Miss Warm Springs 2016 Keeyana Yellowman

Ventures,Councilwork onnext phase

Being Miss Warm Springswas something KeeyanaYellowman had wanted to dofor some years. “I’ve alwayslooked up to the former MissWarm Springs, especially mymom,” Keeyana was saying re-cently.

Her mom is Merle Kirk, andher dad is Virgil Yellowman.Keeyana is a former Miss Jun-ior Warm Springs, and LittleMiss Warm Springs.

The Pageant judges last weekat the Agency Longhouse choseher to represent the tribes asMiss Warm Springs 2016.

Keeyana, 18, is a senior atMadras High School. She is aco-founder, and now co-presi-dent of the Warm SpringsYouth Council, advocating theinterests of young people in thecommunity.

The Council’s most recentproject was a toy drive thatbrought in many Christmas pre-sents for local families.

During the Miss WarmSprings Pageant, Keeyana per-formed a hand drum song thatshe had written. The song, inthe Ichishkeen language, “isabout having a good heart whilebeing around our children,”Keeyana says.

“My grandma MildredQueampts helped me with thetranslation.”

Keeyana is planning to attend theUniversity of Oregon after shegraduates from high school. Sheplans to study linguistics.

Keeyana has been around theNative languages for several years,as her grandmother and other elderrelatives are speakers.

Keeyana is the fortieth MissWarm Springs, carrying on a tra-dition that began in 1955, whenthe tribes were celebrating theOne-Hundred Year Anniversaryof the Treaty of 1855.

After the inaugural year in1955, the Miss Warm Springspageant was not held again until1969. At that time, atwai Dor-othy ‘Pebbles’ George was se-lected as Miss Warm Springs.Since then, the pageant has beenheld annually with few excep-tions.

Suzanne Slockish Mc-Connville was Miss WarmSprings 2015, and presented thetitle to Keeyana at the Decem-ber 28 pageant.

Miss Warm Springs serves asa cultural ambassador for theConfederated Tribes, and is arole model for the community.She speaks at public functionsin the community, regionally andnationally.

She attends local events likethe Lincoln’s Birthday Day andPi-Ume-Sha powwows, and par-ticipates in Museum at WarmSprings functions, other tribalenterprise gatherings, as well asregional and national confer-ences. Many of the titleholderscompete annually in the Miss In-dian World pageant.

Project update

The Confederated Tribes ofWarm Spring is in the process ofupdating the tribal website, currentlyfound at:www.warmsprings.com

Those working on the projecthave also talked about the triballogo, and whether it should be up-dated or changed.

The current tribal logo is usedon a variety of things including thewebsite, letterhead, business cardsand printed materials like reports.

In some cases, branches haveused the tribal logo on vehicles orsignage, and the logo is often in-cluded on t-shirts for communityevents.

Over the years, the logo qualityhas decreased, and it is not useduniformly throughout the organiza-tion.

Through the process of devel-oping the website, the tribal logofiles are being updated to addressthese issues by providing uniformfiles and electronic templates forletterhead, business cards andPowerPoint presentations, to namea few.

The logo will also be included onthe new tribal website. Note that nochanges are being proposed to thetribal flag.

In December, Tribal Council re-viewed two updated logos. Option

2 (above) reflects modifications tothe original logo and a color change.

A third option was presented thatincluded three fisherman along theColumbia River. Tribal Council re-quested that this logo be changedto reflect one fisherman, which isnow reflected in Option 3 (abovecenter).

Tribal Council requested that thechange to the tribal logo be takento the people for feedback. Option1 (above at right) reflects the origi-nal logo.

Tribal members are being askedto review the three logos, andchoose the one they like the most.The goal is to receive the feed backby January 24.

Following that date, feedback willbe collated and presented to theTribal Council for a final decision.

