Historian, Indian rights advocate dies at age 90
(AP) - Alvin Josephy Jr.,
noted historian with strong
Northwest tics and an influen
tial advocate for Indian rights,
has died in Greenwich, Conn.
He was 90.
His last published book, a
memoir tilled "A Walk Toward
Oregon," came out in 2000.
"Ixwis and Clark Through In
dian F.ycs," an anthology he ed
ited, is scheduled for publication
next year.
Josephy, who died Sunday,
spent part of each year at a ranch
he owned near Joseph, in
Wallowa County, for more than

The PIDT, which plans the
sale and makes presentations to
interested tribal members, is
comprised of individuals from
the Natural Resources and For
estry technical staffs and com
mittees. The team includes a fish
biologist, forester, wildlife ccolo
gist, hydrologist, fuels manager,
forest engineer, silviculturist, ar
chcologist, range conservation
ist, soil scientist, writereditor,
representatives from three tribal
committees, and a representa
tive from Warm Springs Forest
Products Industries (WSFPI).
Comments from the scoping
meetings are used to develop a
planning document known as a
project assessment.
The assessment contains al
ternatives for implementing the
sale, a strategy to monitor the
sale after it has been imple
mented, and mitigation mea
sures to offset negative impacts.
After considering input from
the tribal public, the PIDT will
develop at least two action al

four decades. I le was a founder
of the Fishtrap writers' gather
ing at Wallowa lake.
Over his career he was a war
hero, reporter who inter
viewed Ixon Trotsky in Mexico,
a screenwriter in Hollywood
and an editor at Time magazine
and American Heritage but is
best-known for his books about
Indian culture and hiMory.
I le also wrote "The Civil War
in the West," a look at often
bypassed aspects of the conflict.
While an editor at Tune maga
zine in the 1950s, Josephy was
in Idaho and learned about
ternatives, each emphasizing a
balanced approach to resource
management.
Some tribal members would
like the PIDT to develop addi
tional alternatives and others
would like to do away with the
alternatives in favor of one ac
tion plan, so the Natural Re
sources Branch fashioned the
current strategy as a compro
mise. The team will present their
assessment and recommended
alternative to the Resource Man
agement Interdisciplinary Team
(RMIDT) this fall and they in
turn release the assessment for
public review.
Following a 30-day review,
RMIDT approves one of the
alternatives and attaches a deci
sion document to the project as
sessment, which is then for
warded to the BIA superinten
dent for concurrence. Tribal
member comments are accepted
throughout the process at the
main office of the Forestry
Branch.
The entire process and all
management activities related to
the forested area must adhere
to goals standards and best man
agement practices adopted un

the Nei Perce from the US.
Army in the 1870s. In a 2001
interview wiih The Orcgonian,
Josephy said the story changed
his life.
"I knew nothing about it
when I started," Josephy said. "I
just knew it was a great story,
the most dramatic story of the
early West. I spent 12 years
learning about it, and when I
started, there weren't too many
other people writing about In
dians. Books about Indians were
shelved in the natural history
section of the bookstore, along
der the Integrated Resources
Management Plan (1RMP) for
the Forested Area. The plan,
which strikes a balance between
resource utilization and protec
tion, is reviewed and updated
every five years.
The Wintcrgrccn 2007 Tim
ber Sale is being proposed be
cause it will generate revenue for
the Confederated Tribes. The
size and type of trees harvested
will determine the value of
stumpagc. These sales are de
signed to provide options for the
WSFPI mill by creating a pan
try of timber. Yearly harvests
typically meet the allowable an
nual cut established by Tribal
Council and provide jobs for
tribal loggers and mill workers.

The proposed treatments are

trees.
All proposed treatments are
reviewed and approved through
established polices before any
logging operations begin. The
forest silviculturist ensures that
treatments are viable and appro
priate to meet land management
objectives.
Proposed treatments east of
I lighway 26 are predominately
selection harvests. Selections are
generally an uneven-aged silvi
cultural tool that harvests and
maintains a diversity of post
logging settings by addressing all
size classes within a given tim
bered stand. Past selections of
ten targeted the larger trees for
harvest, while current proposed
selections would retain this large
tree component where appropri
ate. Other proposed treatments
along major roads would thin
out most of the smaller trees,
creating an environment capable
of preventing major losses from
a large-scale wildfire.
Land management continues
to evolve in an attempt to meet
the expectations and objectives
of an ever-changing society.
