Leslie Bill, representing the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, was elected as chair man of the four-tribe commis sion for a one-year term, replac ing Robert Taylor (Nez Perce). “We all stand in memorial to those who have gone before us, just as they stood in memorial of those who had gone before them,” said Bill. “Today I stand where a long line of great tribal leaders have once stood and it brings me great honor to serve as the chairman of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.” Bill has served on the Com mission since he was elected to the Warm Spring Tribe’s off-res ervation Fish and Wildlife Com mittee in 2004.

The pur pose: to renew their authority in fisheries management. Out of that effort, the tribes created a coordinating and tech nical organization to support their joint and individual exer cise of sovereign authority. Based as it was on a time-tested tradition, the new organization, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, became a valuable means for organizaed intertribal representation in re gional planning, policy, and de cision-making. As its founders intended, the organization’s assignment re mains the same today: unity of action in service of the salmon.