To give your feedback online, go

to: bit.ly/1PGyTFdIf you need a paper version of

this form, or for further inquiries,contact: alert@wstribes.org

The optionsTo be eligible to participate, you

must be 16 or over, a member ofthe Confederated Tribes of WarmSprings, and submit your tribal IDnumber and voting district. All sub-missions will be verified.

Only one vote is allowable pertribal member, and can be castonline at the site above, or by pa-per form. Paper forms are alsoavailable at the management officeat the tribal administration building.Please submit to the managementoffice by the posted deadline, Janu-ary 24.

Here are the logo options anddescriptions:

Option 1 - The current triballogo contains three teepees, rep-resenting the three tribes of theConfederacy, the Warm Springs,Wasco and Paiutes. Contained inthe teepees are blue lines, rep-resenting water (or rivers) andcircles, representing the sun.

Option 2 - This logo is amodified version of the origi-nal logo that includes a new colorpalette and modifications withinthe teepee. This logo includes“1855” as a reference to the1855 Treaty with the Tribes ofMiddle Oregon which createdthe Warm Springs Indian Res-ervation.

Option 3 - This is a newlydesigned logo of a man fishingalong the Columbia River. Thelogo connects the tribe to theColumbia River and one of ourprimary means of traditionalsubsistence, fishing. This logoincludes “1855” as a referenceto the 1855 Treaty with theTribes of Middle Oregon whichcreated the Warm Springs In-dian Reservation.

BIA updateon petitionto changeConstitution

Warm Springs BIA Agency Su-perintendent John Halliday met withTribal Council this week, regardingthe petition calling for a vote ontribal Constitutional amendments.

Mr. Halliday said he would for-ward the petition signatures and pro-posed Constitutional changes to theBIA Regional office on Mondayafternoon, Jan. 4.

Regional Director Stan Speakswould then make a decision on theelection by January 15. If Mr.Speaks determines the petition isvalid, with enough signatures, thenthe BIA would conduct an electionwithin 90 days from Jan. 15.

The petition calls for a numberof changes to the Tribal Constitu-tion. Some of the proposed changesare related, and would be voted ontogether. Proposed changes thatstand alone would be subject toseparate ballots, Mr. Halliday said.

The idea, he said, is to avoid asituation where the election resultscreate a contradiction.

The group that circulated thepetition last year submitted a totalof 1,290 signatures to the BIA. Aminimum of about 1,183 signaturesis necessary to call for the vote.

See PETITION on 2

Tribal Council and Warm SpringsVentures are meeting this week todiscuss the next steps in the cannabisproduction project.

One item on the agenda will bedevelopment of regulations that thetribes will implement in the opera-tion of the facility.

This will demonstrate that thetribes will meet or exceed state regu-lations that apply to non-tribal grow-ing operations, said Don Sampson,Ventures chief executive officer.

State and federal officials “aresaying that if we can meet or ex-ceed the state standards, then theyare prepared to work with us,” Mr.Sampson said. “We intend to betransparent, and to work closelywith the state and Department ofJustice.”

Along with a meeting with TribalCouncil, Ventures is also planningin January to meet with officialsfrom the Department of Justice.

Petition: election would amend Constitution(Continued from page 1)

The final number of sig-natures submitted to theBIA Regional Office willlikely be somewhat lowerthan the total number sub-mitted. This is because someof the same signatures ap-peared more than one timeon the petition sheets; somewere by non-tribal members,and some were by minors.Some signature names arethose of people who were de-ceased at the time.

Still, there appears to beenough signatures to meetthe minimum requirement,Mr. Halliday said.

Some signatures are illeg-ible, but apparently these arevalid, as the signature gath-erers verified the petitionsheets, Mr. Halliday said.

Some on Tribal Councilfeel the illegible signaturesshould not be counted, asyou cannot prove whetherthe person is really a tribalmember, over 18, etc.

The BIA legal counsel,though, indicates the signa-ture gatherer verification isenough, Halliday said.

Allowing the tribal mem-bership to vote on the ques-tion is important, CouncilmanKahseuss Jackson said, butthe integrity of the process isas important.

