Federal justice rules in Indian Country
A non-member
appears before
a federal
Magistrate on
drug and
endangerment
charges
A late
night traffic
stop on
the
evening
of June 7
has made
tribal
history.
The
normally
routine
action by Warm Springs patrol
officers led to the arrest of a non
Indian man on drug-related and
child endangerment charges. The
43-year-old man, an Indian Health
Service x-ray technician, is the
first to appear before a U.S.
Magistrate judge on the Warm
Springs Reservation. If found
guilty, the defendant could face
substantial fines and spending time
in federal prison.
The defendant, Gary Stedder,
brought from the Warm Springs
Detention Center in handcuffs after
spending the night in the tribal jail,
made his initial appearance before
Magistrate Dennis Hubel on June
9. Stedder was subsequently
charged with possession of a
controlled substance and
endangering the welfare of a
minor. Stedder was represented by
a court-appointed federal defender.

Mosman served as chief

Steve McNally, Sue Ryan, Delson

due to Warren R. Clements, Director
of the Public Information Branch of
the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs who oversees the operation
of KWSO. The 19th Warm Springs
Tribal Council had a great deal to do
with our success since they helped
support the radio station and allowed
us to serve our community."

Stedder was released from
custody after Judge Hubel read the
conditions of his release.
Conditions included reporting to
pretrial services; Stedder must
refrain from
using alcohol
and drugs; he
must submit to
UA testing and
pay a percentage
of the testing fee;
he must undergo
drug and alcohol
counseling and
pay a percentage
of the counseling
fee; he must
have no contact
with the
witnesses, nor
must he have any
contact with
minors except if
required in his
work, and he
must have no
new law
violations,
whether they be
state, federal or
tribal. Hubel also
"took under
advisement" the
matter of
excluding
Stedder from the
Reservation.
Dennis Hubel, an attorney with the Bend law firm
that represents the Confederated Tribes, was
appointed federal Magistrate Judge and will hear
most Magistrate cases on the Reservation.

Community Center Conference
Room One, on Saturday, June 24
from 1 1 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday,
June 25 from 1 2 noon to 3 p.m. More
than 15 individuals participated in
the first annual donor drive during
1994 Pi-Ume-Sha activities.
The NMDP Registry is a comput
erized databank of tissue-typed po
tential volunteer donors nationwide.
Currently 85 Native Americans are
searching the NMDP Registry for an
unrelated matching marrow donor
who may provide their only hope for
a cure from diseases such as leuke
mia and aplastic anemia.
Because the unique tissue charac
teristics of an individual's bone mar
row are inherited in the same say one
inherits skin, eye and hair color, a
Native American patient's best
chance of finding a perfect match is
with another Native American. Of
the more than 1 .6 million potential
donors currently listed on the Regis
try, fewer than 18,000 are Native
American. Of the nearly 14,000 po
tential donors from Oregon, fewer
than 200 are Native American.
To join the NMDP Registry, po

The Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Warm Springs Agency proposed to
construct a highway project, using
Federal Highway trust funds on the
Warm Springs Reservation, OR. This
road will serve to improve access to
the Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge and Indian
Head Gaming Center.
Based on the Project Assessment
for Kah-Nee-Ta Road Extension and
public comments gathered during the
period of June 5 through June 15,
1995 we have determined that the
proposed action does not pose a sig

of blood for Human Leukocyte Anti
gen (HLA) tissue typing. Donors'
tissue type results are added to the
databank and compared with each
patient searching the registry.
Since 1987, more than 3,380 pa
tients have received NMDP-facili-tated
marrow transplants. Only 14
Native American patients have found
unrelated matches through the
NMDP. As the number of potential
Native American marrow donors
listed on the Registry increases, so
will the odds of survival for Native
American patients in need.
Joining the Registry does not
guarantee that a person will be a
match and be asked to donate mar
row for a patient needing a trans
plant. If a preliminary match is found,
further tests are performed to ensure
an exact tissue type match. If the
donor and recipient prove compat
ible, and the donor consents, his or
her marrow will be drawn in a minor
surgical procedure. To ensure confi
dentiality, donors and recipients are
told little about each other.
Potential marrow donors must be
between 18 and 55 years of age, and
be able to pass a thorough physical
examination.
