Community Counseling Calendar
Prevention
There is a battle of two
wolves inside us all. One is evil:
it is anger, jealousy, greed, re-
sentment, lies, inferiority and ego.
The other is good: it is joy,
peace, love, hope, humility, kind-
ness, empathy and truth.
The wolf that wins? The one
you feed.

Estate planning free to members
Adam Mentzer is in Warm
Springs this summer, helping
tribal members with drafting
wills, powers of attorney, and
other estate planning services.
This service is free to mem-
bers.
Adam is a law school stu-
dent at Willamette University
College of Law.
His Warm Springs office
this summer is at the Com-
munity Action Team building
on campus, at 1136 Paiute
Ave. Office hours are from
8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday
through Wednesday. To
make an appointment, call
541-553-3148.
The estate planning service
is a program of the Institute
for Indian Estate Planning
and Probate at Seattle Uni-
versity School of Law.
The institute has sponsored
the program for the past few
years in Warm Springs. Dur-
ing that time, many tribal
members have used the ser-
vice.
Adam is working with a
supervising attorney to pro-
vide the estate planning ser-
vices to tribal members. He
can take appointments and
meet with members until Au-
gust 7.
Importance of planning
Having a will is recom-
mended for anyone over 18.
This is especially recom-
mended for people who have
ownership interest in land: If
you die without a will, the
American Indian Probate
Reform Act will determine
who will receive your trust
land.
Services available this sum-
mer include writing a new will,
or changing an existing one.
The new or changed will
would be drafted so as to
comply with tribal, state and
federal law.
You need a will if:
· You are over 18;
· You have, or may ac-
quire, trust land, non-trust
land, or personal property;
· You have children or
step-children under 18;
· You want to leave prop-
erty to someone who is not
in your immediate, blood
family;
· You want to leave income
from an interest to a non-In-
dian spouse.
· You want to stop further
fractionation of your land
If you die without a will,
the American Indian Pro-
bate Reform Act will deter-
mine who will receive your
trust land, but with a will
you have many more options.
Resolution of Tribal Council
Eel harvest
at Willamette
Whereas the Treaty with
the Tribes and Bands of
Middle Oregon on June 25,
1855 secured to the Confed-
erated Tribes of War m
Springs Reservation of Or-
egon the right to take fish at
all usual and accustomed sta-
tions in common with citizens
of the United States, and
Willamette Falls of the
Willamette River at Oregon
City is one such treaty-re-
ser ved “usual and accus-
tomed” fishing station; and,
Whereas, for not less than
time immemorial War m
Springs tribal members have
harvested eels, also known as
lamprey, at Willamette Falls,
and at other “usual and ac-
customed” fishing stations to
use for ceremonial, subsis-
tence and other purposes;
and,
Whereas it is important as
an exercise of sovereignty
and to meet the conservation
needs for the resource that
the Tribes actively manage the
eel fishery at Willamette Falls;
and,
Whereas section II J. of
the 2008-2017 U.S. v. Oregon
Management Agreement, ex-
ecuted on May 9, 2008 by the
Warm Springs Tribal Council
Chairman, and on May 20,
2008 by the director of the
Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife, which is an Or-
der of the Federal District
Court of Oregon in case Civil
No. 68-513-KI, requires a
process that includes discus-
sions between the state of
Oregon and Warm Springs
and other party tribes each
year to establish lamprey take
(harvest) levels at Willamette
Falls each year; and,
Whereas those take- or
harvest-levels of lamprey at
Willamette Falls are managed
by and through regulations
establishing the time, place
and manner of lamprey har-
vest; and,
Whereas the state of Or-
egon did not enter into the
process as required by the
2008-2017 U.S . v. Or egon
Management Agreement to
work with Warm Springs and
other party tribes to set the
annual take regulations, and
unilaterally declared what the
2014 Willamette Falls take
regulations would be in a let-
ter dated May 27, 2014, and
moreover said letter is repre-
sented as a “permit” issued
by Oregon for lamprey har-
vest at Willamette Falls; and,
Whereas the Tribe’s lam-
prey harvest at Willamette
Falls is pursuant to its June
25, 1855 Treaty with the
United States, and no license,
permit or authorization of
any type by the state of Or-
egon is necessary for the
Tribe’s harvest of lamprey at
Willamette Falls, and there-
fore, the Tribe does not ac-
knowledge or accept the pur-
ported permit offered by the
state of Oregon; and,
Whereas notwithstanding
the state of Oregon’s failure
to abide by the process re-
quired by the Management
Agreement, and the Tribe’s
rejection of the offered state
of Oregon “permit,” the
Tribe desires to maintain a
status quo with respect to
Willamette Falls lamprey take
regulations to provide for a
conser vative harvest, and
also to facilitate the resolu-
tion of lamprey harvest issues
at Willamette Falls at a man-
ager-to-manager level in the
appropriate U.S. v. Oregon pro-
cess rather than through liti-
gation, the Tribe will regulate
its Treaty lamprey harvest as
it has in prior years; now,
therefore,
Be it resolved by the
Twenty-Sixth Tribal Council
pursuant to Article V, section
1(l) and (u) of the Constitu-
tion and By-Laws and pursu-
ant to Warm Springs Tribal
Code section 340.300 that
the 2015 eel fishery regula-
tions hereby approved,
adopted and enacted by the
Tribal Council of the Con-
federated Tribes of Warm
Springs Reservation of Or-
egon:
1. Tribal members wishing
to take eels for ceremonial
and subsistence purposes
must carry tribal enrollment
cards to fish under claim of
treaty rights. Enrollment
cards must be in possession
while fishing.
2. Harvest is allowed from
June 1 through July 31.
3. Harvest is limited to the
east side of Willamette Falls
by hand or with hand pow-
ered tools. (The open area is
noted on a map attached to
the resolution).
4. Harvest is open on Fri-
day, Saturday, Sunday and
Monday of each week.
5. Fishing hours are sun-
rise to sunset.
6. This is a subsistence
fishery as defined by Tribal
Code 340.100.
7. The Branch of Natural
Resources personnel shall
monitor and enforce the fish-
ery with regard to Warm
Springs members participat-
ing in the 2015 eel season at
Willamette Falls.
8. Harvesters will allow
Warm Springs BNR person-
nel to creel lamprey catch.
9. BNR will offer creel
data collected to ODFW at
the end of the harvest sea-
son.
