2004 The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde's Cultural Re
sources Department, in cooperation with the Mission Mill Museum
Association, collaborated on the reprinting of Dr. Harold Mackey's
book 'The Kalapuyans," long one of the most accessible resources for
information and history on the Natives in the Willamette Valley.
1999 The Grand Ronde Tribe played host to almost 200 Tribal
leaders and representatives who were members of the Affiliated Tribes
of Northwest Indians. They met at Spirit Mountain Casino and Lodge
for the annual mid-year conference.
1994 The Tribe was awaiting an amendment to the Grand Ronde
Reservation Act to pass, which would end the Interior Department's
confusion about gaming on land along state Highway 18. The Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act prohibited Tribal gaming on land that was not
held in trust before October 1988. However, Tribal attorney Michael
Mason said, 'The exception to this rule is land that has been part of
land restored to a restored Tribe."
1989 ' The Tribe held its first timber sale from the reservation. The
Western Skies sale sold about 3,695 mbf of timber (mostly Douglas fir)
for approximately $1.3 million.
1984 The Tribe thanked Diana and Ron Stogsdill for the carpet
ing they donated for the Depot Office, and Penna Mobil Homes for its
assistance and cooperation in obtaining the carpet for the office.
Yesteryears is a look back at Tribal history in five-year incre
ments through the pages of Smoke Signals.
