KNIGIITIJHRARY IW UNIVERSITY OFORI-GON liUGIM-, OR 97403 Tribal Council priorities ( This is the 3rd of a 4 part series examining Tribal Council Priorities) The 21st Tribal Council began working on goals and priorities within two months of taking office. The 19th Tribal Council was the first Council to take this approach, and it has become a good way to gauge progress and evaluate departmental budgets. These priorities were developed during the budget presentations and deliberations last year, and were finalized in October and adopted in January, 1999. In the last issue of the Spilyay Tymoo, Priorities 1, 2, and 3 were examined. This issue we will visit Priorities 4, 5, and 6. Priority number 4 encompasses our sovereign status, legislative and political arenas. The Tribal Council is the governing body for the Confederated Tribes and is charged with preserving and strengthening the sovereign status of the Confederated Tribes, protecting treaty rights and promoting the welfare of tribal members. Political goals and objectives should be identified and put on paper, both short term and long term. Strategies should then be adopted to pursue and attain these objectives. Such strategies and objectives should be considered, for all levels of political interaction, local, county, regional, state and national. Tribal Council identified 3 desired results: ( 1) Develop and implement a positive legislative strategy with Flu shot schedule . . Flu season is fast approaching. Influenza (flu) is a highly contagious viral illness which can last from two to seven days. Flu germs are spread through the air by droplets from the respiratory tract of infected persons by coughing, sneezing and talking and also by direct contact. Symp toms include fever, headache, dry cough and sore, achy muscles. Don't be caught off guard! A flu shot is needed every year because the strains of influenza are different each year. The "flu" season in the U.S. is from November to March or April. Protection develops 1-2 weeks after the shot and may last up to a year. The flu shot is especially recom mended for all persons 65 and older, persons of any age with chronic medi cal conditions such as asthma and diabetes, women who will be more than 3 months pregnant during the flu season and household members of persons in high risk groups.

(2) Secure the nullification of the 1865 Huntington "treaty". (3) Develop and maintain productive working relationships with local, state and federal officials and representatives. To assist the Tribal Council with their efforts during the 70th state legislative assembly, a state legislative adviser was hired. We also have a congressional advisor in Washington D.C. Both advisers regularly update the Tribal Council on legislative matters that impact Tribal interests. Priority number 5 relates to Culture and Traditions. Tribal Council feels it is important to preserve, strengthen and transfer to the younger generations the culture, traditions and values of the Confederated Tribes. The Council encourages leaders, families and community groups to take leadership in cultural education. Tribal Council recognizes the importance of a strong individual identity to the development of healthy families and communities in this process. Two desired results were characterized by the Tribal Council. (1) Recruit and train a dozen native language speakers and teachers for each native language, encouraging and enabling participants to achieve conversational fluency and the ability to read and write within 3 years. (2) Document oral histories and traditions and develop curriculum for the community that provides an Continued on page 2 to begin Oct. 18 .'II 1 okrtte at paumeni win uc giving uu wuu various locations on me reservation.
