The plane crash site is
near the S-390 road, acces-
sible from the S-300/High-
way 3 from Schoolie Flat

“These basic and essen-
tial needs are absolutely criti-
cal to achieving the state’s
public health guidelines and
for reversing the Covid-19
spike within the Confeder-
ated Tribes of War m
Springs,” Sen. Findley wrote.
Public records show that
all parties—federal, tribal
and state—have been aware
for years of the risks failing
water systems in War m
Springs. “Should it have
been fixed years ago? Yes,”
Findley said. “But it doesn’t
do any good to go back and
lay blame. We have to look
forward and say, how do we
make this a better place to
be?”
Federal proposal
Oregon’s U.S. Senators
Ron Wyden and Jeff
Merkley are sponsoring The
Western Tribal Water Infra-
structure Act. This bill, if
passed, would provide fund-
ing for Western tribes to
address “ageing drinking wa-
ter infrastructure, often
long-overdue for improve-
ment and expansion.”
The Confederated Tribes
of War m Springs were
among the direct inspira-
tions for this legislation, as
the bill first came up in late
2019, following the tribes’
first prolonged boil-water
crisis.
The plan is for the bill to
move forward this year.
Sioux prioritize Native speakers for vaccine

tribe is prioritizing Covid-19
vaccinations for people who
speak native languages in an
effort to keep customs alive
The Standing Rock Sioux
tribe is giving covid vaccine
priority to those who speak
the native languages of Da-
kota and Lakota,.
Tribe Chair man Mike
Faith said the native speak-
ers are in line for inocula-
tions, just behind health care
workers. It’s being organized
this way in an effort to pro-
tect the customs and culture
of the tribe, which passes
them down orally.
“It’s something we have
to pass on to our loved ones,
our history, our culture our
language,” Faith told the sta-
tion last week. “We don’t
have it in black and white,
we tell stories. That’s why it's
so important.”
