Budget
(Continued from page 1)
“Right now, we’re at the clos­
est that we’ve ever been to try­
ing to get [the school],” Calica
said. “In December, the school
administration is going to the
school board to put up an $8
million bond election for their
half of the school, with the un­
derstanding and expectation that
Warm Springs would contribute
a light amount.”
“Why?” Anita Jackson asked.
“When you go over and look at
the schools in Madras, they’re
completely redone. Our school
is d u ct-tap ed to geth er, in
shambles, it’s terrible! Nobody
will take on the school board.”
Leona Ike agreed. “I don’t
think we can afford to pitch in
for a new school,” she said. “It’s
going to have to go on the back
burner. The school district
should be paying for that cost,
not the tribe. They get millions
to educate our children. Our
attention should be filing a suit
against 509-J for not giving our
kids the same environmental
standards that the shiapus are
getting.”
Anita Jackson was also wor­
ried about legal aid on the res­
ervation and travel expenses.
“How many people went to
NCAI from Warm Springs?”
she asked. “I’ve seen one report.
Nobody else has come up and
said this is what happened. We
don’t have m oney to fool
around like that. We hear Coun­
cil is over their travel budget
again. When is this going to
stop?”
“The first layoffs should be
non-tribal members,” Daisy Ike
said. “Then the people who
aren’t enrolled here. Tribal
members should not be cut first.
That should go for the mill, Kah-
Nee-Ta, tribal enterprises. If
you look on paper, Tribal Council
has no budget cuts. They keep
traveling, along with the commit­
tees...” Daisy also shared her
feelings on the court system.
“I set up the legal aid depart­
ment, and it’s running the way
it’s supposed to run,” she said.
“Now you want to cut it?”
“Nobody is following the
policy for employment,” Marcia
Soliz said. “There is a code.”
The employees, she said, are in
one of four categories:
Tribal members, married into
the tribe, other Indian, and non-
Indian. When hiring, the tribes
follow that order of preference.
“And when downsizing,” she
said, “the order is reversed.”
next time we need to elect a
chief. That will be an even more
modern age. And who knows
how much culture w e’ll hold
onto then?”
“I still don’t agree,” Emma
Smith said. “I could challenge
it. It says, if you’re convicted
of a major crime in the letter to
the Wasco people. You may not
be convicted, maybe you didn’t
get c a u g h t...b u t everyb ody
knows your background.”
“I like the idea of maintain­
ing our cultural identity,” Dereke
Tasympt said. “Without it, we
would be just like any other
American. I don’t like the vot­
ing process, save that for our
elected positions on tribal coun­
cil. Let’s select a chief accord­
ing to our teachings. That’s how
it has always gone.”
“I was 19 or 20 when the last
ch ie f was selected ,” A gnes
Lumpmouth said. “We drove
people in to vote. We need to
take our time with this process,
because it is important to be
careful. It’s been over a year,
but we should keep in mind we’re
considering a lifetime position.”
Charles Jackson then called
for a show of hands vote. “How
many here would like to go for­
ward with an election process?”
Twenty present raised their
hands.
It was asked how m any
would like to follow another
process. Sixteen people raised
their hands.
“My guess is that there
should be another meeting be­
fore the end of this year,” Jack-
son said. “Eventually, die people
will need to make a selection.
The process has to be legitimate,
and agreed upon by the Wasco
people and district members.
Like it or not, we need to keep
working to find a consensus.”

“I disagree with Vital Stats
being a part of the process,”
G erald D anzuka said. “If
someone wants to write in a can-
didate, let them ! We w ent
through this process, you can’t
step on me. If you’re going to
vote, let the people vote for who
they w ant. You can ’t lim it
them.”
Jo Anne Smith agreed. ‘You
can’t take away the right to pri­
vacy in a vote, or the choice to
write in a candidate.”
“I think we should stop beat­
ing around the bush,” T erry
Courtney Sr. said. “We should
have another meeting and say
those ages fifty to twenty, you
have the mic. We will listen to
you.”
“I’ve heard a lot of talk that
we need to have some kind of
documentation,” Cassie Katchia
said. “It would be helpful the
