Big freshmen class triggers enrollment cap at NCS School starts with 28 freshman; 76 total students MISSION — With a huge incoming class of freshmen, Nixyaawii Community School has set a cap on enrollment and started a waiting list for students that want to come to the charter school on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. On the first day of school there was a total of 76 students — 29 freshmen, 18 sophomores, 18 juniors and 11 seniors. Ninety percent of the students are Native Americans. There may be room for a few seniors since that is the smallest class but "absolutely no more freshmen" and any new sophomores and juniors will be determined by an eligibility committee, according to NCS Principal Ryan Heinrich. The current school building, once a matrix of small offices and cubicles, is bursting at the seams now and a new Education facility is at least four or five years away. There has been talk from planners about the school moving into the old Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center once the new clinic is operational, but Heinrich would rather hold out for a "real school" that students and the community can identify with. In at least one way, though, a big enrollment is a good problem to have. The school's budget was based on 55 students so the additional 20, based on state school funding per-student formula, means an additional $140,000. The school was able to hire a half-time
teacher and expanded instructional aid hours from 4 to 7.5 per day. Extra money will also be used to increase technology. More students means the need for more Chrome Books, the laptop-style computers assigned to individuals. The building was renovated three years ago to create larger classroom spaces, but it's not enough to handle all the extra bodies this year. So, another wall is being removed to make the computer lab and a storage room into a larger classroom. "That's the last wall we can remove," Heinrich said. The new classroom will need new technology in the form of another Promethium board, projector and document camera. The increased number of students has been a "scheduling nightmare," Heinrich said. NCS Administrative Assistant Carrie Phinney, who prepared the schedules, readily agrees. "It was a challenge to create enough classes to divide the freshmen in half so we didn't have 29 freshmen in one class. We can't fit 29 students in any of our classrooms," she said. "We juggled to create two freshmen classes of everything so there are two core classes most periods that freshmen can take. Before we were able to keep all the freshmen, all the sophomores, and all the

Nixyaawii teachers and classes MISSION — In addition to the core classes — language arts, math, science and social studies — the Nixyaawii Community School (NCS) curriculum includes a variety of other courses and electives. Key among them are Native language classes, which are coordinated through the Education Department of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation . This year there are two beginning and one intermediate Umatilla classes and two Nez Perce classes. Headquartered at the Nixyaawii campus, Fred Hill will teach Umatilla language and tribal history, as well as dancing-and-drumming, which this year has 14 students — a dozen boys and two girls — signed up. Other language teachers include Mildred Quaempts, beginning Umatilla; Syreeta Azure, Nez Perce; and Willie Sigo, Ichishkin. The NCS faculty includes: Chelsea Hallam (enrolled Klamath) - a new instructor who will teach language arts and communications; Zack Brandsen - social studies, financial literacy and construction (new class to focus on basic woodworking activities such as building maintenance, hanging pictures and white boards, helping a contractor remove an interior wall, building picnic tables, etc.); Jewel Kennedy - science and horticulture; Zach Gaulke —math and computer science (Gaulke is introducing drones into his science class); Ken Mayfield —Physical education; Michelle Van Pelt —ASPIRE (college prep for juniors and seniors), Careers (exploratory for juniors and seniors), Success 101 (financial and budgeting basics for all sophomores), art, and Crow' s Shadow printmaking, and; Seanne Perkins — hired to teach afternoon classes to accommodate the large enrollment.

ews New rules set size, site standards for election signs MISSION — New rules for election signs, including when and where they can be posted, have been adopted in the Land Development Code (LDC). The Board of Trustees (BOT) for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation passed a motion July 24 that updates, clarifies and modemizes the LDC, according to J.D. Tovey, the Tribes' Planning Director. Election signs may now b e p l aced 45 days before the election, so this year signs are allowed to be posted as early as Saturday, Sept. 30. Election signs must be removed within 15 days after the election, which is Wednesday, Nov. 29. Election signs on p r i v ate property may be a maximum of 16-square-feet per side, and must have permission of the property owner for placement. Signs on private property need to be secured to posts, fences, buildings, etc. Signs on private property should not cause an unsafe driving condition such as blocking

the vision from a driveway. Election signs are also allowed in the rights-of-way, but they may only be a maximum of four square-feet per side.
They must be at least five feet away from the edge of pavement and should not cause an unsafe driving condition. They may not be placed in such a manner that
would require any digging, excavation or post drivers. These smaller signs should be affixed to wooden or metal spikes that can be hand pressed into the ground or by using a mallet. Election signs should not create a chained message, such as one word on a number of signs that reads as a single message. Also new in the code is the ability for the BOT to declare public squares. Currently, election signs are not allowed on any lands owned by the Tribe, such as July Grounds, Nixyaawii Governance Center grounds, parks, etc. There is now a process that the BOT can designate "public squares" where signs may be placed. As of this w r i t i ng, none have yet been designated, but should one be declared then it will be announced to all candidates. If anyone has any questions concemi ng election signs, or w i s h t o r e p or t concerns about a sign, contact the Tribal Planning Office at 541-429-3099.
Ballot won't include marijuana referendum MISSION — There will be no referendums to legalize marijuana or purchase tribal member life insurance on the Nov. 14 ballot for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Leila Spencer, who is leading proponents of the two referendum measures, told the Election Commission on Sept. 5 that she likely will have to start over in her effort to get the questions — about pot and life insurance — in front of voters. The referendum prospects came about following a General Council meeting at which a motion passed 44-4-0 to direct GC Chairman Alan Crawford, as representative of the General Council membership, to take the proposal to the Board of Trustees. According to people at the BOT Tribal Session — closed to all but Tribal members and invited staff — Crawford reluctantly
made a motion on behalf of GC members to put two referendums on the November ballot. No one seconded Crawford's motion so the issue died. After the meeting, Spencer said that taking the question to the Board was a courtesy. "We don't need the Board," she said. "The Board approved the Election Code and gave the Election Commission regulatory authority. They (BOT) don't need to be involved." However, when Spencer and several others met with the Election Commission Sept. 5, they learned that the CTUIR Constituti on, w h i c h s u p ersedes the Election Code, is silent with regards to referendums and initiatives. That is to say the Constitution does not even mention referendums and initiatives so it follows that there is no policy or procedure for how such an election action could occur.
'There is no way for our people, besides a General Election, to get to consensus. There is no path for that.' — Leila Spencer
E lection Commission member M i chelle Thompson said the Commission can only follow the Election Code and it only speaks to amendments — not referendums or initiatives. "The only thing we have is amendments," she said. "All others go through the Board." (As an example, the Board through resolution has in the past placed Wyit View housing and W i l d h orse Casino liquor sales as referendums on ballots. )
Spencer said she was frustrated by the situation. She called it "disrespectful to a General Council decision" and said the Board of Trustees was finding ways to "hold us down." " There is no w a y f o r o u r p e o p l e, b esides a General Election, to get t o consensus," Spencer said. "There is no path for that." Andrea Hall, Election Commission chair, said that even though it has regulatory authority, the Election Commission is regulated by the Election Code. Further, she said, "the BOT still has ultimate authority." "None of us w ants to see voter silence," Hall said, "but we have to follow the process." Spencer and other referendum advocates asked the Election Commission if it could make a recommendation to the Election Commission on a e 25A

