New plan envisions future use of the campus area
Before any new
development could
happen, the water
lines and other
infrastructure need
to be replaced.

U nder the shade trees at the
campus park, J ’Dean Kalama
and family set up their fry
bread and Indian taco stand.
They stay open until later
in the afternoon, or—on busy
days— until they run out of
fry bread dough.
J ’D ean estim ates that
about 60 customers a day
from the highway stop at her
stand.
She advertises with two
small signs placed a mile up
the highway in each direction.
“It can be very interesting
on some days,” she says.
“We’ve had people stop who
are from Scodand, Thailand,
Japan.”
The customers are drawn
by the opportunity to try au
thentic fry bread and Indian
tacos, and to meet with tribal
members,
J ’Dean’s business is a great
example of the potential for
economic and business devel
opment at the campus.
Development plan
Tribal Council is exploring
all avenues of potential rev
enue and employment, and
the campus is. one area of
interest.
Tribal planner Lonny
Macy has been working with
engineers on; a development
plan for the campus. As the

plan summary states:
“The campus site’s prox
imity to Highway 26 presents
and excellent retail opportu
nity and source of economic
stimulus.”
Development projects at
the campus would serve visi
tors, while also serving the
local community.
The recent development
plan, called the “Warm
Springs Town Center Prop
erty Summary,” lists several
examples of possible proj ects
for the area:
A. grocery- store, barber
shop, Subway or local deli,
Chinese restaurant, hand
made goods shop, plant nurs
ery, bird store, outdoor hik
ing supply shop, fishing and
h u n tin g
supply
shop,
laundromat, take-out pizza,
etc.
Macy explained that the
grocery store idea envisions
a store about the size of the
one serving Terrrebonne.
All of these ideas would
happen some time in the fu
ture. Meanwhile, there are
immediate steps that need to
be taken in order to bring
about some development.
For instance, chief opera
tions officer Urbana Ross is
working with the BIA on the
removal of several old build
ings from around the campus.
In all, she said, there are*
19 structures to be removed.*
“And we want to proceed with;
five o f them immediately,”!
she said.
Ross, Macy and others
tribal officials have met with|
the BIA about the fate of the!
old infrastructure at the cam-j
pus, Before any new devel-S
opm ent could happen, the’
water lines and other infra-s
structure need to be replaced j
Some of the lines date back,
to the 1930s.
The recent development
plan includes cost estimates,
for removal of the old infra-j
structure, replacement of old:
lines, and then the develop-!
ment of new infrastructure.'
Removal has a cost esti-_
mate of $1.5 million; and re
placement, $1.3 million. The
installation of new infrastruc
ture has an estimated cost o f
$8.9 million.
The next task in the de
velopment process is work-,
ing with the BIA on thesej
in fra s tru c tu re im p ro v e-,
ments.
