Unique opportunity for Tribes to
meet with state legislators, staff
GOVERNMENT DAY
continued from front page
Umpqua Tribe of Indians also has
donated funds for the reception.
The Grand Ronde Tribe will
be represented by Public Affairs
Administrative Assistant Chelsea
Clark at the informational table
and Tribal Council members and
Tribal lobbyist Justin Martin usu-
ally attend to meet with veteran
and newly elected legislators.
“Tribal Government Day offers a
unique opportunity for Tribal lead-
ers, Tribal staff and Tribal citizens to
meet with legislators, public agency
officials and staff in an environment
to communicate directly about their
respective governments,” said Mar-
tin, who is based in Salem.
“This reciprocal education event
provides a glimpse into how similar
their respective roles can be, while
also highlighting the uniqueness of
the state-Tribal process that makes
Oregon so effective at positive gov-
ernment-to-government relation-
ships. These positive relationships
lead to an enhanced awareness
and work ethic that guides a better
policy framework that ultimately
benefits everyone inside Indian
Country and throughout Oregon.”
Although Oregon’s Legislature
now meets annually, the 2017 ses-
sion will be the larger of the two
and the event gives Oregon Tribes
a chance to educate new legisla-
tors who were elected during the
November 2016 general election
about their sovereign status and
issues of importance to Oregon’s
Tribal Nations. 