ews 3 master plan options being considered I ILP eheeht ' eee • tr i t ~
MISSION - The Mission Community Master Plan Project is making a lot of headway. There have been two op en h ouses - the first on July 14 and t h e second on Aug. 3 - to get feedback on potential options for future development such as community facilities, housing, business development, parks, and street amenities. C onsultants presented three alter n tive development concepts for the Mission Area. The informal format included several poster boards presenting distinct elements of each alternative, a preference survey, and the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback verbally or in writing. The open house was attended
by 28 people. Some of the feedback provided by attendees included: Roads/trails: overall support for pathways, extension of trails, and making them usable year-round. Housing: Strong preference for larger lots, and more detached single family residential, some support for clustered homes, and support for a full variety of homes in size and affordability, and some liked Concept 3 because the development was set back from the main streets. Community s p aces: Attendees expressed a clear need for more gathering and multipurpose indoor and outdoor spaces that have ki t chens, div i d able spaces, and can accommodate about 200

people. Parks: There was a desire to see the parks we have now be improved through cleanliness, safety and improved play equipment. Other items that people commented on: There is support for improvements of Lucky 7, the site at the northwest corner of the Mission/Highway 331 intersection may be too close to the railroad tracks for housing, and desire to not build in the flood plain. There were also a few comments concerning climate change adaptation that should be addressed in all our tribal documents and plans. We appreciate these comments from the community, and the Planning Office and the consultants working on the project are taking these ideas and suggestions to create a hybrid that takes the best of all of them along with new ideas. This will be ready to be presented for further public comment and feedback on Sept. 19. Time and location will be announced in the next couple of weeks. At any time, if there are any comments, concerns, or general questions concerning this project, or any d evelopment project, do not hesitate to contact the Tribal Planning Of fice at 1-541-429-3099. The Mission Community Master Plan Project is funded by a Transportation G rowth M a n agement grant f ro m t h e State of Oregon Department of Transportation and the Department of Land Conservation and D evelopment. The goal of the grant is to provide technical assistance to communities to plan for

itoria s The silver lining A metaphor for optimism, the sliver lining is defined as a comforting or hopeful prospectin the midst of difficulty. The idiom "Every cloud has a silver lining" may be no more profound right now than ever with the skieschoked with smoke. As the CUJ went to press, the Columbia River Gorge was aflame (look at the photos on the next page.)But when the smoke clears, we can hope, the sunlight will burst through the clouds and shine down on the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

The question is ... what is in a referendum? ince we first learned to speak, we have
ever, one could argue a precedent was set when the Board of Trustees posed a question in a refer-
asked questions. When is dinner? Why do I have to go to bed now? Ar e we there yet? We ask questions to elicit a response for information.
The General Council is the body politic of our Confederation. When we gather for a General Council meeting, we expect communication to be a two way street. Not only do we get information from our elected officials, but also we ask questions with the expectation we will get answers. Recently the General Council wanted to ask questions to be answered by the full Tribal membership during our general election in November. As many folks read in the East Oregonian, the General Council called for a referendum — a general vote by the electorate on a series of questions - related to marijuana and life insurance for all Tribal members. Our Constitution states the powers and rights of t he General Council : Article V — General Council
SECTION 2. The General Council shall elect its own officers, and shall also elect the members and o fficers of the Board of Trustees, as hereinafter provided; and the General Council shall have the power to demand reportsfr om i ts officers and from the said Board, and to recall its officers or the members of the Board, as hereinafter provided. Furthermore, the General Council may vote on proposed constitutional amendments pursuant to Article VIII. H o w e v er, there is no specific language that sets out a process for the General Council to refer a question to the Tribal membership for
Confederated Umatilla Journal 6A
There will be bumps along the way to building our Nation. This is a big bump. a general election vote. Yet, our election code does have some indication that this may occur. SECTION 2.05 Conflicts of Interest D. Members of the Commission may not make a motion, second a motion or vote on a General Council matter that may be placed on a Tribal election ballot. In addition, there is language that references how vote counting is managed.
SECTION 3.12 Counting of Votes C....the Election Commission may designate
two (2) representatives to observe the counting of the ballots, one to represent each side fothe question under consideration.
endum regarding whether to build at Wyit View during the 2013 general elections. All this leads to more questions than answers.
Who has the power to place referendums before the General Council? The constitution is silent on this issue. The powers of the constitution derive from the consent of the General Council.
It could be argued that any power not specifically granted to elected officials is a reserved power for the General Council. The ideal of individual sovereignty comes into play. When we were stood up as humans, we could dictate how we lead our lives as individuals. And as a community we can set norms and expectations in accordance with Creator's laws. The General Council voted to bring issues to the Tribal membership in the November election. The General Council Chairman made a motion, in a Board of Trustees meeting, for these questions to be placed on the ballot for consideration. The Board took no action. And while there is no direction provided as to how to proceed, in the constitution or election code, these questions are dead for now. Our modern form of government is still rela-
tively young, - only 68 years old. There will be bumps along the way to building our Nation. This is a big bump. We must now chart a path forward to ensure the voices and questions of the General Council are heard, understood and acted upon.
Of course, these could be interpreted to be related only to constitutional amendments and not i ssues outside the scope of the constitution. H o w -

