resulting in threats to sovereignty,
lack of management leadership,
commitment, attendance,
communication, coordination with
law enforcement and courts, reduced
federal and state funds, personnel
turnover and self-interest.
These areas were identified as
important issues. The purpose of the
exercise was to think ahead about
problem areas and develop ways to
address them as a team. The exercise
was not to focus on problems, rather
on how each team could contribute
to overcoming them. "If we can focus
on what we want to see in the future,
we will not get stuck in the past
looking for blame. We can get stuck
there for a long time," said Estimo
Atencio. A process team has been
established and its members include
representatives from each branch.
Their job will be to oversee the
development of a sound and workable
process.
Each branch will assemble
planning teams to do the actual update
of each section of the existing
Comprehensive Plan.
Estimo-Atencio has conducted
orientations for all branches,
committees and several of the tribal
enterprises. The secretarytreasurer,
COO, general managers and directors
have also attended orientations.
Tribal Council has also been
presented two quarterly updates
concerning the Plan.
The Process Team will work
closely with the Land Use Planning
Committee, whose responsibilities
will include ensuring community
participation, developing the Land

developing. It is important for
program level staff to have a strong
role in the Plan. The type of leadership
that is important is giving positive
feedback for being on the team, letting
the team know they are contributors
to the long range goals of the Tribe,
letting them know the Comp. Plan is
important and that they (the team)
are important."
Team building participants
appeared to agree that the "team"
approach is the way to deal with
issues when updating the Comp. Plan.
"Turfism" is not acceptable and will
not benefit the Tribe. Planning for
the future must include the
community, organization and Tribal
Council.

a library report was given, then
nominations were taken for three two
year and four one-year terms on the
Johnson O'Malley committee.
Eligible nominees and voters are
parents or guardians of Indian
students in preschool through grade
twelve in local schools.
Eighteen nominations were made
and votes were cast for committee
seats. Andrea Kalama, Dclson
Suppah and Denys White were voted
in to serve a two year term beginning
January I, 1997 and ending

The volunteer parent committee
receives BIA funds annually in the
amount of approximately $100,000
to supplement educational services
to Indian students from preschool
through grade 12. Services provided
include summer school, summer
library, middle school tutor,
kindergarten teacher assistant, arts
in education, 4H camps, Geo Quiz

SMILE program. Student travel is
not funded by JOM funds as the
educational and cost benefit is
comparatively greaterthrough locally
available student activities.
The library project is a primary
focus of the committee in the
upcoming year. A grant from the US
Dept. of Education has funded a
community needs survey and steps
will be taken this year to continue the
project while supporting the efforts
of the Community Center Study Hall.
The JOM committee prepared and
submitted the grant on behalf of the
tribe and manages activities that w ill
eventually lead to a Warm Springs
Library. The project will proceed
based on affordability and gaining
long term financial support for
operations and personnel expenses.
The committee meets the second
Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the ECE
Center Conference room. Upcoming
meetings are on November 14, and
December 12. Additionally, the
committee meets with tribal
