Facing a sharp increase in AIDS
cases among Native Americans,
health workers fear that the disease
may be as devastating to today's na
tive populations as small pox was
centuries ago.
Ron Rowell, head of the National
Native American AIDS Prevention
Center in Oakland, said the number
of AIDS cases reported among Indi
ans has jumped from just 56 in 1984
to an estimated 1,202 in 1995.
Rowell said the impact of those
numbers is often buried by the awe
some overall toll of the disease. Last
year there were 476,899 reported
AIDS cases nationwide.
"Although the numbers might
seem small," Rowell said, "they are
significant if you consider many In
dian communities are rather small
and tight-knit and if you realize that
the history between Indians and non
Indians is a sad and long one of death
from infectious disease in which en
tire tribes were wiped out."
Health care workers are particu
larly alarmed about the number of
AIDS cases among the Native Ameri
can women. A program to test preg
nant Indian women shows the rate of
AIDS ranges from four to eight times
higher than rural women in general.
Nationwide studies show that
women make up about 15 percent of
American AIDS cases while white
women represent about 6 percent of
the nation's AIDS cases.
Joint tribal effort will save salmon Continued from page 1
trend is unmistakable. If treaty-reserved
fishing is to persist as an economic activity,
restoration of upriver salmon runs must be
gin, and now.
A casual analysis shows that if salmon
recovery efforts had begun in the 1970s
even getting halfway to the goal of four
million salmon above Bonneville Dam
salmon harvests could have meant as much as
$25 million over the last IS years.
Creating reliable runs (not perfectly stable
runs, because the runs fluctuate cyclically)
would allow the four tribes to implement the
marketing plan they completed in 1992. That
plan called for tribes to set up fish buying
operations, processing companies and
wholesale and retail enterprises. If tribes were
able to reach salmon production goals and
tribal harvest goals of 560,OoOO, pursuing the
full marketing plan could mean as much as
$98 million annually.
At the same time, the fact that salmon
restoration itself is an economic opportunity
must not be overlooked. Since 1978, the four
tribes and CRITFC have received
$40,338,742 for salmon restoration activities
from the Bonneville Power Administration
(BPA). Since 12978, BPA has distributed
over $303 million for salmon restoration.
Over 25 percent of that amount has gone to
the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
(ODFW). The ODFW, Idaho Department of
Fish and Game and the National Marine Fish
eries Service have each received more fund
ing that the four tribes and CRITFC combined.
Tribes must increase their share of this fund
and funds like it. By actively pursuing, among
other thing, watershed restoration activities
. called for in the draft tribal salmon plan,
tribes can increase their share of funding. In
the process, not only do tribal members and
tribal governments benefit, but salmon do as
well.
The biological philosophy guiding this
plan is simply stated: put the fish back in the
rivers and protect the fish where they live.
The tribal plan goal of four million salmon
above Bonneville Dam is ambitious, but nqt
unrealistic if immediate actions are taken,
The draft final plan does not call for restoring
the Columbia basin to the pristine conditions
non-Indians found when they arrived Iesi
between 21 and 22 females, on average, re
turned to repeat the process. Currently, fewer
than one female survives from the original
brood on average. ,, .
The tribal plan sets the goal of returning
five to six females from each nest on average.
And it sets out three options for achieving
that goal. The options include some level of
than 200 years ago. Under this plan, tribes, . drawdown and supplementation
ins and salmon can co-exist, ifj' The first option calls for
non-inaians ana saimon can co-exist. ' tj
To illustrate this point, compare salmon
survival at each stage of the life cycle under
historical conditions, current conditions and '
under the tribal plan. To make this compari
son, the Snake River spring chinook were
used as an example because, as an endan-,'
gered species, its has been extensively stud-
ied. ' '("
Historically, from 4,300 eggs the num
ber of eggs from a single Snake River spring
chinook female, about 43 salmon return tt
spawn. That means out of every salmon next
drawing down

Families can save on insurance premiums
Is it possible for an Oregon family
to save as much as $4,000 a year on
its auto insurance bill? Yes, accord
ing to a new consumer guide now
available from the Oregon Insurance
Division, if you simply shop around.
In the confusing world of auto
insurance, many consumers don't
have answers to all the questions,
such as what's the difference be
tween comprehensive and collision
coverage. But most consumers would
like to know how they can save money
on their insurance premiums.
The Insurance Division's Con
sumer Guide to Auto Insurance in
Oregon answers the questions and
can help consumers save money, it
provides price comparisons among
the state's largest auto insurance
companies, tips to help consumers
shop for a policy that best meets their
needs, a glossary of often-confusing
insurance terms, and a checklist to
help consumers lower their costs.
And the 20-page publication is free
of charge.
The guide includes price estimates
from 42 insurance companies doing
business in Oregon. These compa
nies make up over 90 percent of the
personal automobile insurance mar
ket in the state. For each company,
rates are listed for20cities throughout
Oregon. This information is listed in
five easy-to-compare charts, each
representing a typical consumer.
For example, the charts show that
a family of five can pay as much as
$2,8920- every six months in insure
to vehicles and three drivers. Or the
same family can pay as little as $495
for the same insurance coverage.
Simply by shopping around, this
family could save $4,650 per year on
auto insurance.
Oregon Insurance Commissioner
Kerry Barnett said, "This guide dem
onstrates the value of shopping for
auto insurance. The family in our
example could set up a nice college
fund for the children just form the
savings."
When shopping for an insurance
police, the Insurance Division ad
vises consumers to look beyond price
alone and consider the quality of
service provided by the company,
the claims process, policy provisions
and coverage limits. '';

