The Confederated Tribes
played host to Deschutes River
basin stakeholders April 13-14
during the 2004 State of the
Deschutes Conference at Kah-Nee-Ta
Resort. Natural Re

tions and discussions relating to
the Deschutes basin.
Over 100 representatives
from state and federal agencies,
private industry, conservation
groups and other interested par
ties joined the tribes for the
event. The conference provided
everyone with updates on a wide
variety of topics and offered a
forum for all of the stakehold
ers to express their opinions and
share their insights on natural
resources and socioeconomics
within the region.
Gordon Grant, hydrologist
with the US. Forest Service Pa
cific Northwest Research Sta
tion and author of "A Peculiar
River," spoke about the geologi
cal framework of the Deschutes
and the unique characteristics of
this important desert waterway.
The presentation led to discus
sion about the river's source, its
hydraulics and uses it supports.
There were panels that spoke
of conservation and restoration
projects being conducted within
the basin, with special attention
on efforts made since the last
State of the Deschutes Confer
ence in 2001.
Brunoe gave a presentation
on the many restoration projects
that have been implemented on
the reservation and the positive
results they've achieved. 1 le was
jointed on Wednesday morning
by representatives from the
Natural Resources Conserva

gation District, Upper
Deschutes Watershed Council,
Wasco Soil and Water Conser
vation District, Deschutes Re
sources Conservancy and by
Jim Myron, the governor's natu
ral resource policy advisor.

evening included presentations
on the Oregon Department of
Agriculture water quality man
agement plans, local conserva
tion initiatives, the influence of
state, federal and tribal policies,
and the Deschutes Sub-basin
