Cow Creek And Other Tribes Testify About Economic Opportunities On Indian Lands
"Robison testified that the Cow Creek Umpqua Tribe has seen success as one of the first Tribes in the nation to work within the newly formed Indian Trust Asset Reform Act (ITARA) to manage Tribal trust forestlands.
“Our forest management under ITARA has been a resounding success resulting in a high level of sustainable timber production generating revenue to the Tribe for its governmental programs and providing jobs to local and state industries, as well as log supply to the local timber industry,” Robison testified.
Other witnesses to the subcommittee included: Chairman Dustin Klatush of the Confederated Tribes of Chehalis Reservation in Washington; Chairman Joseph Rupnick of the Prairie Band of Potawatomi Nation in Kansas; and Vice Chairwoman Wavalene Saunders of Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona.
As a group, the witnesses supported creating simpler, streamlined processes that eliminate red tape for moving economic developments forward in Indian Country, as well as updating outdated laws that hold Tribes back from self-sufficiency."

On the Umatilla Indian Reservation near Pendleton, Oregon, sits one of the west's truly remarkable destinations, The Museum at Tamástslikt Cultural Institute.
A world class facility inside and out, Tamástslikt is the only museum on the Oregon Trail that tells the story of western expansionism from a tribal point of view. Permanent exhibits bring to life the traditions of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla Tribes, who have called the region home for 10,000 years. But the museum doesn't merely remember what has been. Tamástslikt (the word means "interpreter") connects this rich, storied history to our present day--did you know, for example, that the confederated tribes are recognized leaders in the restoration of salmon habitats?--and then expands the experience further by sharing the dreams and concerns of its tribal community in a moving exhibit called "We Will Be."
The Museum At Warm Springs exists to preserve the culture, history and traditions of the three tribes which comprise The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. The Museum was designed to provide a welcoming sight to the public as well as a safe conservatory for the traditional treasures of the Tribes.

"We know one of the largest barriers to non-tribal organizations partnering with tribes is the amount of preemptive education tribal leaders and representatives must provide non-native leaders about tribal sovereignty, fundamentals of being a tribal nation, basic terminology and customs in order to move forward with complex negotiations."
