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

heritage, we're also working hard
to create the chance for renewal,
opportunity and success for our
families and for future generations
in Oregon.
