FALL 2014 Page 3 Ayukii huut kich, Tribal Members Casino update: #;7-+ Good news!! The casino compact has been approved by the California State Senate and Assembly by a super majority vote. It was then sent to Governor Brown’s office for signature on August 29th. Thanks to the hard work of Lau- ra Mayton, Jaclyn Goodwin and Scott Quinn (our IGA) or Intergovernmental Agreement team, we were able to reach an agreement with the City of Yreka. Next is the agreement with Siskiyou County. We are going to work putting together that agreement as this newsletter is going to press. If we do not come to an agreement within the next couple of weeks we will probably enter into arbitration with the County. The process should not take long, we are hoping to have a ground breaking ceremony and get in a few months of construction done before winter sets in. If you are looking to go to work please contact Dion Wood (TERO Director) at 530 493-1600 ext. 2030 to be added to our skills bank. Elders: You are the bedrock of our People. Please contact me if you need anything. If I can’t answer your question I know somebody who can.

I am here to help. Education and Youth Activities Flag football will be starting soon, sign up at your local school or call 530 493-1600 ext. 2019 or 2034.

Fires Our Firefighters are HEROES! If you see a firefighter say thank you. They protect our homes and our land. Firefighting is a dangerous job that requires a lot of training and stamina. As you know we have been sur- rounded by fires this summer and it’s not over yet. We still have some air purifiers and the Senior Nutrition Center has been used as an air quality and evacuation center. Native American Heritage Commission Chairman Attebery was recently appointed by Governor Brown as the newest member of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The Karuk Chairman attended his first meeting in August. The Mission of NAHC is to provide protection to Native American burials from vandalism and inadvertent destruction, provide a procedure for the notification of most likely descendants regarding the discovery of Native American human remains and associated grave goods, bring legal action to prevent severe and irreparable damage to sacred shrines, ceremonial sites, sanctified cemeteries and places of worship on public property and maintain an inventory of sacred places. “I am very proud to be representing the Karuk Tribe on the Native American Heritage Commission.” Yootva kura suva nik Chairman Attebery Russell “Buster” Attebery (800) 505-2785 ext. 2019 Karuk Chairman Cell: (530) 643-2625, Fax: (530) 493-5322 64236 Second Avenue Email: [email protected] Happy Camp, Ca. 96039 Fall 2014 Page 4 )#/+0) %1/2#%6 #22418'& Karuk Tribe One Step Closer to Casino Our Casino Movingg Forward Karuk Tribe Chairman Buster Attebery stated, “To- day our gaming project took one very large step Sacramento, CA – Today the California Legislature closer to reality due to the positive energy and com- approved legislation to ratify the Tribal-State Gam- mitment from our Tribal team and our local part- ing Compact between the Karuk Tribe and the ners in the business community and civic leaders State of California. in Yreka.

  • The Tolowa Dee-Ni' Language Revitalization
    The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Language Revitalization Loren Me’-lash-ne Bommelyn Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation Language Revitalization, Is the Challenge The Challenge of Endangered Language recovery is uncertain work. Endangered Languages are spoken and unspoken. Many languages are retrieved from manuscripts, publications, audio files, ethnographies and from the hearts and minds of speakers. What will reform the speech community? Most children hear English and Spanish not Dee-ni'. How can an Endangered Language wage against media, Colonialism and singleness? What methodologies and approaches support Endangered Languages? “Teach what you learn and speak what you know.” The Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ Thea Ta -laa-wa Dee-ni' are a Dene (Athabaskan) speaking people of the Pacific Northwest. The Taa-laa-waa-dvn lays across ten rivers systems that empty into the Pacific in southwest Oregon and northern California. The neighbors of the Taa-laa- wa are the Yurok to the south, the Karuk, Takelma and Kalapuya to the east and the Coos to the north. The Yurok language is Algonquian. The Karuk language is Hokan. The Takelma, Kalapuya and Coos are Penutian. The Dee-ni' emerged following Genesis at Yan'-daa-k'vt, "South-up-hill”, the center of the Dee- ni' world. The Dee-ni’ Homeland Xatlh-srii-dvn - Genesis The Three Beings; Baby Sender, Daylight and Thunder living above the Earth in the Sweat House of Knowledge spoke and made the water covered earth.

  • Karuk Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the Need for Knowledge Sovereignty
    Karuk Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the Need for Knowledge Sovereignty: Social, Cultural and Economic Impacts of Denied Access to Traditional Management Prepared by Dr. Kari Marie Norgaard for the Karuk Tribe Department of Natural R e s o u r c e s 2014 Karuk Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the Need for Knowledge Sovereignty: Social, Cultural and Economic Impacts of Denied Access to Traditional Management. Karuk management principles have been central to the evolution of the flora and fauna of the mid-Klamath ecosystem (Andersen 2005, Lake et al 2010, Skinner et al 2006). Ongoing and future climate change intensifies existing ecological pressures in the Klamath Basin and on Karuk traditional foods and cultural use species already under threat. Future climate scenarios for the Klamath Basin point to unique threats to both riverine and “upslope” species, as shifting and increasingly variable precipitation patterns impact stream flows, stream temperatures and fire regimes (Karl et al 2009). Climate change poses a threat not only to the Klamath ecosystem, but to Karuk culture which is intimately intertwined with the presence, use and management of cultural use species (Karuk Tribe 2010, Lake et al 2010, Norgaard 2005). In the context of climate change, Karuk tribal knowledge and management principles can be utilized to protect public as well as tribal trust1 resources (Karuk Tribe 2012). For Tribes within the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative such as the Karuk where significant knowledge of traditional management practices is intact, but where all or part of ancestral lands are managed by other agencies, it is important that the implementation of traditional management take place in a manner that promotes rather than hinders tribal sovereignty and the Federal tribal trust responsibility.

  • Native Americans of the Rogue Valley
    An introduction to: Native Americans of the Rogue Valley Presented by: North Mountain Park Nature Center A division of the Ashland Parks and Recreation Department Version 4: May 2010 A Note on Authenticity This booklet is one piece of the North Mountain Park Nature Center’s interpretation relating to the role of Native Americans of the Rogue Valley on both an historic and ecological level. Although based on numerous ethnographies, historical accounts, archaeological records, and the opinions and statements of tribal people of today, this booklet is not meant to be a scholarly document. The purpose of this booklet is to form a general picture of what life was like for the Native Americans who lived in and around Ashland prior to contact with Euro-Americans, and their role as stewards of this land. In attempting this interpretation, certain challenges arose as to which tribes actually lived where, how they lived and what they believed. Most of this difficulty is related to the fact that the tribes of the Rogue Valley — the Shasta, Takelma and Athabaskans had a very short contact period with white settlers before being forcibly removed to reservations in northwest Oregon. Unfortunately, the few ethnographies that were conducted, which provide some of the best written accounts of how people lived, occurred long after the people were removed from their homeland and forced to relinquish their traditional way of life. It is hoped that this booklet will be a starting place for an ongoing dialogue between Native Americans and anyone interested in exploring how people can learn from the past while looking toward a better, more sustainable and more honorable future for everyone.
