Agency District candidates
Toni Made
I would like to take a
moment to introduce
myself. My name is Toni
(Smith) Made. I am en-
rolled with the Confeder-
ated Tribes of War m
Springs (Wasco/Warm
Springs/Grand Ronde
descent).
My late parents are
Roscoe and Rose Mary
Smith. My grandparents
are the late Alfred Smith
Sr., and Lucinda (Scott)
Smith. I was raised on
the Warm Springs Reser-
vation along with six
brothers and sisters.
Being an effective
Tribal Council member
requires strong leadership
skills. The person must
have the abilities to speak
on their feet, to present
effectively, and adapt.
The person must be en-
ergetic, well spoken, and
educated—not just for-
mal education but edu-
cated through “life itself.”
Ask yourself if you
are looking for someone
who has good, common
sense, and is not afraid to
speak up. Our great can-
didate should have a natu-
ral, calm style of commu-
nication and possess re-
flective listening—not
only to each other, but to
our elders—and to all our
people. A great candi-
date knows the challenges
we face as a people. It is
very important that we
keep in mind: “What the
successful candidate actually
‘brings to the table.’ With
your vote, I can bring all of
this to the table.”
Life has been very,
very generous to me. I
attended college majoring
in Business Administra-
tion at OSU, Eugene
Business College and
Lane Community Col-
lege, earning an Associ-
ates Degree and initiation
into the Phi-Theta Hon-
ors Fraternity (3.83 GPA
overall).
I was raised in Warm
Springs by my mother
along with my brothers
and sisters. I was very
young when I dedicated
myself to helping our
people, which I continue
to do this day.
As I look back
through my life that has
prepared me for Tribal
Council, it makes me
smile, I am content…I am
confident…I love my people
dearly.
Prior to returning
home my job endeavors
included support staff at
OSU, the U of O, and
Lane Community; Ad-
ministrative Assistant/

the struggles of not only our
young families but of our el-
ders, I know about the finan-
cial woes we all face…

Work History
My very first job with
the Tribe was at Water and
Soil, Natural Resources
back in summer of 1994
as a summer youth em-
ployee. In 1995, I was
employed at Forestry,
Natural Resources, again
as a summer youth em-
ployee, which was also the
fencing crew.
In 1996, I worked dur-
ing the spring and sum-
mer for Kah-Nee-Ta re-
sort at the Village as a life-
guard.
In 1997, I worked for
White Horse Rafting
Company, which was
owned by Bruce Brunoe
Jr., during the spring and
summer months.
At the beginning of the
summer of 1998 to fall
of 1999, I worked for JR
Smith Logging, Tomcat
Logging, and Wissie Smith
Logging.
During the summer
months of 2001-2002
and from 2003-2004, I
was employed at Warm
Springs Project Engineer-
ing as a survey tech. I
also worked with BIA
Engineering Department
during these years as well.
In summer of 2006, I
helped oversee and man-
age a group of summer
youth workers.
From the fall of 2006
to spring of 2008, I
worked for Jefferson
County School District,
first as a teacher assistant
and later as a substitute
teacher.
In July 2008, I was
appointed as an Associate
Judge for the Tribal Court
by Tribal Council, as a
temporary Judge and
eventually as a full-time
Judge. I worked as a
Judge for 7 years and 2
months.
In September 2015, I
was appointed by Tribal
Council to the Secretary-
Treasurer/CEO position.
Certified Training in Tribal
Judiciary Skills, the National
Judicial College, Reno, Nev.
Multiple certificates from
trainings that relate to: alco-
hol/drug issues, criminal,
civil, juvenile, domestic rela-
tions, judicial procedure, evi-
dence, mediation, family
court, bench skills, jurisdic-
tion, sovereignty, code amend-
ments, and indirect basics.
Accomplishments
Associates of Arts Or-
egon Transfer Degree,
Central Oregon Commu-
nity College.
Bachelor of Science in
Liberal Studies, Oregon
State University-Cascades.
Master of Science in
Administrative Justice
and Security, University

The tribal bar exam was
recreated in 2011 by former
Chief Judge Susan Alexander.
In 2011, I was the first
person to take and success-
fully pass this bar exam. This
exam is still be administered
at the Tribal Court today.
In 2009, I started a com-
munity service work pro-
gram, named ‘clearing the
way,’ where defendants were
required to clean up sections
within the Warm Springs
Community. In 2012, I
turned this program over to
the Parole and Probation
Department.
In 2010, I started the
Blood Alcohol Content
(BAC's) compliance practice.
This practice required defen-
dants to report to Warm
Springs Corrections on a daily
basis to register a double zero
reading on the intoxilyzer and
keep a daily log for compli-
ance.
This is a successful prac-
tice that is still being used to-
day. It has helped defendants
to maintain their sobriety on
a daily basis. This practice is
also being used by the Juve-
nile Court to help parents
maintain their sobriety.
From 2011 to 2015, I was
the chairman for the Justice
Team, which has served as an
advisor y board to Tribal
Council for code revisions.

Vision
I would like to see our
Tribe and Membership
become more stable in
the future. There are so
many instabilities related
to: alcohol, drugs, jobs,
housing, income, health,
economy, crime, and sov-
ereignty, etc.
I have learned, in my
experience, that there are
various ways to help
bring more stabilization
to the community and
Tribe.
Bringing more stabil-
ity to our community and
membership will require
some major decisions.
The membership will
have to be included in the
decision-making process,
but there will also be
some decisions made
where Tribal Council will
have to make indepen-
dent decisions, which is
why the membership will
have to choose the best
candidate that they can
trust.
