Subdivsion plan at Seekseequa
The Resource Management Inter
disciplinary Team has released a draft
project assessment for the Seekseequa
Subdivision. The document was pre
pared by the Project Interdisciplinary
Team to provide options for the de
velopment of a 127-acre subdivision
site in the southeast portion of the res
ervation. The project assessment contains sec
tions that describe the purpose and need
for action, alternatives for implemen
tation, tables to compare the alterna
tives, the Project Interdisciplinary
Team's recommended alternative, maps
of the project area, and mitigation to
offset potential impacts.
The tribal public has been involved
in the planning process for the
Seekseequa Subdivision over the
course of several months. Tribal Coun
cil approved the site in 1993 and the
area falls within boundaries for rural
housing outline in IRMP.
A scoping meeting was held on May
24 at the Forestry Office and another
was held June 10 at Agency Longhouse
to solicit tribal member input on the
proposed project. Comments received
during the scoping process are used to
identify issues that are relevant to the
plan. A summary of the comments is
on file in the Natural Resources ad
ministration office.
For more information or copies of
the documents contact Kip Burdick at
553-3221. Tribal members have 30
days to comment on the proposed plan.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A na
tional American Indian group plans to
put poll watchers at voting precinct's
with a high percentage of American
Indian voters in Oregon and 12 other
states on Nov. 2.
The Native Vote 2004: Election
Protection Project is an initiative to
ensure that every Indian voter who is
eligible to vote does, and that each vote
is counted fairly, said national coordi
nator I leather Dawn Thompson.
"This has never been done in In
dian Country before with the excep
tion of South Dakota. So we're pretty
excited about it," said Thompson, who
is also president of the Native Ameri
can Bar Association in Washington,
D.C
Other states included in the project
are Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Michi
gan, Minnesota, Montana, North Da
kota, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Washington and Wisconsin.
Thompson said problems in South
Dakota illustrate the importance of
voter's access and education.
During one South Dakota election,
partisan poll watchers stood in front
of heavily Indian precincts and told
voters to go home if they didn't have
an ID, Thompson said.
But Thompson said South Dakota
law allows people who have no ID to
vote by signing an affidavit attesting to
their identity.
