S moke S ignals JUNE 1, 2015 23 A day to celebrate 40 years of achievement LCIS continued from page 21 Affairs Administrative Assistant Chelsea Clark and Tribal Council Administrative Assistant Shannon Simi. Tribal member and lobbyist Justin Martin also attended the celebration. “We worked hard to create a day in which Tribal government leaders, state leaders and those who work for state and Tribal government could come together to celebrate a pretty amazing 40-year history of achievement, conversation, education, infor- mation gathering and partnering connected to the LCIS,” said com- mission Executive Director Karen Quigley. “It was a day of stunning ceremony, memorable remarks by state officials in the Capitol rotun- da followed by heartfelt sharing by Tribal leaders to fascinated audiences in two crowded hearing rooms. “How appropriate to have the day end with a respectful legisla- tor-to-Tribal-leader exchange in a committee hearing promising future dialogue at Tribal locations. The LCIS anniversary celebration had lots of great food, plenty of visiting and smiles and clapping. It was a very good day. Our thanks to Grand Ronde for their big part in making it so.” The event also featured perfor- mances by the Siletz Nee-dash Singers and the Umatilla Bell Signers, as well as Indian fry bread provided by the Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, which is based in Port- land. n Lamprey season opens on June 1 The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has designated the lamprey harvest season at Willamette Falls as 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays through Mondays between June 1 and July 31.
