Recent recommendations of the tribes’ Covid-19 Response Team
The Confederated Tribes’
Covid-19 Response Team pre-
sented a report and recommenda-
tion to Tribal Council earlier this
month. The protocol is for tribal
buildings. Enterprises have their
own boards who can make deci-
sions on their behalf for covid
protocols.
The Covid Team is concerned
about the low overall vaccination
rate: Until the community reaches
a 70-percent vaccination rate, or
if the data shows we are not being
infected, this protocol stays in place.
· All tribal buildings: If any per-
son is not a regular employee or
customer to any tribal building, the
person needs to show proof of
covid vaccination by showing their
Centers for Disease Control card,
or a picture of the card.
Monitors should know by now
who are regulars to their building;
so they do not have to show proof
every time.
If proof cannot be provided,
then masks needs to be worn.

Rosella Mosely ~
1940-2021
Rosella Leonard Mosely was
born on April 7, 1940. She
passed away July 13, 2021. Ms.
Mosely was 81.
Her health rapidly declined
during the recent heat wave,
after a long battle with kidney
and heart disease. Rosella was
also a cancer survivor.
After a 1940s Warm Springs
Indian Reservation childhood,
filled with eight siblings, there
are many colorful family
memories. Young Miss Rosella
Leonard enjoyed a Madras
1950s of academic achieve-
ment, tremendous change in
Central Oregon—the era of
dam building—and much White
Buffalo school spirit.
Upon graduation, in spite of
show business predictions,
Rosella set off for her future
with academic ambitions and
professional goals.
As the ‘60s unfolded, the
Civil Rights movement, and the
War in Viet Nam were the back-
drop for Rosella’s college years.
After brief studies at Port-
land State University, Ms.
Leonard left Oregon for South-
ern California, studying in San
Bernardino, while also working
as a Social Worker for River-
side County, and creating a
family with her first husband,
Frank, who had graduated Vale-
dictorian from college.
Rosella’s son, Marcus, was
born in ’66, and raising him
became her life. As the 1970s
passed, Rosella moved to New
Mexico, her husband’s country,
then on to Bellingham, Wash-
ington for the completion of
college at Western Washington.
The nearby Lummi Indian
Reservation benefited from
Rosella’s social work before a
return to Central Oregon as a
Counselor at Madras High
School, working under Princi-

pal Stan Dmytryk.
By the mid-Seventies, Rosella
had advanced to become the
Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act (CETA) program
prime director for the Confeder-
ated Tribes of Warm Springs.
An exciting Bicentennial sum-
mer in Washington D.C. working
for the American Indian Policy
Review Commission on Capital
Hill followed.
Then Rosella’s second mar-
riage, to Lloyd Phillips, Data Pro-
cessing Manager for War m
Springs, began, with Tribal Edu-
cation Committee meetings for
Rosella.
By 1977, she began work on
her Masters Degree in Education
at Oregon State University, study-
ing under Carvel Wood. By 1978,
with those studies completed and
degree in hand, Rosella consulted
and traveled, working on numer-
ous projects.
The American Indian Lawyers
Training Program was attended,
workshops for brother Deni
Leonard’s L2+A, consultation was
done with Northwest Regional
Educational Labs, and women’s
political caucus work in Portland
Those who are vaccinated no
longer needs to wear a mask; how-
ever, if the person enters another
tribal building and are not a regu-
lar, then the person needs to show
proof.
All those entering tribal buildings
need to have his or her tempera-
ture taken, with a daily log kept on
file in case there is an exposure in
the building; so contact tracers can
access if necessary.
· Masks are no longer required
for people who are outdoors,
kept Rosella busy.
And yet in this time period, ten-
nis in Madras, and baseball in Bend,
hanging out with the Phillies were
also favorite pastimes.
After the second marriage, a ro-
mance with P.E. Coach Neil
Halousek from Madras High in-
cluded a trip back to Washington
D.C. to visit Rosella’s brother, Ken-
neth Smith, when he was made the
Assistant Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior.
Soon Neil, Rosella and her son
moved to Beaverton, where Marc
graduated from high school in
1984.
After working for the Urban In-
dian Council and then the Indian
Health Service, Rosella became the
Mental Health Training Coordina-
tor for the Northwest Portland
Area Indian Health Board, trans-
forming it into a vital tribal work-
shop provider. Those days remem-
bered fondly for friends long past,
and some good work done.
By the mid-1980s, Rosella was
on committees for the Affiliated
Tribes of the Northwest, and the
National Congress of American
Indians.
This was followed by a faculty
position at Portland State Univer-
sity for the Institute on Aging,
headed by Spiro Manson.
In 1986, as Rosella’s son
Marcus moved to New York City
for art school, she and the Insti-
tute moved to the University of
Colorado, becoming the National
Center.
Rosella was the Journal of the
National Center’s first managing
editor. The work in Colorado was
followed by some international
tribal timber consultation by
Rosella in Vancouver B.C. Then a
brief return to the Northwest Port-
land Area Indian Health Board
before the end of the ‘80s, and
Rosella’s son’s graduation from the
Pacific Northwest College of Art
in 1990, where he was once Stu-
dent Body President.
The year before his graduation,
Rosella returned to school to be-
gin work on a double PhD in Utah,
in Psychiatry. Rosella’s Doctorial
though social distancing and mask-
ing is still encouraged.
· Events no longer need to be
approved by the Covid-19 Team.
· Buildings no longer will be
closed when there is an exposure.
Each case will be reviewed and
evaluated separately and sections
will be sanitized.
· Those who use tribal vehicles
as part of their job and have pas-
sengers need to wear masks at all
time.
· Travel for work is still restricted
Thesis work was interrupted
by personal health challenges
that were met bravely; long in
remission.
In the 1990s, Rosella re-
turned to Warm Springs as the
Legislative Analyst for the
Confederated Tribes’ Depart-
ment of Governmental Af-
fairs organizing the Code.
This required an examina-
tion of every tribal
department’s rules and proce-
dures for codification. And
with that, by 1995, Rosella’s
daily job career was complete.
It was followed by consulta-
tion work for a variety of le-
gal projects and clients, rang-
ing from individuals in court,
to tribes in Congress, to our
own Oregon school districts.
Rosella’s marriage, to jazz
bass-player and chef at the
Kennedy School in Portland,
Robert Roake in the early
nineties complimented her
son’s local folk rock band’s
work, as ‘Spider Moccasin,’
profiled in detail in the Orego-
nian and the New York Times,
and a staple feature on KBOO
90.7 FM and on Mt. Hood
Cable Access Television at the
turn of the century.
Rosella Leonard Moseley
made her warm home in Port-
land a safe haven for family
and friends. Rosella was once
a big Portland Trailblazers fan
for awhile, attending games, as
well as concerts, in the tribal
booth at the Rose Garden as
often as possible.
Rosella loved and respected
her siblings; her big brother the
late Ken Smith, older sisters
Darlyne Araiza and Margo
Miamoto, brother Uren
Leonard, sisters Wauna Calica
and Elveta Stewart, and broth-
ers William and Dennis
Leonard and their children.
Rosella always missed her
mom Mildred Tyler, and her
step father, Floyd Tyler, and
her father, Uren Leonard her
entire life. Rosella passed away
mid July, 2021, in Portland.

general managers and directors for
