REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
TRAIL RIDE BUSINESS
Last summer, Spirit Mountain Development Corporation contracted with a non
profit organization, HORSES LTD, to provide trail riding to casino and hotel guests.
An interim program was established for 1999. While the business did not make
money for our partner this last summer, our experience suggests that there is an
opportunity for future growth.
Spirit Mountain is interested in offering qualified tribal members the opportunity to
submit proposals for operating the business in the future. Any applicants must have
experience in offering trail rides to the public, possess necessary credentials and
insurance and otherwise demonstrate the ability to operate this business, including
demonstrated financial resources.
Please send all proposals to Spirit Mountain Development Corporation, attn. Shelley
Hanson, P.O. Box 39, Grand Ronde, OR 97347.

CASE NO. C-99-07-002 ORDER GRANTING NAME CHANGE
In the Matter of: STEFFENSMIER
Petition For Change of Name Juvenile
Katherine Olivia Steffensmier, Applicant
by Pamala Jean Warren, Petitioner
Based on the allegations set forth in the Petition For Change of Name and
New Birth Certificate - Juvenile filed by the Petitioner in the above entitled
case, and based on the Court's examination of the Applicant, the Petitioner
and other interested parties at the Show Cause Hearing held October 7,
1999.
THE COURT FINDS THAT:
1. Petitioner is over 18 years of age and is the parent or legal guardian of
Applicant, a minor child;
2. Petitioner is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand
Ronde Community of Oregon;
3. Petitioner has not been granted a change of name by the Tribal Court
within the past twelve (12) months;
4. All persons entitled to notice have been properly served with a copy of the
Notice -To Parents and-Legal Guardians. - . . ...
5. The father responded to his receipt of the Petition by returning it with
notations on every page indicating his strong belief that mother's motives
were impure, and his adamant objection to the name change. Ms. Warren
verified that the writing was his. The Court's Aug. 16 Order to Show Cause
was sent twice to him by restricted mail, and the Court has received two
receipts dated Aug. 19 and Aug. 27, signed by his current wife, Renae
Steffensmeier. The Court will consider father's written response as his ap
pearance here today, even though not sworn under oath; and
6. The mother testified under oath. The Court found her testimony to be
credible. Mr. Anthony Gagliardo of the ICWP also testified under oath, and
his testimony supports the mother's. In sum, the mother is seeking this name
change for the best interests of the child who is, and has been, in her legal
custody since the divorce in 1991, is known to be the daughter of Pamela
Warren, and has a sibling with a hyphenated last name of Warren-Masters.
In addition, father's claim that "father is still alive" and therefore child should
bear his last name, extends equally to mother, who not only is alive, but is
the custodian of the child. Mother does not seek to eliminate father's name,
but only to add her own as well; and
7. The proposed name change is in the best interests of the minor child.
THEREFORE, BASED ON THE FOREGOING FINDINGS, THE
COURT ORDERS:
1. That the name of the Applicant be changed from KATHERINE OLIVIA
STEFFENSMIER to KATHERINE OLIVIA WARREN-STEFFENSMIER;
2. That the Clerk of the Tribal Court shall cause a copy of this Order to be
published in the tribal newspaper;
3. That the Clerk of the Tribal Court shall submit a certified copy of this
Order to the tribal enrollment office;
4. That the Clerk of the Court shall provide Petitioner with a certified copy
of this Order to be submitted by Petitioner to the Registrar of Vital Statistics
in the state in which the Applicant was born;
5. That upon receipt of the certified copy of the Order, the Registrar shall
issue a new birth certificate of the Applicant to reflect the new name of the
Ari;v,4- 4-j ir, t-ia HyAayanA oViall pVinnoro nnv rlesiernat.ion of race or
I r-f"m. MM UVMWW
national origin on the birth certificate to reflect that the Petitioner is an
American Indian;
6. That the Petitioner, on behalf of the minor child, shall surrender all old
tribal identification cards bearing Applicant's former name to the tribal en
rollment office prior to the enrollment office issuing Applicant new tribal
identification cards bearing the Applicant's new name; and
7. That within sixty (60) days from the date of this Order the tribal enroll
ment staff, and, if necessary, the tribal Enrollment Committee, shall cause
new tribal identification cards to be issued to Applicant showing the new
name of the tribal member and shall change the official membership roll and
all official enrollment records of the Tribe to reflect the Applicant's new name
as stated in this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 7 DAY OF OCT., 1999
