T h e c e le b ra tio n c o m
memorates an agreement be
tw een Mt. H o o d Ski Bowl
ow ner K irk H anna and the
tribes and the Culture and
Heritage D epartm ent. The
agreement calls for the open
ing o f the interpretive center
that tells the W arm Springs

The celebration recognizes

the Treaty o f 1855.

Utilities and Housing. 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.
Sincerely,