Columbia Gorge on fire CASCADE LOCKS, Ore. — Oregon State Police is asking for help finding other suspects who were using fireworks along the Eagle Creek trail on Saturday, sparking a wildfire that is burning more than 10,000 acres in the Columbia River Gorge. As of press time on Sept. 6, the Eagle Creek Fire was uncontained and had started several spot fires, including one burning on the Washington side of the river. State troopers identified a 15-year-old from Vancouver, Wash. as a suspect in the fire. Officials said they think he was with other people when the fire broke out. No one has been formally charged in the incident. If you have any information on who started the fire, or heard fireworks along the Eagle Creek Trail or in the Punchbowl Falls areas between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, call state police at 503-375-3555. The fire has forced hundreds to evacuate their homes in several Columbia Gorge communities.
0 UnlnS Gc members have reasonable expectationofprivacy eneral Council Members gathered Aug. 17 and during that meeting a motion was made to put forth two referendums onto the ballot for consideration by the voting members of this Tribe. I know this because I attended General Council and the Tribal Session following up on this matter. I also know this because the East Oregonian reported on it. The reporting of our General Council matters and votes to our neighboring town by a General Council Member is troubling for me as a Tribal Member. When we step into that forum • O we rs; 'r; as T r i bal Members there is a 'o' reasonable expectation of privacy i, , ' for everyone attending. Who 4e' breached this construct and why? S ll ! As a reporter I can understand the feeling of frustration when being stonewalled by CTUIR officials who seem unwilling to share information. The desperation to gather and share information can rise when you feel your Board of Trustees members do not have your best interest in mind. The matter was put forth by the General Council membership to a Tribal Session with the BOT in a series of moves that were aimed at passing some referendums that would significantly change our way of life on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Possibly due to the assumed resistance of the BOT when it comes to matters put forth by the People or due to a desire to include all affected parties, whoever shared this information with the town newspaper must have felt it necessary to get the word out to everyone in this area.

While I can understand the urge to share information in order to further a cause for which you feel much passion, what I cannot understand or condone is breaching the trust of fellow Tribal Members. The story that ran in the EO did have the results of the Tribal Session in it, however, it did not include discussion between the BOT and Tribal Members in attendance. The reason it did not include these things is because it occurred in a closed session meant for Tribal Members. Hopefully the BOT will decide to share their reasoning behind the decision to not second the motion because currently right now there is only speculation and assumption among the People. The decision to discuss the matter during Tribal Session could possibly be called into question here,
Confederated Umatilla Journal
but cannot be changed after the fact. Tribal Members have the option to reach out to their public officials to gain more understanding on the matter but if their officials would willingly and freely offer this to them via CTUIR communication vessels it would clear up a lot of miscommunication currently happening. While I can understand the urge to share information in order to further a cause for which you feel much passion, what I cannot understand or condone is breaching the trust of fellow Tribal Members. If a matter is of utmost importance and requires a wider net of communication to be cast then so be it, but to not warn or inform your fellow General Council Members that you plan to do so is a violation of an unspoken agreement between us as fellow People and to the direct construct of a Tribal Member forum. What has troubled me deeply about this occurrence is not that the information was printed in a paper read largely by Umatilla County residents who know nothing of CTUIR besides what they see during Round-Up, but that now Tribal Members must be
concerned with what private votes and discussion will be leaked to the general public. If the need to share our sensitive and private Tribal Member business with the general public is indeed necessary I believe that a person who plans to distribute our votes and motions to non-Tribal Members should announce their intentions to others in the chambers before the meeting begins. This is the only way that fairly allows other Tribal Members the opportunity to object to this practice, leave or provide input to what is reasonable to share and what isn' t. Again, my issue is not with allowing access to these important matters because they will have effects on us all, but that the sanctity of our private space was violated by a Member of our own Tribe with no forewaming or discussion.

On the mound, he often referred to himself as FerBrando. He continued to develop his craft as a pitcher and excelled for the Pendleton Buckaroos. Brandon earned the nickname "Giant" because despite his small stature, he lived his life and played his game big. During his senior year, Brandon earned all-star selections within the Intermountain Conference and was also selected to play in the State Metro-League All-star game. Brandon earned multiple varsity letters for his athletics, including the 1994 Mark Leach MVP Award for baseball. Brandon then went on to play baseball for Mt. Hood Community College.

He especially cared for his children, niecesand his nephew. Brandon was dedicated to attending his family's athletic events and made sure they knew he was present to support their efforts. Brandon was also an avid outdoorsman. He was frequently in the mountains, hunting or "cruising." He was also rarely without his fishing pole stashed in his car as he could hardly resist being on the river when the fish were running. Brandon is preceded in death by his father, Chester "Sparky" Spencer, uncles Warren Spencer, Vernon "Babe" Spencer and Lester "Bub" Spencer, and aunt Marilyn 'Mar' Spencer. He is survived by his mother, Ruth Spencer; brothers, Brent and Brad Spencer; children, Aubry Spencer, Kaitlyn Spencer, Korie Spencer and Chaynne Spencer, and his nieces and nephew.

McConville enters not guilty plea to charge of murder PORTLAND — Paris McConville, a member of the Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Indian Reservation, entered a plea of not guilty Aug. 30 to charges of murder and unlawful use of a weapon. A grand j u r y handed up the twoc ount i n d i c t m e n t against McConville, 3 4, after sh e t o l d Portland Police she k illed h e r f r i e n d , Ryan Thompson, inParis McConville side his Southwest Portland apartment. McConville's sister, Shana Radford, implored people to be "compassionate and empathetic." Radford said McConville's "pain and struggles" have been well documented. "She has spent her entire life not feeling like she belonged anywhere, which is how a lot of transgenders feel," Radford said. Radford said McConville has suffered as a result of the "stigma for a male-tofemale" transgender, which, she said, is tolerated less than in female-to-male instances. In such cases, Radford said, individuals are susceptible to behavioral issues, substance abuse, and violence. "There are a lot of layers," Radford said.
Radford, who knew Thompson, called the murder a tragedy. "I feel like we can use this as an opportunity to educate our own community, so our own people can understand these were definite symptoms that she did not feel like she belonged and was not accepted for who she was or who she is," Radford said of her sister. R adford said i t i s i m p o r t an t t h a t transgenders and others have access to culturally sensitive mental and behavioral health services. "I hope we don't all place judgment on Paris right away," Radford said. M cConv i l l e a t t e n d e d P e n d l e t o n schools and graduated from Pilot Rock High School. According to reports, court documents showed that McConville tumed herself in to police and said she had killed a person in self-defense. A probable cause affidavit states that McConville gave police a key to the apartment where the body of Thompson was found in a bathtub. A med i cal e x a m i ner d e t e r m i n e d that Thompson died of strangulation. Documents also say Thompson had stab wounds to his arm and a bl unt f or ce injury to the back of his head. McConville told police she strangled Thompson during an altercation and later stabbed him as well. A knife and blood were found near a bed in the living room of the apartment, according to court documents. Her next court date is in mid-october.

