High Country News Vol. 6.18, Sept. 13, 1974 LRT. 2-High Country News Friday, Sept. 13, 1974 Some observations on a'trek to Oregon, 1974: Our family can now better appreciate the personal an- guish of uprooting from an ancestral home and re-settling hundreds of miles away. How much more traumatic must have been the experience of people who put all their earthly possessions in a covered wagon and set out across a wilderness to a land of unknowns. They had none of the amenities which we now enjoy, and what we consider . necessities would have been pure luxury to our handy forebears. My admiration and respect for those people is unbounded. ' :. , Nevertheless, it is a painful experience to put all your earthly goods in a modem version of a Conestoga - a U-Haul - and pull away from dearly loved ones and lifelong friends. There ate moments when it still seems unreal in spi te-of the blessings of this good new land. It is an irony ofsorte that we moved from one area rich in the history of the Oregon Trail to another near the ter- minus of \the great migration way. Between here and Baker, the old trail passes through an area not too unlike that from South Pass to the Big Sandy. Crossinglt this side • of Baker reminds me somewhat of the crossing of Highway . 28 near Pacific Springs. And so I am comforted by being so close to this cherished trace of history that has been.near to my heart in the years gene by.

Today, Roy provides counsel to tribal governments and federal and state agencies in the development of fish and wildlife programs. In his long history of such service, he has become a highly respected and beloved mentor and leader to many. Roy describes himself as lucky to have been present and involved in some historic changes in indigenous governance and environmental stewardship. “A big part of my story was just blind luck. I was fortunate enough to move out to the Northwest in the early 50s when there was a regional tribal marketplace along the entire Columbia River. This whole area was inundated by the construction of the Dalles Dam, prior to the tribes asserting the fishing rights and other rights to the river. I had the luck to be there as a young man and see it in person. “For me, this experience was a grounding point; when I had discussions about tribal and governmental co-management, I had that foundational base about why it was important.