The potential of non-tribalmember signatures on thepetition sheets would be un-fortunate, he said, consider-ing the proposal is to changethe Tribal Constitution. Coun-cilwoman Evaline Patt ex-pressed a similar feeling.

Councilmen Scott Mosesand Carlos Smith said theprocess needs to go forward,so the membership can havetheir say.

Proposed changesThis is a summary of pro-

posed changes to the tribalConstitution, as presented onthe petition:

Tribal Council would in-clude nine members. Underthe existing Tribal Constitu-tion, there are 11 Councilmembers. Three of the 11positions are those of theChiefs, who serve for life.

One proposed amend-ment would make all of the

Council positions subject toa term of years, with no life-term positions.

Under the proposal, theterms would be for threeyears, with the exception ofsome initial terms. As sum-marized:

“The elected members willbe numbered 1-9 based on adrawing of numbers 1-9.Numbers 1, 4 and 7 will bein the first election after threeyears; 2,5 and 8 will be in thesecond election the followingyear; 3,6 and 9 will be in thethird election the followingyear. The election process forCouncil will follow this num-bered process annually there-after.”

So after the initial three-year period, there would bean election of three newCouncil members each year,under the proposal.

Another proposal: TheCouncil members would beselected in BIA secretarialelections by eligible, entitledvoters. This would be an-other significant change, ascurrent Tribal Council elec-tions are conducted tribally.

Under the existing TribalConstitution, three Councilmembers are elected fromthe Simnasho and Agencydistricts, and two are electedfrom the Seekseequa Dis-trict.

Under the proposedamendments, the Councilmembers would be elected bythe membership at large,rather than by district.

Also among the proposedTribal Constitutional amend-ments:

The Tribal Council mem-bers would be compensatesas follows: Chairperson$80,000; Vice-Chairperson$70,000; all other members$60,000.

If the election goes for-ward, then tribal members 18years and older would needto register to vote with theBIA. The referendum wouldpass with a majority voting infavor; and seeing at least one-third of the registered votersparticipate. The petition ini-tiators are Mike Clements,Sal Sahme, Wendell Jim,Grant Clements Sr. , andRuth “Pinky” Beymer.

(Continued from page 1)Another early project

will be the creation of atribal cannabis commis-sion to oversee the opera-tion, again similar to thetribal gaming operation.In time, the tribes and thestate will finalize a com-pact, similar to a gamingcompact, in regard to thecannabis project.

Another item to be de-termined is the location ofthe greenhouse. Thiswould be a facility about36,000 square feet in size.The industrial park, nearthe mill, or some other lo-cation are all on the table.

Ventures and Councilare working with theBranch of Natural Re-sources, the Land-UseCommittee, tribal engineerand others in narrowingdown the location options.Funding options for theconstruction are anotheritem on the agenda duringearly 2016.

The site will be aboutfive acres in size, at a se-cure location, and wouldhave access to electricity

and water. Any culturaland resource requirementswould be addressed imme-diately, Sampson said.

Another project will bedevelopment of the em-ployee training program.Ventures and the tribes willwork with partners fromColorado on this project,Sampson said. Eighty-fiveemployees will be workingat the facility when in itsfull operation.

“There is a lot to do, andthere are different aspectsmoving forward at thesame time,” Mr. Sampsonsaid.

The ConfederatedTribes of Warm Springs isthe first tribe to pursue acannabis project at thislevel, “and we’re going todo it right. That’s what theU.S. Attorney really liked,the transparency. Theyknow we’re heading in theright direction.”

Sometime in the future,the tribes could also con-sider the cultivation ofhemp, which has no recre-ational quality, but hasgreat industrial potential.

Cultural matterThe Native American Cul-

tural Association of Oregonis a newly formed group,helping Native American cul-tural groups in the state ofOregon.

The organizers launchedthe group to replace fundingthat was cut in the Lane Edu-

cation District, which helpedNative American title groupsin Lane County.