Split BOT vote removes McKay from F8 W Commission MISSION — In a split vote, the Board of Trustees removed Damon McKay from the Pish and Wil d l ife Commission on Aug. 7 for his illegal taking of two bison cows in March. Following a hearing in late July, the Pish and Wildlife Commission made the recommendation for his removal to the Board of Trustees for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. On July 13 McKay pleaded guilty in Tribal Court to two counts of "hunting during a closed season." He shot the two
8A
bison cows, during a hunt in Montana, on the day after the cow season ended. The season was open for bull buffalo on the day the cows were killed. Pish and Wildlife Commission Chairman Jeremy Wolf, who also serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees, made the motion and v o ted y es with BOT Secretary Kat Brigham and member-at-large Woodrow Star. General Council Chairman Alan Crawford voted no and member-at-large Aaron Ashley abstained. Wolf said the decision was difficult
and likely will prompt a review of the Pish and Wildlife Code. Wolf said McKay did not intentionally violate the Pish and Wildlife Code. He said there should be some leeway in determining appropriate action in such cases. Whether or not a v i olation is done maliciously or accidentally should be considered, he said. "It at least deserves the question to be posed to the Commission," Wolf said. However, Wolf told the Board, "As written today, there is no room for de-
Confederated Umatilla Journal
liberation on a guilty plea." Tribal Prosecutor Kyle Daley fi l ed the charges as violations rather than crimes. McKay was sentenced to $1,000 fine for each of the two counts, and his right to hunt buffalo was suspended for one year. Daley told the Court that as a Pish and Wildlife Commission member, McKay s hould have been aw are of h u n t i n g season dates. Additionally, Daley said, McKay was the "hunt boss" and should have been able to tell the difference between a cow and a bull buffalo.

Application for new salmon farm on holdamid mass escape Cla l l a m more than 122,000 fish from intact pens.
S EQUIM, Wash. (AP)
County officials have put on hold aquaculture company's application to build a new marine salmon farm in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. County planning manager Steve Gray says Cooke Aquaculture asked that a Sept. 7 hearing for a project permit be postponed as it d e als w it h th e m a ss escape of thousands of fish at its other facility. Cooke'snet-pen holding about 305,000 Atlantic salmon in Skagit County failed Aug. 19. Thousands of the non-native fish escaped into local rivers and waterways. The state says Cooke has recovered
Ad deadline for the October CUJ is Sept. 19. This includes all political ads.
The Lummi tribe says its anglers have caught another 20,000 fish. Cooke is proposing to build 14 floating circular net pens about 1 1i2 miles (1.61 kilometers) offshore. It would move current operations from Port A n geles Harbor and increase production by 20 percent. Over the weekend Gov. Jay Inslee placed a moratorium on net pen permits until an investigation into the mishap is completed.

Zumwalt Prairie paintings on exhibit Sept. 30 at Arts Center P ENDLETON - For M a l colm Phinney, Wallow a County is a painter's paradise. Living where the land is so diverse with mountains, canyons, deep forests and open prairies provides him with endless inspiration for his art. The prairies feature prominently in a new body of work on exhibit in the East Oregonian Gallery at the Pendleton Center for the Arts on North Main Street. The new series of paintings focus specifically on the Zumwalt Prairie, North America's largest remaining grassland of its type. The Department of the Interior has designated4,400 acres of the 51 square-mile reserve as a National Natural Landmark, due to its intact bunch grass habitats and intense concentration of wildlife. Phinney finds the area ripe for artistic exploration. "With its subtle land movements and nuanced color shifts, it is a very challenging and exciting subject.

UMATILLA — Eleven-year-old Sunhawk Thomas, dressed in breastplate, beaded cuffs, bells and an eagle-feather headdress, danced through the grass in front of his Mother and an inmate friend. An enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Thomas was among more than 50 guests who gathered with 63 inmates at the Two Rivers Correctional Institution's secondannual pow-wow Aug. 19. Thomas, who has relatives on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, sat quietly while his mother, Wynema Thurman, visited with Eagle Eye Leonard. Sunhawk has been dancing since the age of 5, a year before he won the title of Little Warrior Celilo. He's competing again for Little Warrior at National Indian Days in Toppenish. Sunhawk, whose Indian name is I'LikLik (hawk in Okanagan), isn't real talkative but he's observant and was ready to dance when it was time.
Eagle Eye Leonard, 41, from the wolf clan of the Eastern Band of Cherokee in Oklahoma and North Carolina, has been in prison since he was 18 in 1999. "I' ve been incarcerated pretty much all my life," Leonard said, holding a beaded knife he'd made for the pow-wow. It was one of many items he made to share at the event. Leonard's calendar is marked Dec. 13, 2022 — the date he will be released from this stint on two counts of first-degree robbery, kidnapping, and two weapon "enhancement" charges as a felon. He went to Walla Walla State Prison as an 18 year old from 1994-98. He was out three months before he was caught for the robbery and kidnapping. Leonard said he found himself messed up in gangs as a teen-ager and then, when his grandfather and role model died, his life went further downhill. Today, though, he's focused on dancing and culture.

Experts strongly urge creation of wills robates are confusing. The process can be more complex in Indian Country. If you own an interest in an allotment or land held in trust by the United States there are federal and tribal laws that limit inheritance or probate of trust lands. Probate of trust lands is subject to the U.S. Department of Interior Office of Hearings and Appeals. As an example of how complicated probates are, the BIA has a 41-page probate process that looks like a chemical compound chart. On the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the process usually starts when family members come to the Land Probate or Acquisition Programs in the Department of Economic and Community Development. "They come in and say'Mom died, how do we get the probate settled?'" said Koko Hufford, Land Project Manager. "It doesn't change whether there is a will or not, it still goes through probate." However, having a will makes things a whole lot smoother. First, though, the family would arrive — carrying a will if there is one — with a death certificate and completed questionnaire about family history. "It used to be the BIA tried to help fill it out, but that' s not the way it functions now," Hufford said. "Now it' s all on you." A file is opened and, if it is determined there is land on this reservation, Umatilla becomes the home agency. If there are no potential heirs, an appraisal is needed for fair market value at the time of death and the CTUIR will exercise its option to purchase. Also if the deceased owned allotments on other reservations then additional appraisals may need to be completed. If there are Umatilla tribal members heirs, then they inherit the property and no appraisal is necessary. Let's assume there are no Umatilla heirs. Once the appraisal is back, the information is pushed up to an Administrative Law Judge. The judge will notify potential heirs and have a hearing and make a determination. That determination will consider whether or not there is a will, if there are heirs, the percentages of ownership, fair market value, and the option to purchase within

