Ju ly 24-, 2013 Spilyay T ym o o , W arm Springs, O regon Page 6 Ceded Lands: At the Espy Awards (Continued from page 1) B ut the C onfederated Tribes are co-managers with the right to regulate tribal m em ber hunting on the Ceded Lands, Brunoe said. The tribes work with state regulators in assessing the is sues facing certain Ceded Lands hunting units, in order to come up with the appro priate regulation, Brunoe said. By the Treaty of 1855 the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes ceded ownership claim to approximately 10 million acres of aboriginal lands, now called the Ceded Lands. The tribes, however, maintain the right to hunt, fish and gather on the Ceded Lands. At the Council meeting last week elder Bruce Jim, of the Fish and Wildlife Com tribe-state co-management mittee, said the tribes at times should be aggressive in assert ing management authority on the Ceded Lands. The tribes are fortunate to have elders who still recall many areas o f the Ceded Lands that were and remain usual and accustomed fishing, hunting and gathering areas. Exercising management helps to keep these off-reservation rights strong, Jim said. “The tribes are not out of line in being aggressive with these rights,” he said. There was some discus sion at Council of the “treaty o f 1865,” a strange docu ment that purported to extin guish tribal rights off the res ervation and confine the members to the reservation.
