Management Input
Several planning teams have
begun updating information from the
1983 Comprehensive Plan. They plan
to start community meetings as early
as July or August to get tribal member
input.
The first step in the process will
identify changes since the 1983 plan
was adopted and will include drafts
of updated goals for the membership
to review. In the second step of the
process, planning teams will build
action plans to address the goals.
Planning teams include
Education, Culture and Heritage;
Health and Recreation; Housing;
Infrastructure and Facilities;
Transportation and Land Use; Tribal
Government; Public Safety; Natural
Resources (IRMP) and Economic
Development.
"There was a feeling of tribal
member ownership of the Plan in the
early "80s" stated COO Mike
Clements," . . . and we want to
maintain that with the people. At the
same time, we want to make the Plan
more accountable and action
oriented by connecting it with annual
operating plans and measurement
tools," he added. More information
on the process can be obtained in the
Planning Department.
Stedder.
Stedder had until June 16 to con
sent to a trial, either with or without
a jury, before the Magistrate or be
fore a US District judge. If he opts for
a trial before the US District Judge,
Stedder will go to trial on August 7 or
8. If he decides to be tried before the
Magistrate, his trial will be held July
21 in Warm Springs.
Historically, non-Indians who
'" commit misdemeanor crimes against
Indians on the Reservation are ex
empt from criminal prosecution in
Oregon state courts, as was proven in
a Jefferson County District Court
opinion, handed down by Judge
George Neilson, last year (State of
Oregon v. Francisco Sanchez).
Additionally, the United States
has limited its prosecution of cases
arising on the Reservation to major
crimes and has had no
forum, prior to pas
sage of tribal Resolu
tion 9066, to try mis
demeanor cases.
These cases occur
when the offender is a
non-Indian, the victim
is an Indian and the
offense occurred on
an Indian reservation.
The result of the
Sanchez opinion has
been to vest sole and
exclusive criminal
jurisdiction over non-
Indian misdemeanor
defendants to the
United States through the Magistrate
Court.
Warm Springs Tribal Court
Judges, Warm Springs Public Safety
Branch members, US Attorney for
the District of Oregon and the US
District Court for the District of Or
egon recommended that the federal
court establish a Magistrate court
calendar for one to two days per
month on the Warm Springs Reser
vation to handle non-Indian misde
meanor prosecutions. The Magistrate
would adjudicate only the non-Indian
misdemeanor cases that are not
otherwise handled civilly by the
Warm Springs Tribal Court. Public
Safety Branch manager Anita Jack
son explained this does not "take
away from tribal court" nor does it
encroach on tribal sovereignty, but
rather, "adds another layer of protec
tion for the people here."
The Warm Springs Magistrate
Court will be the first in the United
Stated to provide a trial forum to
litigate non-Indian misdemeanor
prosecutions and will allow the
United States to exercise its trust
responsibility without diminishing
Prosecution of
non-Indian
misdemeanor
cases in the
Magistrate court
"adds another
layer of protection
for Warm Springs
people.
the sovereign powers of the Warm
Springs tribe.
The cost of federal court pro
ceedings will be covered by the US
Attorney's office. When necessary,
legal representation for non-Indian
misdemeanor defendants will be
provided either by the Federal
Defender's Office or by an attorney
appointed and paid for by the federal
court. If the Warm Springs Police
department takes a non-Indian de
fendant into custody, then the police
department will be responsible for
transporting the defendant to the first
Magistrate court proceeding. If the
defendant is further detained by the
Magistrate, then the US Marshal's
office will take custody of the indi
vidual. The District Court clerk's office
will provide sound recording equip
ment and supplies
as well as provide
funds to hire and
train a qualified
tribal member to
act as a part-time
bailiff and in-court
deputy clerk for
Magistrate court
proceedings. The
clerk's office will
also secure funds to
purchase comput
ers, courtroom re
cording and other
audio visual sup
port equipment that
can be utilized by
the Tribal Court whenever the Mag
istrate court is not in session.
The Tribe will not be asked to
assist in enforcing sentences or su
pervision conditions imposed by the
federal court other than routine co
operative efforts now in effect.
It is anticipated that the Magis
trate court would convene one to
two days per month at Warm Springs
to handle such cases. However, this
number could increase in light of
increasing drug enforcement efforts
and the influx of visitors to the gam
ing facility. Two additional drug
related cases are scheduled to be
heard Friday, July 14
In their recommendation to Tribal
Council, proponents stated that
prosecution of misdemeanor drug
cases in federal Magistrate court
would greatly assist in the Tribe's
efforts in reducing the number of
drug offenses on the Reservation.
Such prosecutions in the Warm
Springs Magistrate court will send a
strong message to the community
that the Tribe is serious about deal
ing with non-Indian offenders. A
federal conviction will follow the
offender wherever he or she goes.