the CTUIR Inheritance Code. The judge can accept all or part of the information in his determination. If nobody appeals within the 30-day time period, the CTUIR proceeds with the option to purchase. An Option to Purchase is placed in the Confederated Umatilla Journal as a public notice. Readers can usually find those notices on Page 10A each month. "We are very aggressive and hardly miss any," Hufford said. Interest holders have 45 days in which to agree to the offer. Once the purchase is approved, a letter is sent to the BIA Superintendent certifying that money is in a lock box for the purchase. A judge makes a final decision and then the title transfers to the CTUIR. "The people get their money and we' re all happy," Hufford said. It is so important to do pre-estate planning, she said, to decide who the property should go to, whether there may be a gift deed and if a life estate should be reserved. With a life estate, the person who gifts the deed can
get the income from the property — through grazing or wheat land or right-of-way, etc. — until the day they die. If there is no will, Hufford said, the probate process could drag out three to seven years.
Why? Because it takes so long to dig up the information necessary to complete the process. Information could include marriages, divorce decrees, children, wives, ex-wives, people living together, etc. "If we don't know the potential heirs we have to do that research to complete the probate package which is submitted to the Administrative Law Judge for initial probate hearing is our main focus," Hufford said. Probates are sensitive issues. Hufford and the tribal program staff can't give legal advice. Individuals certainly have a right to a court hearing, but they often become frustrated because the CTUIR can't take their issue up or act as their attorney. Rather, Hufford said, estate planning before probate could alleviate a lot of frustration for families.
Much has changed with land ownership since 1880's ribal members owning interests in trust allotments on the Umatilla Indian Reservation will receive legal services for estate planning. Mary Guss, an attorney with experience in Indian probate, has been hired to provide these services. (See other story
on page 16A.) Koko Hufford, the Tribal Land Manager, urges Tribal landowners to take advantage of this service to ensure that their land passes to their chosen heirs upon their death. Under the Treaty of 1855, the Umatilla Indian Reservation was reserved by the Tribe for the "exclusive use" of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla Tribes. When the Reservation was held in the Tribes' name there was no need for inheritance laws for the land because the Tribe wouldn't die. A c c ording to long time Tribal attorney, Dan Hester,

a ll that changed w hen th e U m a t i l l a Indian Reservation was allotted under laws Congress passed in 1885 and 1888 that only applied to the Umatilla Indian Reservation. U n der these laws, Tribal members received allotments of between 40-160 acres. And, because individual Tribal member landowners would die, Congress adopted Oregon law to govern the probate of the allotments upon the death of the landowner. Much has changed since the 1880's. A llotments once owned solely by th e allottee have been passed down to family members resulting in f r actionated ownership of the allotments. Recently, the Department of Interior ranked the Umatilla Indian Reservation as the 28th most fractionated reservation. The Board of Trustees has enacted a CTUIR Inheritance Code and Congress has enacted the American Indian Probate Reform Act to p revent further fractionation. I n ad di-

She recalled that the late Phil Sanchez, when he was BIA Superintendent here, used to bring families in to read wills. Today, because the OST office here handles questions of any Indian throughout the United States, people "can't just walk in any day and say I want to make my will." Especially for Umatilla Tribal Members, it's more likely their name will be put on a list for later contact. Moore doesn't like that process.

"In my opinion there needs to be someone available here all the time because sometimes things need to be done 'today' and can't wait until tomorrow," she said. OST holds IIM accounts for Indians with land and income. That income can be generated in a number of ways, including through leases and right-of-ways.

nswers o WHAT IS A PROBATE? 25 CFR part 15 defines a Probate as:
"Probate means the legal process by which applicable tribal, Federal, or State law that affects the distribution of a decedent's estate is applied in order to: Determine the heirs; Determine the validity of wills and determine devisees; Determine whether claims against the estate will be paid from trust personality *; and
Order the transfer of any trust or restricted land or trust personality to the heirs, devisees, or other persons or entities entitled by law to receive them." *For purposes of this guide "trust personalty" will be referred to as "trust funds" throughout the remainder of this guide. In otherwords, when an Ai/AN passes away and owned trust or restricted lands and/or trust funds at the time of death, there must be a way of transferring the trust lands/funds to the deceased person's heirs or to whoever is to take ownership under the terms of a will. OHA will determine what trust lands/funds the deceased person owned, determine the deceased person's legal heirs or devisees and order distribution of the trust or restricted lands or funds to the appropriate persons.

CTUIR Enrollment Office Can Store Your Will The Enrollment Office has an important task: Securely storing your will.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs previously provided this service, but are no longer a resource. Around 50 wills are currently stored in the NGC vault, according to Toni Minthorn, Director of the Enrollment Office. A will brought to the Enrollment Office is placed in a sealed envelope in the presence of the will writer or his/her designee. The name of the will's owner is written on the outside of the envelope and a cover sheet is created to identify the executor of the will or who the will is to be turned over to at the will writer's passing.

HOW DO I FIND OUT THE STATUS OF A PROBATE?
You may get information about the status of an Indian probate by contacting any BIA agency or regional office, an OST Fiduciary Trust Officer, OHA, or the Trust Beneficiary Call Center in OST. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PROBATE ORDER IS ISSUED?
If the probate decision or order is issued by an ADM, you have 30 days from the decision mailing date to file a written request for a de novo review. If the probate decision or order is issued by a judge, you have 30 days from the decision mailing date to file a written request for rehearing. After a judge's decision on rehearing, you have 30 days from the mailing date of the decision to file an appeal, in accordance with 43 CFR parts 4 and 30. When an interested party files a timely request for de novo review, a request for rehearing, or an appeal, we will not pay claims, transfer title to land, or distribute trust personalty until the request or appeal is resolved. If no interested party files a request or appeal within the 30 day deadlines, BIA will wait at least 15 additional days before paying claims, transferring title to land, and distributing trust personalty. At that time: The LTRO will change the land title records for the trust and restricted land in accordance with the final decision or order; and We will pay claims and distribute funds from the IIM account in accordance with the final decision or order

