UAS work
starts at KNT
T he tribes’ unmanned aerial
systems program continues its
upward trajectory. The reser-
vation UAS program is already
well-known in the state, and is
gaining recognition nationally
and internationally.
Two of the main focus ar-
eas of the tribes’ unmanned
aerial systems program are
wildland firefighting and re-
source conservation.
UAS
inspection
of
infrastructoin—utility lines in-
spection, for instance—is an-
other area of great potential.
A key addition will be the
Jayson Smith photos/Spilyay
Miss Warm Springs Keeyana Yellowman, and Tribal Council
members Lee Tom and Val Switzler help with the ground-breaking.
The event also included the demonstration of a soil-collecting UAS.
Spay, neuter event building partnership
The Bend Spay and Neuter
Project is partnering with the Warm
Springs community to provide these
services to pet owners on the res-
ervation.
You can meet the Bend Spay and
Neuter Project medical team at a
meet and greet event coming up on
Tuesday, August 2. This will include
a chance to win a $100 gift card to
Petco.
The meet and greet will be from
11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on August 2 at
the Warm Springs Housing Com-
munity Building, 2776
Quail Trail-Greeley
Heights, Warm Springs.
Please note that sur-
geries will not be provided

At the August 2 gathering, you
can learn how to help by volunteer-
ing at clinics. Learn more about
spaying and neutering your pets.
Give feedback on veterinary ser-
vices, and enjoy some
free snacks and drinks.
The goal of this part-

getting him or her fixed.
This program is presented by

Center for Excellence UAS
training center at Kah-Nee-Ta.
Ventures and the Confederated
Tribes this month broke ground
on the center, a milestone event
for the reservation, and the
Oregon UAS industry overall.
Excavation work toward
bringing Telecom fiber to the
resort, a necessary component
of the UAS center, was also
progressing this month. The
Kah-Nee-Ta event and the
Telecom work demonstrate
how the UAS program will be a
multi-partner program of the
tribes.
The reservation is one of
three FAA approved test areas
in the state. Warm Springs has
already conducted test flights at
the ranges.
The summer golf league is un-
der way at the Kah-Nee-Ta course.
The program will run through
mid September. The league will be
every Friday evening at 5:30 p.m.
for anybody who is interested. For
more information, call the club-
house at 541-553-4971.

Simnasho meeting
on future housing

Committee and the Planning
Department.
The meeting is set for Thurs-
day, July 21. A light meal will be

ing starting at 7.
The subject for discussion is
community input on future
housing concepts.
The tribes are not going into
construction at this time or in
the near future. For future ref-
erence there should be a plan
in place.
Questions for discussion
are: What kind of housing
does the community want?
And where to build?

update on greenhouse progress
(Continued from page 1)
Warm Springs cannabis
project coordinator Pi-Ta Pitt
said the candidates are excel-
lent, and will provide the kind
of strict oversight the Depart-
ment of Justice and OLCC
are looking for.
A Department of Justice
official, Pi-Ta said, reviewed
the nominee resumes, and was
impressed by their back-
grounds and professionalism.
In other news from the meet-
ing with Council last week:
The construction at the green-
house site will start in the near fu-
ture.
There has been some delay in
the start date. Part of the delay,
Pi-Ta said, is because the project
organizers found a better supplier
for the greenhouse.
The cannabis industry, includ-
ing greenhouse technology, is
changing at a rapid pace. For in-
stance, companies that made
greenhouses for intensive indoor
vegetable and flower growing op-
erations are now entering the can-
nabis field.
The project organizers, Pi-
Ta said, want a greenhouse
that will be an excellent and
long-term asset to the tribes.
So the delay of a few weeks
is a benefit in the long run.
The work toward develop-
ing the cannabis project is car-
rying out the mandate of the
December 2015 referendum
of the tribal membership,
when they vote 1,252 in fa-
vor to 198 against.
