T ri C o n fr7 ffU ft glrtee mm mw .' it ' vl .Vl jor as long as our people can remember, this has been a season for reflection and renewal. A time for one generation to remind the next that each of us has a responsibility to celebrate the Creator's gifts, through spirituality and good deeds. Like other leaders of the Warm Springs Tribes, Chief Delvis Heath knows the history of our people. For more than 10,000 years, we lived in harmony with the land along the Columbia River. With the Treaty of 1855, we were moved to a high desert reservation. Our home became the land that lies east of the Cascades and snowcapped Mt. Jefferson to the Deschutes River, with the Metolius River and Lake Billy Chinook forming the southern boundary. Wherever we call home, the lessons of our past guide our actions. We strive to be wise stewards of the land and the water that give us life. Today, life on our reservation is harsh. More than 40 of our people are unemployed. While startling, this statistic illustrates the urgency we place on creating jobs and generating revenue to fund basic services for our elders and our youth. Chief Delvis and other tribal leaders know that they have a responsibility to help our members achieve economic self-sufficiency and to reduce our reliance on taxpayer- funded, public assistance programs. Our heritage is to share what resources we have with Oregonians in V 1 H-'l&l IkJUl II l I II 1 1UI Ulll3. Yes, the times are tougn tor an Oregonians. But we must all do our best with the time we're given.
