KNT: ‘workforce committed to turn around’
(Continued from page 1)
The two had previously
operated under a single board
and charter, but this was no
longer appropriate, Council
decided.
Tribal Council appointed
the Kah-Nee-Ta board last
month, choosing as members
Manion, Sue Matters, Will-
iam Sam, Laneya Smith and
Charles Schmidt.
At their first meeting, the
board reviewed the financial
situation at the resort, and
prepared a report to Tribal
Council. “The board believes
there is an opportunity for
Kah-Nee-Ta to continue op-
eration but it can’t happen
without Tribal Council sup-
port,” Manion said.
“The board has reviewed
the operation at the resort,”
he said, “and we believe there
is a good workforce there,
one that is committed to see-
ing the operation turn around
and become successful
again.”
The general manager at
the resort is Jim Bankson,
who came on board this past
summer. His background is
in turning around resorts that
are in financial trouble. “He
comes from a property that
was in a situation similar to
Kah-Nee-Ta,” Manion said.
Victory for tribes in DAPL case
Cheers rang out at a pro-
test camp in North Dakota
over the weekend, as the
Standing Rock Sioux tribe and
its supporters learned that the
US Army Corps of Engi-
neers had blocked a measure
to allow the construction of
the Dakota Access Pipeline
beneath Lake Oahe, a Mis-
Skull found to be
2,300 years old
Scientists have deter-
mined that a skull found
in a crab pot off the
Washington coast two
years ago dates back
about 2,300 years.
The remains will be
returned to the appro-
priate tribe, officials
said. The skull was dis-
covered by fishermen
in late February 2014
about three miles off-
shore and southwest of
Grays Harbor, and was
turned over to the FBI.
souri River reservoir.
Tribe members and al-
lies, including environmen-
tal activists and military vet-
erans, had gathered at
Standing Rock reservation
since April, where they es-
tablished camp and refused
to leave until construction
was halted.
The protests were largely
peaceful, but at times de-
volved into chaos as law en-
forcement officers fired rub-
ber bullets, tear gas and wa-
ter at some activists.