t h e CPUT Inheritance Code
7ribes contract with wiff writer n expert in will writing for Native Americans has been contracted to provide the free service to members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The goal of the program, according to the contract between the CTUIR Office of Legal Counsel and Mary Guss, are to encourage that trust property be devised without further fractionalization or leaving trust status through BIA probate process. The program provides individual clients with l egal services that result in completing and filing of a will and estate-planning documents to be stored with the CTUIR Enrollment Office. Guss, an Arizona attorney, said she is "enough of a nerd on probate that I wrote a how-to book about it." According to the contract, Guss will visit the Umatilla Indian Reservation as needed to work with Tribal members on probate documents, and will be here for f ive week-long outreach sessions with the first tw o scheduled Sept. 25-Oct. 4 and Nov. 5-15. Three workshops scheduled next year will be Jan. 31-Feb. 9, April 9-18, and June 18-27. It is hoped that the workshops, outreach and service will prompt at least 20 individuals to complete new or updates of estate or end-of-life documents, including powers of attorney, medical-decision making, and living wills. "It's set up so individual enrolled tribal members come in and get mainly will written," said Goss, who spent 30 years in private practice in Ketchikan, Alaska, with the last 17 of those years running her own office.
'The idea of all of these documents is to try to understand what people want to do with their property and structure it so they get the results they are hoping for.' "The idea of all of these documents is to try to understand what people want to do with their property and structure it so they get the results they are hoping for," said Guss, who is licensed to practice law in Oregon, Alaska and Arizona. She envisions tribal members making an appointment that initially will explain options before a roughdraft will is prepared. It will be mailed to the tribal member for perusal before meeting again within the 10-day period. "That gives them time to think about their decisions if they aren't sure about them the first time we talk. Once they see the rough draft, changes can be made," Guss said. The second session with the tribal member will focus on finishing, printing and signing the document. "We want it to be final before I leave that session," Guss said. Guss noted the unique Inheritance Code of the Umatilla Tribes that makes it easier for the CTUIR to buy land
Mary Goss
rather than have it inherited by a non-tribal member. "When I went back to school I never thought I'd be specializing in writing Indian wills," said Guss. "But I'm enough of a nerd that it fascinates me because I get to work with real people. We talk about things it's not the easiest thing in the world to talk about and I can help them accomplish what they want to do with their property."

sively pursues its option to purchase land that is not inherited by tribal members. Hester used as an example an Indian landowner who dies "intestate," which means without a will, but owns land on the Umatilla and the Yakama Reservations, and has four children, two of which are Umatilla and two are Yakama (this example assumes the landowner had no surviving spouse). Un der the law of intestate succession, each of the four children would receive a '/4 interest in all of the lands owned by their parent at the time of his death. And, under applicable law, both the CTUIR and the Yakama Nation could prevent the transfer of the interests to non-members of their Tribe
by the payment of fair m arket value. However, with proper estate planning and a will, the landowner could have b equeathed the Yakama lands to h i s Yakama children and the Umatilla lands to his Umatilla children without any ability of the Tribes to prevent the transfer. "With our Inheritance Code, the Tribe may buy out the interest of the Yakama children. So give your land to CTUIR children who are eligible and nobody can disturb that," Hester said. Estate planning is important to avoid conflicts that almost surely will pop up in cases of a person dying without a will. "There are a lot of reasons to employ an attorney," Hester said. "An attorney needs to be aware of where lands are
located, what IIM accounts exist, what family members are eligible heirs, and the federal and tribal inheritance laws that are applicable to these trust resources. The landowner and his or her attorney need to plan how to get the landowner's trust property to the family members or friends of his or her choosing." Development of the Inheritance Code, Hester said, was triggered in 1995 when the Tribes were negotiating renewal of a right-of-way through the Umatilla Indian Reservation with Northwest Natural Gas Pipeline. D u r in g negotiations, it was discovered that about 70 percent of the landowners of trust allotments crossed by the pipeline were not CTUIR members. " That really struck h ome w it h t h e
Board that CTUIR members were minority owners of the allotted trust land burdened by the right-of-way," Hester said. The original Inheritance Code was passed by the Board of Trustees in 1998 and approved by the Interior Department Secretary in 1999. The Board of Trustees amended the Inheritance Code in 2008. The CTUIR Inheritance Code seeks to fulfill the promise in the Treaty of 1855, w hich reserved th e U m a t i ll a I n d i a n Reservation for the exclusive use of the Confederated Tribes and its members. The policy of th e CTUIR as set forth in the In h er i t ance Code encourages tribal members to keep lands within their CTUIR families, which slows the rate of fr action alization.

Fishers learn latest at Expo in Hood River By Jeremy FiveCrows,
HOOD RIVER - Nearly 100 people attended this year's Columbia River Indian Fishers Expo in Hood River. The event, hosted by the Columbia River In t er-Tr ibal F ish C o m m i ssion (CRITFC), takes place every other year. It provides Indian fishers with information, resources and training that will help them improve river safety, fish quality, and equipment maintenance. CRITFC represents the four Columbia River treaty-fishing tribes: Umatilla, Nez Perce, Warm Springs and Yakama. This year's Expo was made possible by donations from the Nez Perce Land B uy-back Progr am, Y ak ama N a t i o n Housing Authority, Columbia River Fish-
River safety was a central theme to the Fishers Expo. Two youth at the Corps of Engineers booth learned about the danger of cold water and how musclescramp and seize up when exposed to it. They tried to pick up as many of the washers and bolts in the tray of ice water they could before the cold rendered their hands unable to grab them. The demonstration taught the importance of wearing a life jacket to stay afloat because even the strongest swimmer will eventually lose muscle control in the cold water of the Columbia River.

ers Memorial Task Force, Ocean Beauty Seafoods, Pacific Seafood, Two Rivers Fish Company, and Foods in Season. T he Expo schedule was filled w i t h workshops, panels and presentations. A panel of representatives of farmers markets from Hood River and Bellingham, Washington, discussed ways tribal fishers can access farmers markets and how best to prepare or process their catch for market sales. CRITFC harvest biologist Stuart Ellis gave a well-attended presentation on the fall fishery and what fishers can expect from it. A safety panel discussed ways to improve boating and river safety. A variety of vendors, organizations, and specialists set up booths for the Expo trade show. This included vendors selling fishing gear, marketing products and displaying fish processing equipment. The Yakama Nation Housing Authority, Nez Perce Land Buy-back Program, and Columbia River Fishers Memorial provided information and materials. Instructors gave presentations on fiberglass repair, engine maintenance and boat design. Attendees also got to tour the CRITFC Enforcement mobile response center trailer that was parked on site. CRITFC, the Yakama Nation Housing Authority, and the Native American Youth & Family Association coordinated to gather information about the housing situation and needs from attendees. The results of that questionnaire will be compiled to help determine ways to proceed to address the tribal river housing crisis. The Expo concluded with fishers getting the opportunity to meet and share their concerns with tribal elected officials. Representatives from each tribe's Fish & Wildlife Committee met with t h eir constituents for question and answer sessions.