Guide to Auto Insurance in Oregon,

Registration process explained
the Snake River and John Day Dam on the
Columbia to the river level that existed be
fore the dams were built. To achieve the goal
of between five and six spawning females on
average from each nest would require taking
six percent of the returning adults and raising
their offspring in a hatchery before releasing
those offspring back into their ancestral
streams.
The scenario presented in the second op
tion includes drawing down John Day reser
voir to the level of the spillway and drawing
down both Ice Harbor and Lower Monumen
tal pools to natural river level. Under Option
Two, the rate of supplementation is four
percent.
Option Three relies entirely on draw
down. That alternative calls for natural river
level drawdown at all four lower Snake River
reservoirs and John Day reservoir.
In the absence of drawdown, particularly
in the short-term, the draft plan recommends
that federal river operators provide more water
to help flush young salmon to the estuary and
spill more water to move juveniles past the
dams without sending them through the electricity-generating
turbines. Spill is currently
the safest, most effective means of getting
salmon past the huge hydroprojects.
The draft tribal plan calls for an end to
transporting juvenile salmon. Transportation,
preferred by the federal agencies over the
objections of the tribes and states, has been
tests for 25 years and has repeatedly failed
that test. Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit
contains several other recommendations for
altering the hydrosystem, all with the intent
of keeping salmon in the rivers and making
the rivers safer for the salmon.
After salmon reach the ocean, the impact
of ocean fisheries varies from stock to stock.
For those Columbia basin stocks that are
harvested, the draft tribal plan recommends
that ocean fisheries be managed by same way
in-river fisheries are managed: Alaska and
Canada must join the tribes and the states in
regulating their fisheries according to con
sistent, abundance-based principles.
In addition to recommendations that per
tain to mainstem passage and ocean phases of
the salmon life cycle, the tribal plan calls for
protecting what high quality riparian habitat
remains in salmon producing watersheds of
the Columbia basin; terminating activities
that degrade spawning and rearing habitat so
that nature can begin to heal itself; and begin
actively restoring some damaged habitat. In
most watersheds, patches of good habitat are
isolated from each other. If salmon are to
recover, good habitat areas need to be
reconnected. The four treaty tribes have de
veloped detailed action plans to protect and
restore salmon populations in habitat in 23
subbasins or watersheds above Bonneville
Dam. This watershed approach, representing
the best knowledge available on the use of
habitat protection in each watershed, empha
sizes cooperative, on-the-ground solutions at
the local level. To implement the measures,
which each tribes has already approved, $38
million is being sought for a 1 996-97 Water
shed Restoration fund. This proposal, de
veloped with tribal staffs, includes $5 mil
lion for immediate action projects to be iden
tified by each tribe and $27 million for 1997
restoration activities in eight priority water
sheds. These subbasin activities can help salmon
but natural salmon production will fail unless
other problems, such as the mainstem pas
sage problems already mentions, are ad
dressed. Additionally, the draft tribal plan recom
mends institutional changes in salmon man
agement. The failure of the existing pro
cesses is not so much a failure of structure as
it is a failure of responsible agencies to act.
The draft plan calls for, in most instances,
using existing institutions and processes, es
pecially those processes the tribes have de
veloped with other sovereigns, such as the
Columbia River Fish Management Plan, the
Northwest Power Planning Council's Fish
and Wildlife Program , the Pacific Salmon
Treaty and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission hearings.
The plan recommends dispute resolution
processes similar to those used in the CRFMP
and FERC processes. To encourage action
rather than more studies, recommendations
are based on adaptive management which is
based on taking significant action in the face
of uncertainty, monitoring the results and
taking significant action as necessary. To get
stalled project funding underway and to es-.
tablish funding priorities, the draft tribal plan '
recommends that salmon managers establish -a
consensus process and find another entity
to administer B PA salmon funds. Other insti-'
tutional changes called for include transfer of
some hatcheries to tribal control, meaning ,
the transfer of control of Dworshak, Kooskia
and Clearwater Anadromous hatcheries to
the Nez Perce Tribe.
Combining traditional knowledge and
respect for the Creator's gifts with current !
scientific and technical methods and infor
mation, the tribal plan provides the tribes and
the region with clear direction for restora
tion: put the fish back in the rivers and take
actions to protect and restore the rivers.
' For too long, the costs imposed by the ;
region's failure to protect and restore the fish
have been borne by the tribes in economic,
social and spiritual terms. This is not what
was bargained for in the treaties. The esti
mated cost of this plan, between $ 190 million
and $325 million, is comparable to the cost of '
carrying out the NPPC Fish and Wildlife ;
Program and the NMFS Snake River Recov-.
ery Plan. I !
The tribes working together can lead the ;
region in restoring anadromous fish resources. )
However, the time to act is now. The fish ;
cannot wait.
