Mora than 40 Tribal and community mtmbtri attended tha Oregon
Department of Transportation workforce information workshop held

2004 Tribal staff are seeking a $500,000 Indian Community
Block Grant to help fund a two-year, $3.2 million project to widen
Grand Ronde Road to make it safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and
drivers.
1999 Cemetery groundskeeper Russell Leno says that the Tribal
cemetery is being used disrespectfully by some who are driving
through the grounds at night. "We know because the next day I found
tire marks all through the graves," he says. Leno says Tribal Council
might have to consider locking the cemetery's gates at night.
1994 The Tribe receives a $270,000 U.S. Department of Urban
and Housing Development Indian Community Block Grant to help
build a 5,000-gallon steel water storage tank on the ridge north of
Highway 18 across from the proposed Spirit Mountain Development
resort site.
1989 Tribal member Chuck Williams helps christen Multnomah
County's newest river patrol boat, Chief Tumalth, on the shores
of the Columbia River. Williams is a descendant of Tumalth, who
signed the 1855 Willamette Valley Treaty representing the Wal-lal-la
band of the Tumwaters, later known as the Cascades. The boat is
the fifth in the county Sheriffs Office fleet to be named after Pacific
Northwest Indian leaders.
1984 Kight of the nine-member Interim Tribal Council spend a
