High Lookee discussion at Tribal Council
The High Lookee
Lodge assisted living fa-
cility is a unique part of
the reservation commu-
nity. The lodge is techni-
cally a tribal enterprise,
but is not intended to
operate at a profit.
Tribal Council is look-
ing at possibly re-catego-
rizing the operation to
better reflect the reality
of the situation.
“Is it an enterprise, or
a department?” Tribal
Council vice chairman
Jody Calica said. “Or is
it a health service?”
Council discussed the
matter last week with
Health and Human Ser-
vices and tribal manage-
ment.
War m Springs Chief
Delvis Heath gave some
background on the intention
of Tribal Council 20 years
to build the High Lookee
Lodge.
The purpose, Chief
Heath said, was to provide
an assisted living option for
elders who did not wish to
move to Madras or some
other community. Being in
Warm Springs, closer to
home, is better for the el-
der and for the family, he

said.
There are 18 employ-
ees at the lodge. Twelve
are tribal members, one is
from another tribe, and
five are non-Indians. The
director if Jolene Green.
The lodge has the ca-
pacity for 35 residents.
Currently there are 19 el-
ders living there. They
each have their own room,
something not offered at
all assisted living facilities.
Thirteen of the resi-
dents are tribal members,
two are from other
tribes, and four are non-
Indians.

Judge to rule on tribe’s pipeline request

A ruling in the request by
the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe to stop a four-state oil
pipeline under construction
near their reservation will
come by Sept. 9, a federal
judge said last week.
The tribe is challenging
the Army Corps of Engi-
neers’ decision to grant per-
mits for Dallas-based En-
ergy Transfer Partners’ $3.8
billion Dakota Access pipe-
line, which crosses through
four states, including near
the reservation that straddles
the North Dakota-South
Dakota border.
U.S. District Judge James
Boasberg listened to argu-
ment and said he’d rule next
month.
The $3.8 billion pipeline,
which will run 1,168 miles
through Iowa, Illinois, North
Dakota and South Dakota,
has generated legal challenges

and protests, most aggres-

increased tension over the
pipeline that will cross the Mis-
souri River near the Standing
Rock Sioux reservation has
led to dozens of arrests.

Xavier Gilbert is among
the best bull riders in the
world. Most recently he
qualified for the bull-riding
competition
at
the
Pendleton Roundup.
He will compete on Sep-
tember 16 at the Roundup.
Only 56 bull riders qualified
for the competition.
Xavier is a member of
the Professional Rodeo
Cowboys Association. He
grew up in Warm Springs.
“As a youth I started out riding
calves and steers,” Xavier was
saying this week.
Growing up was a chal-
lenge, he says, because of the
poverty, alcoholism and drug
abuse that many around him
were struggling with.
“But I told myself that if
I could stay away from drugs
and alcohol, I could follow
my dream,” he says. Qualify-
ing to ride in the most presti-
gious rodeo is a big part of
that dream. “And I thank God
for getting me where I am
today.”
Young people in Warm
Springs have the potential to
do anything they set their
mind to, Xavier says. “I see
many young people here with
talent. All they need is a posi-
tive role model,” he says.
“And just remember, It’s
never too late. If you keep
dreaming, then anything is
possible.”
Health: contract vs. compact issue in Oct.
(Continued from page 1)
A federal contracting of-
ficer oversees aspects of
the contracting scenario,
while no such officer is in-
volved in self-governance
compacting, said Caroline
Cruz.
Tribal Council asked for
a more detailed analysis of
the options. Some on
Council stated the concern
of possibly running into
future funding restrictions
through a compacting
agreement.
Health and Human Ser-
vices is scheduled to bring
the issue back to Tribal
Council in October.