This affects Springfield,Bethel, Eugene and Siuslaw(Florence) school districts,and puts their Native youthprograms at risk.

The Native American Cul-tural Association of Oregonwas originally the vision ofVirgil Martin, who ran theSpringfield Indian EducationProgram at the SpringfieldSchool District for over a de-cade.

Virgil was also the one whowas able to bring back thepowwow at Springfield HighSchool. Virgil started this pro-cess before his passing in2012. Unfortunately, his pass-ing slowed things to a crawlfor a few years. With hismother Irene Eskue’s permis-sion, we are carrying on withhis legacy.

We have been able to es-tablish the network close tothe level that Mr. Martin en-visioned before his passing.We now feel confident thatwe have a great group ofpeople and resources to moveforward with his vision.

The Native American Cul-tural Association of Oregonis currently procuring fundsto get registered with thestate of Oregon and the fed-eral government. We are try-ing to raise $3,600, the total

cost to complete all filings andpay all fees.

We are focusing on LaneCounty, but are willing towork together with NativeAmerican cultural groupsaround the state. If we canbe of any help, please do nothesitate to contact us. We lookforward to hearing from you,and thank you for all you aredoing for the Native commu-nity.

Sincerely, DeanArmstrong, Native Ameri-can Cultural Association ofOregon. 541-653-7983.

This month has produceda variety of cold weather,including rain, wet snow, drysnow, fog and very cold tem-peratures. This reminds meof how vulnerable livestockcan be in cold, wet weather.

As old folks used to sayabout cattle and winter,“February will shake ’em andMarch will take ’em.”

Our December weatherwas at times like Marchweather. So here is some keyinformation about feedinglivestock in the winter.

Livestock in general isvery well equipped to handle

cold weather. Mother Naturegives these animals a thickhair coat that keeps them wellprotected down to 18 degrees.

When it dips below thiscritical temperature, animalswill need to burn extra energyto stay warm.

However, if animals getsoaked by a wet, heavy snow,and their coat is wet to theskin, then the critical tempera-ture may be reached at 59 de-grees.

If the coat stays wet andnight time temperatures plum-met into the teens, this com-bination can be deadly.

Ranchers can help theirlivestock combat these coldtemperatures by increasing

the amount of forage fed andby increasing the quality ofthe forage.

Digesting forages takesenergy and a by-product ofthis process is heat. This heatgenerated from breakingdown fibrous feedstuffs canreally help animals on cold,winter nights.

Another strategy for deal-ing with the cold weather isto feed cattle in the late af-ternoon.

The heat from digestionpeaks a few hours after ameal, so offering meals in theevening can help cattle copewith the cold nighttime tem-peratures.

Using cattle as an example,

a general rule to follow iswhen temperatures drop be-low the critical temperaturefor livestock of 18 degrees,cattle owners need to increasethe amount of feed providedby about 1 percent for everydegree below 18 degrees indry cold. If there is wind orrain then you need to increaseeven more.

Also, as many ranchers al-ready know, the thinner thecow gets, the more feed re-quired to keep her warm.

Keeping cows in goodbody condition not only keepsthem warm in the winter, butsets them up to have ahealthy calf in the spring.

Tribal Utilities has casketsavailable for purchase bytribal members. These aremostly made by carpenters atOmak or Yakama.

Tribal Utilities makes theouter boxes. Utilities will alsomake caskets, in cases where

the Omak caskets from theYakama builders are not theright size.

Lynn is thinking a localperson could take over car-pentry work, creating a smallbusiness, instead of havingthe tribes bring in the Omakcaskets. The Omak casketsare $1,000; and others fromYakama are available for$550. The outer box costs$260.

Recent UAS funding toSOAR is at $3 million.

There are three FAA-designated UAS test areasin the state of Oregon:Warm Springs, Tillamookand Pendleton.

The funding would beshared among the three.

The Kah-Nee-Ta devel-opment would be an im-portant part of the tribes’UAS program.
