Wind River Timber Sale Approved
Tribal Council approved the Wind River Timber
Sale on Wednesday, Jan 8, at the weekly Tribal
Council meeting.
The Timber Committee is recommending the
proposed Wind River Timber Sale be done by
sealedoral auction on February 13, 1992 at 2:00pm.
All sealed bids will be considered before the oral
auction begins. The oral auction will begin with the
highest bid from the sealed auction.
"Offering both a sealed and an oral opportunity to
bid gives everyone a fair chance to bid competitively
against each other," Cliff Adams, Tribal Forester,
said.
The sale will be advertised in three major Oregon
papers and specifically to 75-100 prospective buyers.
The purchaser, company with the highest bid of
sealedoral auction, will be awarded the rights to
approximately 2.7 million board feet of timber and
also other various forest products.
All clearcutting will be contracted out by the
purchaser.
Cliff Adams, the Tribal Forester, plans to have all
60 acres of the Wind River area reforested within
one year. Ten percent of the funds generated from
the sale will help pay for reforestation and forest
enhancement projects.

Tribe Shares Surplus Food
With the Community
When Operation Desert Storm ceased to exist, an
overwhelming surplus of food remained. This surplus of
government contracted food is being allocated through
out the country to the homeless and other agencies in
need.
Tribal Council approved a proposal from the ad hoc
Desert Share Committee to offer one-half of the food to
the needy in the surrounding communities.
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde ordered
several 40 foot trailers full of food to be delivered at
some time in the near future. The exact date of distribu
tion is unknown, but will be announced as soon as
possible.
The ad hoc Desert Share Committee convened on Jan.
13, 1992 to establish a means of distributing the food. It
was decided, by the committee, to use the Desert Share
food in a manner which would benefit the tribe as a
whole.
Distribution of one-half of the surplus food will be
distributed to tribal members only. With priority given
to the elders and shut-ins, the food will be distributed on
a first-come, first-serve basis to tribal members on the
enrollment roster.
The committee agreed to offer the other half of the
food received to the City of Willamina and Wes Shanks
for distribution to the needy in our surrounding commu
nities. These parties are responsible for storing and
distributing their half of the surplus food.
All tribal members will be notified at a later time with
more information regarding the exact date and times of
distribution.
