The agreement calls for the open ing o f the interpretive center that tells the W arm Springs tribal history at M ount Hood. The celebration recognizes Warm Springs and their tie to the land. Thè area is part o f the land the tribes ceded to the United States as part o f the Treaty o f 1855. Proceeds from a salmon bake at Mt.

Credit will do data entry for loans. Per capita checks will no longer be made through the tribe. Instead, they will go th ro u gh the O ffice o f the Special Trustee (OST). P er capita checks were originally coming from E m ery, Calif., near San F ran cisco, b u t are riow com ing fro m K an sas. So th e p er capita checks will not be com ing from tribal envelopes; in stead, they will be the govern m ent envelopes. We hope this inform ation helps. We have been receiv in g m any calls a b o u t p er capita checks. We had been p ro c e ssin g the p e r capita checks for about six m onths, because we wanted to ensure that our membership received per capita checks, rather than not at all.
