Top stories of 2001
Continued from Pagt 1
' The mill now employs
about 148 people, whereas be-'
fore there were 210 workers.
To help some of the laid-off
workers, the Tribal Council
made available $250,000 for a
community improvement pro
gram. ; 1
Work funded through this
program involved painting the
Simnasho Longhouse, the wa
ter plant, the floor of the gym
at the Community Wellness
Center, among other projects.
WSFPI is facing ; other
changes in the future. In 2001,
the Tribal Council set the an
nual allowable cut for the cur
rent year at 37.6 million board
feet iof timber. This is a fairly
significant reduction from the
52 million board feet of 2001.
The WSFPI mill in one year
processes 48 million board feet
of timber, so the 37.6 million
board feet allowable-cut figure
means WSFPI may have to
look off the reservation for
logs. The 2002 allowable-cut
figure is reasonable for long
term forestry management, of
ficials at Natural Resources say.
In the past, they say, the allow
able cut was well above the sus
tainable level.
People at WSFPI now face
the challenge of living with the
lower cut level.
3. Changes in leadership
During 2001, there were
many changes in leadership.
During the course of the
year, two new members - Ron
Suppah and Carol Wcwa -joined
the Tribal Council.
Suppah was elected in the
Council election of April 2001.
Wewa joined the Council after
the position held by Joe Moses
came open, after Moses was
sworn in as Chief of the
Seekseequa District.
: Wewa had come in third in
the April election, so she was
next in line to fill the vacancy. '
The swearing in of Moses as
Paiute Chief was not without
controversy.
Some Paiute tribal members
said that Moses had not as
sumed the chieftainship posi
tion through the accustomed
manner.
Moses and his supporters
disagreed, saying that the late
Chief Vernon Henry had
named Moses sub-chief. This
means, Moses said, that he be
came chief with the passing ,of .
the late Chief Henry, who died
in a car accident in July.
People critical of Moses' ac
tion say that the issue of suc
cession to the chieftainship
will be re-visited during 2002.