Forest prepares to implement fall prescribed burns PENDLETON - Fire management officials on the Umatilla National Forest are preparing to implement the forest's fall prescribed burn plan, which could impact camping and hunting opportunities in several hunting units across the forest. Any associated road and trail closures will go into effect prior to and during burn operations, which typically take 2-5 days to complete. Hunters are advised to plan ahead and avoid camping in the designated prescribed burn areas during the upcoming 2017 hunting season. Frequent, low-intensity fire is essential for healthy forests and reducing the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire caused by excessive fuel buildup. Prescribed burning is an effective tool for removing excessive amounts of brush, shrubs, and trees, while also encouraging the growth of native vegetation. However, prescribed burning is highly dependent on weather conditions, which have to be within a narrow criteria window in order to be successful. Factors such as wind speed and direction, temperatures, relative humidity, and fuel moistures are all taken into consideration prior to implementing a prescribed burn operation. The Forest Service recognizes that hunting season coincides with prescribed burning season and can impact hunters, but controlled burns are necessary to reintroduce fire to the landscape and encourage healthy vegetation that will ultimately improve landscapes and forage for big game. Maps of the proposed prescribed burns are located on InciWeb at http:// i n ciweb. nwcg.gov/incident/4703/. A d d i t i onal i nformation on prescribed burning i s available on the Umatilla National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/umatilla/ or at any forest office. For more information about the Umatilla National Forest's Prescribed Burn program, please contact one of the following Forest Service personnel: Jesse Bohnsack, North Fork John Day Ranger District, 541-427-5399; Kristen Marshall, Heppner Ranger District, 541-676-2130; Tara Mackleit, Pomeroy Ranger, 509-8434676; Joby Sciarrino, Walla Walla Ranger District, 509-522-6283.

Fall fishery at mercy of unpredictable salmon returns By Stuart Ellis, Harvest Biologist for the
PORTLAND - This year has been a very unpredictable one for salmon and fisheries. Unusual river and climate conditions led to a very late spring run that didn' t conform to scientific models, making fishery management very difficult. It was also frustrating to the fishers who were eager to begin fishing. As we leave summer, the fall salmon a nd steelhead h av e a l r e ad y b e g u n their mi gration u p stream. The tribes opened the first fall Zone 6 fishery on Aug. 21. The fall fishery will l i kely be as unpredictable as the spring and summer fisheries have been this year. River temperature at Bonneville Dam passed 68' on July 12, which marks the stressful zone for salmon and steelhead. On Aug. 2, river temperature passed 72', which closed CRITFC fish sampling operations at the dam to minimize handling stress on the fish. T he tribes are also aw ar e o f a n d concerned by the low B-Index summer steelhead forecast and this year's low steelhead counts in general. From July 1 through A ug. 29, only 69,030 summer steelhead passed Bonneville Dam. This is only about 30 percent of the 10-yearaverage of 225,320 normally seen by that date. The A-Index steelhead are predicted to be 91,100 which is 87 percent of the pre-season forecast. It is too early to update the B-Index run size. The tribes will be monitoring the fishery on a weekly basis in order to provide accurate harvest estimates. The tribal fishery is highly responsive when adjustments are required to remain within tribal catch guidelines. This monitoring system, done in compliance with the terms in the 2008-2017 U.S. v. Oregon Management Agreement, works well to ensure fisheries remain within the tribes' adopted limits. Guided by a commitment to protecting the health of Columbia River salmon and steelhead and tempered by the low steelhead returns, the tribal fishery plans will follow the abundance based harvest rate framework in the U.S. v. Oregon Management agreement. Based on the current forecasted run sizes, the tribes have an allowed 30 percent harvest rate on URB fall chinook and a 13 percent harvest rate on B-Index steelhead. The tribal fishery plans include efforts to harvest as many of the harvestable fall chinook as possible given the steelhead constraints. Constraining fisheries to these rates represents a significant sacrifice on behalf of the tribes for the conservation of the resource. The harvest rate schedules used in the U.S. v. Oregon Management Agreement are abundance-based, which means that a larger percentage of a run can be caught in years with plenty of fish, but a smaller percentage in years when run sizes are low. Modifying actions based on abundance is a responsible way to minimize human impacts on fish runs, however only fish harvest is managed this way. The tribes continue to advocate for management changes to all human activi-

ties in the basin that affect salmon. "Curtailing harvest is never an easy decision but sometimes the only option tribal leaders have to protect fish during low run years," said Jaime A. Pinkham, CRITFC executive director. T his year's poor steelhead retur n was largely due to climatic conditions. As smolts, their outmigration involved navigating an in hospitable river and then enduring poor ocean conditions. This combination overwhelmed the fish's ability to handle them. While we can't do much on a regional basis to combat global climate change, restoration work can help boost steelhead and salmon numbers and survival enough to help them return in sustainable numbers. This shows the importance of addressing the salmon and steelhead's entire life cycle as is done in Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit (Spirit of the Salmon ), the t ribes' salmon restoration p l an. Th e tribes have led one of the most successful salmon supplementation programs in the Columbia river basin, which is helping to restore wild fall chinook to the Snake River. In addition, the tribes are conducting steelhead kelt reconditioning programs, in the Yakima and Snake River basins, which are returning wild female steelhead to the rivers so that they can spawn a second time. T hrough t r eaties w it h t h e U n i t e d States in 1855, the Yakama, Umatilla, Warm Springs, and Nez Perce tribes specifically reserved the right to take fish in all our usual and accustomed fishing places. Treaty signers intended that fish would be present in perpetuity. Ensuring p erpetuity is the responsibility of th i s generation. The tribes seek to manage their fisheries wisely and carefully on behalf of future generations.

