Council adopts resolution
Tribal Council adopted Resolution
7410in 1987 to endorse an integrated
approach toward natural resources
management. This approach was
utilized as a central feature of the
forest plan and rangeland draft plan
that govern management of tribal
resources. Resolution 7410 was
important to assert the Confederated
Tribes' rights, interests and authority
to direct natural resources
management and to affirm
expectations for its sovereign
territories beginning with the
reservation. The Tribal Council
challenged public land managers
operating within the tribes' sovereign
territories to meet or exceed the
management standards established
for tribal land. Beyond the boundary
of the reservation, the integrated
resources management plans (IRMP)
set forth standards that offer guidance
for the management of 10 million
acres and beyond to other ancestral
lands.

800 generations, but within the span
of one generation the quality and
quantity of natural resources have
been greatly diminished.
Development and competition within
the tribes' ancestral territories have
severely restricted the availability of
and access to resources across broad
and complex geographic and political
landscapes. IRMP is designed to
support tribal values by establishing
a firm bridge between resource
disciplines, terminology's, and
agency jurisdictions, including
changes in circumstances,
technology and personnel. It is a
declaration of tribal policy direction,
goals, objectives and expected
deliverables to achieve a system of
home rule for the Confederated
Tribes permanent homeland and
sovereign territories. It is a tool to be

Do you feel a higher education is needed after a student completes high
school?
i ( . , si f
Nancy Medrano (17), "I'm a Jr.
here at the Madras High School and
yes I feel a higher education is needed
after students leave here because it
will get you better prepared for future
employment. It will help a person
gather more experience for what's to
come in the future. I recommend to
all students to stay in High School
and graduate and if you can, attend a
college of your choice."
Jered Moses (17), "Yes I defi
nitely do, and there's a lot of reasons
why I think it's so important. The
main reason would be college. If you
don't have a High School diploma,
they will not let you attend a college
any w here. Another main reason is to
get a well paying job and to accom
plish something for myself. Try to be
successful and try to do better then
w hat our parents had to go through.
Don't think of yourself as not being
important because everyone should
have goals in life."
" "mi. f
eral trespass complaints, and five
malicious mischief reports filed.
The police department is currently
looking to recover in the thefts, sev
eral television sets, several VCRfs, a
portable stereo, and two rifles.
As mentioned previously, the two
rifles being sought could be looked
at as collector items. Anyone with
information is encouraged to contact

Singing helps
During the holidays, families and
friends gather together to sing songs
of the seasn. For children, singing is
a fun and exciting way to learn new
words. Learning new words builds
literacy skills and language develop
ment for kids. So this Christmas,
share a song with your child!
Nikiya Courtney (17), "Yeah, I
feel a higher education is needed.
I'm not sure why, but I feel we do
need it. My goal after High School is
to Master as a Computer Specialist
or in Computer Graphic Arts. My
advise to the other students, is to do
more school work during and after
school or when you have the time."
Angela Dawalt (17), "Yeah, be
cause we need a higher education to
get a better paying job. If a person
chooses to become a doctor, they
most definetly need a higher educa
tion. You don't want to be left kick
ing it in Warm Springs or Madras
pumping gas or working at
Rainbow's. With a higher education
you can choose to go any place you
want and accomplish what ever you
want in life. My goal after I complete
High School, is to attend COCC for
a few years and work on my math and
reading skills. I would then like to
attend Southern Oregon University
to study Social Secience as my Ma
jor. My recommendations to other
students are to stay in school, do all
your school work, and be nice to
your teacher's because they could be
pretty cool."

Marcclla and Anna Brunoe.
Brunoe participates in Football,
Journalism and Pep band.
He is inspired by his teachers,
"they take the time to teach and set
examples for us. They help influence
our future," says Brunoe.
Brunoe says of his senior year,
"it's been great, I've taken more
difficult classes and tried things, like
football." He comments to remaining
lower classmen, "don't be afraid to
challenge yourselves. If you wait until
yoursenioryear, you've missed out."
His career plans for the future are
to take a few years to brush-up in a
community college, then go into a
computer engineering or journalism.
He sees himself ten years from now
working for a newspaper or with a
software company.

Andrea Sohappy (17), "Yes I do.
The goals a person has, are needed to
achieve a better paying job, a better
life, and more opportunities for when
we get older. It will help find your
place in life and also help you to stay
stable for a better one as we get older!
My goal is to become a Lawyer or be
a Creative Writer. I would like to
achieve something to do with law. If
not that, I would like to be able to
write a book someday with poems or
shot stories.
I recommend to other students to
stay in school, study hard, keep their
grades up, attend school regularly,
and graduate. I made a big mistake
and skipped school a lot. I have made
school more difficult for myself and
now I have to work harder to catch
up. I'm not going to let myself slide
and give up though, because I'm still
going to hang in here."
Sidney Minnick (18), "Yes, be
cause in order to get a good paying
job, they look at the things you have
achieved. If you have a Master's
degree rather then just a High School
diploma, you more likely be put ahead
in front of people that don't have a
secondary learning. My goal after I
complete High School, is to attend
college and achieve a Master's de
gree. My advise to other students is
to try and get your education before
having to much fun."

complete High School. j .
A higher education will be needed
if a student plans to seek employment

doors to open for you. Other students
can agree or disagree, everyone has
their own opinions. This is my own."
