Voting in favor, Councilwoman
Carina Miller said, “The people
have voted on this, and they want
to get it moving.” Warm Springs
Chief Delvis Heath also voted in
favor.
Other Council discussion was in
regard to details of Financial Strat-
egies LLC. The limited liability as-
pect of the entity protects the tribes
from any potential liability, as the
LLC itself would be the only re-
course, said tribal attorney Ellen
plan
Grover.
Financial Strategies would be
managed by a management com-
mittee comprised of the Secretary-
Treasurer, the director of tribal Fi-
nance, and an individual tribal mem-
ber appointed by Council.
The management committee will
be in charge of direct approval of
any loans that comply with the pur-
pose of the LLC. The committee
will provide an annual budget re-
port to the tribes.
Horses: limited sales market
(Continued from page 1)
Fish habitat and native plants
also benefit from reduced horse
numbers, as the animals forage
through riparian areas, said Brad
Houslet, tribal fisheries biologist.
Other benefits of the program
have been employment and income
opportunities for mermbres, job
skills building, and recognition by
youth of the tribal horse culture,
Jayson Smith said.
The horse removal program is
funded through the settlement
money the tribes received in a natu-
ral resources lawsuit against the fed-
eral government. The money was
ear-marked for horse population
control.
In 2006 the federal government
stopped funding for horsemeat in-
spection. The effect was the clo-
sure of the few processing facili-
ties in the U.S., leaving Canada and
Mexico as the available markets.
At the Council update last week,
Wasco Chief J.R. Smith Sr. asked
what would happen if these mar-
kets were blocked.
The result could be devastation
to the range habitat, as there would
be no option for controlling the
horse population, Bobby Brunoe
said. “We do think about that, and
it would be devastating,” he said.
Meanwhile, there may be a
chance at the federal level to re-
open a domestic market, Mr. Smith.
He is a member of the National
Tribal Horse Coalition, and follows
developments in the industry.