Taking concrete action Prosper Picard and Charles Jones smooth out the concrete for the one of two new pathways at the Nix-Ya-Wii Warriors Memorial. The pathways are meant to help elders who are in wheelchairs getinto the memorial without struggle. Public Works also plans on taking out the gravelinside the memorial and replacingit with concrete for easier accessibility. The pathways aren't the only projects Public Works have done this summer. Other projects include water sprinkler maintenance, repairing and replacing facilities, and landscaping. CUJIPhoto Sammantha McCloud

Lavadour produces largest prints
James Lavadour's "This Good Land"
(vertical diptych), is a pair of fourcolor lithographs, individual paper size 30" x 39.5" each (installed as a vertical diptych 60" x 39.5'). An edition of 20was created. They are sold only as a pair for $f3,500.
MISSION — Artist James Lavadour, the founder of Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts, has produced his largest prints to date. Inspired to make a final collaboration with retiring Master Printer Frank Janzen, Lavadour created "The Good Land," a vertical diptych, which is a pair of four-color lithographs, which, when installed will be 60-inches by 39.5 inches. This pair of editions proved to be a labor-intensive process with stunning results, said Karl Davis, Executive Director at Crow's Shadow. Lavadour's artistic mastery is on full display in these prints with his vibrant color palette and graphically powerful mark-making. Lavadour's paintings can be seen i n Port l an d a t P D X C o n t e m p o r a r y Art and his prints are available at Crow' s Shadow. First Am erican Ar t M a g azine has an interview in the current (Summer 2017) issue about Lavadour's painting practice, written by a f o rmer Crow' s
Shadow intern. Lavadour continues to be one of the Northwest's most r evered painters, widely recognized for his captivating abstract landscapes, often interpreted from and inspired by the geography of his lifelong home on the Umatilla Indian
Reservation. Self-educated in art, Lavadour often has described the artistic process by which he came to recognize the gestures of painting and art creation as their own acts of nature, akin to those that formed the kind of landscapes his works represent. Lavadour helped establish Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts as a reservation-based nonprofit organization in 1992. Lavadour is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Eiteljorg Fellowship for Native American Fine Art in 2005, Award for Visual Arts from the Flintridge Foundation in 2004, Oregon
Governor's Arts Award in 1994 and the Be~ Bowen Award in 1991.
DID YOU KNOWV In 1908, in Winters v. United States (which is also known as the Winters Doctrine), the Supreme Court held that when the federal government sets aside lands for an Indian reservation, it reserves sufficient water to the extent that it is needed to fulfill the purposes of that reservation. The Treaty of 1855 clearly states the purposes for which the reservation was established and for which, under the Winters decision, the Tribes possess federally reserved water rights. The Treaty guaranteed exclusive use of all reservation lands to the Tribes as a homeland, "which tract for the purposes contemplated shall be held and regarded as an Indian reservation."

But the Election Commission said it was not prepared to go that far. Members did indicate that the referendum format was proper, but would not go as far as
suggesting the BOT take any action on the request. When asked by KCUW reporter JillMarie Gavin about the Tribal Session action on the referendum motion, BOT Vice-Chairman Jeremy Wolf provided an email response: "The motion and input occurred in BOT Tribal Session and General Council. Both of which are forums for Tribal Members only. I cannot justly comment for a public forum piece
for those reasons without authorization, nor do I wish to." A story appeared on the front page of the East Oregonian after the General Council meeting. The EO based its story on documents delivered to the Pendleton newspaper, presumably by a Tribal member. The EO story, and a subsequent follow-up story, prompted Gavin to pen an op-ed column that can be found on Page 6A. An editorial addressing referendums appears on Page 5A.

New Nixyaawii teacher is enrolled in Klamath Tribe MISSION — Chelsea Hallam, an enrolled member of the Klamath Tribes, is the new Language Arts teacher at Nixyaawii Community School on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Hallam, 24, is a first generation college student and graduated with a teaching degree from Portland State University. Her partner is CTUIR tribal member Lynnette Minthom, who is now the Physical Education teacher at Sherwood Heights elementary. The couple has been together for about two years and moved back to Pendleton this summer when they both landed teaching jobs. Hallam had her first year of teaching at David Douglas High School located just o u t s id e of G r e sham. Before that she attended PSU where s he and Minthorn took part in t h e

juniors together, but this year we' ve had to become more creative with the scheduling of students and the staff because of our space and size of classrooms." Typically, the school operates with five classes in each period, but now there will be at least six classes at a time. In two periods there will be seven classes going on and in one period there will be eight. Language classes are being spread out so teachers can work with smaller groups. Lunches also are creating a challenge; a t least they did on th e f i rst ful l d a y of school. Because of staffing issues, S odexo was able to only pr ovide tw o dozen lunches to the 76 kids. Heinrich fed everyone by barbecuing burgers left over from the previous day's freshman orientation. Two years ago fewer than 10 students ate lunch at school. Now, with the big influx of freshmen who can't drive, there have been as many as 45ready to eat at noon. Some students walk home, some go to Mission Market, but the younger ones mostly stick around the school. Heinrich said students had best keep their noses clean and pay attention to the work at hand if they want to stay at Nixyaawii. "We discussed with the kids that academics, behavior and attendance will be scrutinized this year because others are waiting to get into this school," he said. "People want to be here. If you show a problem with one of those three then you don't want to be here and we have a person to take your place." Already Heinrich has wondered about
Umatilla Tribal Fire Department Searching for Volunteers
Why didfreshmen choose Nixyaawii Community School? Principal Ryan Heinrich was expecting 15 to 18 freshmen this year at Nixyaawii Community School. When 28 enrolled on the first day he decided toask them why they chose the charter school on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Surprisingly of the 21 responses, only one said "sports" was the reason for coming to NCS. Heinrich paraphrased a list of reasons from what the students wrote on notecards. He's whathe came up with: Friends influenced me Four-day week Try something different Better education, better chance to go to college Stay in Mission/community Relative influence Cultural Parents made me Friends Relatives Different learning system More one-on-one Did not want to go to Pendleton High School Always wanted to come here Smaller school to help me focus Close to home Sibling attended
next year. If all the freshmen, sophomores and juniors return next year the enrollment already will be at 67. What do you do then? Cap freshmen at 8? Heinrich said the school may have to go back to the original lottery system that was used in the first year of classes in 200X.

home. Special viewing glasses were offered at Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center and at the Nixyaawii Governance Center (NGC) to watch the eclipse, which followed a path from the Oregon Coast across the state through the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to Baker City and beyond. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) Board of Trustees gave employees the opportunity to witness the eclipse by releasing from work for an hour and snacks were also provided for the special event. Most employees gathered in the grass in front of the NGC. According to information on the website greatamericaneclipse.corn, the eclipse reached Oregon at10:15 a.m. and moved intoIdaho at 10:27 a.m. When the moon's shadow began it was traveling around 3,400 miles per hour and by the time it had left the state it had slowed down to 2,900 miles per hour because it was higher in the sky. The next total solar eclipse will take place on April 8, 2024, but it will be nowhere near the state of Oregon. The 2024 eclipse will pass through Mexico, Texas and finish through the states of New York and Maine. The state of Oregon will not have another eclipse until the year 2108 and it will be along the coast.
