UAS at KNT looks to break ground
A key part of the Warm
Springs Ventures unmanned
aerial systems program is the
training center at Kah-Nee-
Ta. This will help with Ven-
tures’ goal of developing a
Center For Excellence in Fire
Fighting on the reservation.
The work at Kah-Nee-Ta
will involve remodeling the
lower floor area, and creat-
ing conference and class-
rooms, and a UAS training
simulator.
There is a chance the
ground-breaking for this
work could happen in the
next two to three weeks, said
Aurolyn Stwyer, Ventures
business and marketing direc-
tor. Funding is coming
through a state grant pro-
gram.
Funding for tribes to prosecute non-Indians
For the first time since the
Violence Against Women Act
became law in 2013, tribes
will be able to obtain federal
funds to help them exercise
jurisdiction over non-Indians.
The landmark law recog-
nizes the “inherent” author-
ity of tribes to arrest, pros-
ecute and sentence certain
non-Indian offenders for
some domestic violence
crimes. But Congress never
Oregon Gov. Kate
Brown signed a
proclamation mak-
ing the week of May
14-21, American In-
dian Week. The
proclamation reads
in part:
Our state’s efforts
to build a healthy en-
vironment, strong
economy and thriv-
ing communities will
be strengthened by
consulting with an
tapping into the his-
torical knowledge
and traditional ex-
pertise of the First
Oregonians.
funded a program that was
designed to help tribes
strengthen their justice sys-
tems.
That’s finally changing now
that Congress included some
money in a fiscal year 2016
appropriations measure. The
Department of Justice is now
accepting applications for the
new Grants to Tribal Govern-
ments to Exercise Special
Domestic Violence Criminal
Jurisdiction Program.
The lack of federal fund-
ing hasn’t stopped tribes from
writing new laws, improving
their courts and making other
changes that enable them to
comply with Violence Against
Women Act.
The law requires tribes to
protect the constitutional
rights of all defendants if
they choose to participate in
the special domestic violence
criminal jurisdiction program.
