
then goes to the Warm Springs
Elementary to pick up lunch and the
next morning breakfast, and fuels up
the bus. He prepares lunch which he
and Nancy Tailfeathers serves to the
children.
Many have probably wondered
how the classroom is taught, children
being grades kindergarten through
fourth grade. Well, the classroom is
taught all together and they study
subjects in units. For instance they
are currently studying the solar
system and space, they do their math,
science, writing all in one theme,
which is space. The children benefit
from it by learning at all levels. If
they don't remember something at
their grade level they can pick it up
quickly by listening to what's being
taught to the lower grades. If they are
advanced enough to move a step
ahead, they can. Learning is more
relaxed and flexible for the children.
They have completed units on Bears,
and Johnny Appleseed since last year.
Simnasho students go on field trips
and have guest speakers at their
school, just like Warm Springs
Elementary School. Smokey Bear
comes out to visit, and so does
Fireman Bob. They come to Warm
Springs Elementary once a month for
the awards assembly.
Their field trips for the last year
were to the Fish Hatchery, where
they saw the growth cycle of the wild
salmon. They've gone to Kah-Nee-Ta
and learned water safety, how to
save somebody and to save
themselves. They have gone to HeHe
Butte, and Stevenson's Pond for their
science field trips.
Other projects they have worked
on and completed are: stockings,
potpourri, pilgrim hats and vests, lots
of art and cooking special recipes.
They intend to do projects in Indian
history, legends and things, during
the month of February.
They also have one computer, that
gets much use. Students "fight" over
it, who gets more computer time.
They would like more computer
programs, as mentioned in their list
of what they would like.
The school does all that Warm
Springs Elementary School does in
their activities, all as one little happy
family. They encourage anyone to go
out to the school and visit, and maybe
have lunch with them.

I will use one of the following
communications tips every day for
the next ten (10) days.
Signature
Communication Tips for Parents
and Kids
"You never listen to me" is a
complaint heard as often from
children as parents. Good
communication helps children and
parents to develop confidence,
feelings of self-worth, and good
relationships with others. Try these
tips.
Teach children to listen...gently
touch a child before you talk...say
their name.
Speak n a quiet oicc.whisper
sometimes so children have to listen.
They like this.
Look a child in the eyes so you
can tell when they understand. Bend
or sit down. Become the child's size.
Practice listening and talking.
Talk with your family about what
you see on TV, hear on the radio or
see at the park or store. (Talk with
your children about school and their
friends).
Respect children and use a
courteous tone of voice. If we talk to
our children as we would our friends,
our youngsters may be more likely to
seek us out as confidants.
Catch children and teens being
good. Praise them for cooperating
with you or their siblings, for doing
those little things that are so easy to
take for granted.
Use door openers that invite
children to say more about an incident
or their feelings. "I see" "Oh" "Tell
me more" "No kidding" "Mmm
Hmm" "Really" "Say that again. I
want to be sure I understand you."
Praise builds a child's confidence
and reinforces communication.
Unkind words tear children down
and teach them that they just aren't
good enough.
Children are never too old to be
told they are loved. Saying "I love
you" is important. Writing it in a note
provides the child with a reminder
that he can hold on to.
, Give your undivided attention
when yourchildren talk to you. Don't
read, watch TV, fall asleep or make
yourself busy with other tasks.
Set aside special times for each
of yourchildren.
Move closer physically to your
children, hold them.
Share your positive feelings,
often. ,
Don't say "You shouldn't feel,
that way." It makes your children,
believe their feelings are not
important.
Through your daily words and,
actions, let them know each is very-special.
