lived for a year at Yakama,
but has spent m ost o f her
adult life on the reservation.
She and her husband Nick
were ranchers. They raised
cows and horses. After her
husband’s passing, the work
was too m uch for one per
son, so she sold the ranch but
still has some horses.
Viola is the third eldest
tribal member. A t H onor Se
niors Day last week, she was
named the Warm Springs Se
nior o f the Year. She received
a Pendleton blanket from the
S en io r P ro g ra m , an d a

two in the Navy and one in
the Army.

and four great-great grand

tumani.
Viola served six terms on
th e C u ltu re an d H eritag e
Committee, and was active in

Madeline M clnturff. She is
an Agency Longhouse elder,
and keeps active by gather
ing roots and other traditional

where.

Research, testing and de

make the UAVs safe for use
in the general air space, an
aspect o f the energy that the
tribes are now part of.
“The flights on the reser
vation will be confined to
small operational areas, and
u n d er strict FAA require
m ents that focus on. safety
and privacy” Anspach added.
V entures and the tribes
were successful in the FAA
application test-site applica
tion in part because o f the
geographic diversity o f the
reservation. A nother ben
efit o f testing on the reser
vation is the relatively open
air space.
