My Work

I often get questions about things I'm working on at the Tribe.  I'm lucky enough to work for an organization that publishes its own newspaper, the Smoke Signals.  Below are some articles featuring recent projects I've been working on:

Tribe Acquires 338 Acres In Marion County

Tribe Receives 100 Acres at Rattlesnake Butte

Tribe Celebrates Return of Ceded Lands

General Council Briefed on Fee-to-Trust

BIA Official Meets with Tribe About New Police Force

In the past year, I've also presented at two seminars.  Last October, I was invited to speak at "Government Law and Indian Law: Critical Issues and Recent Developments" held at the Oregon State Bar.  For more information about the CLE, see: http://osbarcle.org/Brochures/2012/GOV12.pdf and http://osbar.inreachce.com/Details?category=dee3c2ea-f57e-4e4b-8920-084f8c66678e&groupId=7e1e1b73-2d6c-4a83-8cdc-892365436253.

I also presented at the National Conference of American Indians Mid Year Conference in Reno Nevada in June, and sat on a panel titled: "Land to Trust Acquisition: The Patchak Patch, New Challenges, Streamlining the Process, and a New Potential in Alaska."  For more information about that conference, see: http://www.ncai.org/conferences-events/ncai-events/Mid_Year_2013_Agenda_-_Final.pdf
