which is an order of the
Federal District Court of
Oregon in case Civil no. 68-
513-KI requires a process
that includes discussions
between the State of Or-
egon and Warm Springs and
other party tribes each year
to establish lamprey take
(har vest)
levels
at
Willamette Falls each year;
and
Whereas those take or
harvest levels of lamprey at
Willamette Falls are man-
aged by and through Warm
Springs tribal regulations es-
tablishing the time, place and
manner of lamprey harvest;
and
Whereas the State of
Oregon did not enter into the
process as required by the
United States v. Oregon Man-
agement Agreement to work
with War m Springs and
other party tribes to set the
annual take regulations, and
unilaterally declared what the
2014 Willamette Falls take
regulations would be in a let-
ter dates May 6, 2019, and
moreover said letter is rep-
resented as a ‘permit’ issued
by Oregon for lamprey har-
vest at Willamette Falls; and
Whereas the tribes’ lam-
prey harvest at Willamette
Falls is pursuant to its June
25, 1855 Treaty with the
United States, and no license,
permit or authorization of
any type by the State of Or-
egon is necessary for the
tribe’s harvest of lamprey at
Willamette Falls, and there-
fore the tribe does not ac-
knowledge or accept the pur-
ported permit offered by the
State of Oregon; and
Whereas notwithstand-
ing the State of Oregon’s
failure to adhere to the
terms of the United States
v. Oregon Management
Agreement, and while reject-
ing the May 6, 2019 letter
as a ‘permit’ or any emblem
of state regulation, the tribe
has treated the state’s time,
place and manner provisions
as its recommendations and
advice to the tribe, and those
have been considered by the
tribe in establishing the
Warm Springs tribes’ time,
place and manner conditions
of the 2019 lamprey har-
vest; and
Resolution continues on 7
