Sundstrom 4 th Floor 255 Capital Street NE Salem, Oregon Phone: (503) Ext Fax: (503) The following constitutes the Oregon State Police State-Tribal Government-to- Government relations report to the Governor on the activities of this agency under Sections 1 to 4 of Senate Bill 770, which was passed by the 2001 Legislature. Please find attached a copy of Oregon State Police Policy Chapter entitled, STATE-TRIBAL GOVERNMENT-TO-GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. The purpose of this policy is to formalize the government-to-government relationship that exists between Oregon Indian tribes and the Oregon State Police. It also establishes a process which is used to assist in resolving potential conflicts, maximize key intergovernmental relations and enhance an exchange of ideas and resources for the greater good of all of Oregon s citizens, whether tribal members or not. The above-referenced policy identifies key contacts within the Department by position. I have provided an additional key contact list that contains actual names and phone numbers.

2 Page 2 The following is a summary of the various interactions between tribal governments and representatives of the Oregon State Police. The report is divided into interactions at the Headquarters/Division level and interactions at the Field Office level: HEADQUARTERS/DIVISIONS INTERACTIONS WITH TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS On October 28, 2003, Superintendent Ron Ruecker, Deputy Superintendent William Paden, Captain Robert Sundstrom and Lieutenant Steve Lane attended the annual State Tribal Government-to-Government Summit at Oregon State University. Tribal Gaming Section The Tribal Gaming Section has regular daily interactions with all the gaming tribes in Oregon. Personnel also actively participate in monthly Oregon Association of Indian Gaming Commission (OAIGC) meetings. Due to the nature of the Section s mission, they have had numerous occasions to increase their awareness of the cultures, beliefs and governmental systems of Oregon s Native American tribes. Some of these opportunities are listed below. Section personnel attended: Government-to-Government Public Safety Cluster: All Tribes are invited; Department of Justice hosts the event. These meetings are held to discuss public safety issues that affect the Tribes and other entities within the State of Oregon. Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation Cultural Training and Tour: The Tribal Gaming Commission arranged a tour of the Water Treatment Facility, Fish Hatchery, Power Generation Plant and Museum. They also had Tribal representatives give an overview and history of how these facilities came about. Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservartion Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days and Warm Springs Tribal Council Governor s Dinner: This celebration consisted of dancing and dancing competition, a rodeo, endurance race, parade, softball tournament, and fun run. The Pow Wow was attended by Governor Kulongoski, and past Governor Victor Atiyeh. They both also attended the Governor s dinner, as did gubernatorial candidate, Kevin Mannix. Coquille Salmon Bake and Restoration Celebration: This is a celebration in honor of the Salmon returning to the rivers to supply the Coquille Tribe with food for the coming year. It was attended by Tribal members of the Coquille and Coos Tribes, as well as representatives from various state and local agencies.

3 Page 3 Cultural Presentation hosted by The Confederated Tribes of The Warm Springs Indian Reservation: During this meeting a cultural presentation was given by Warm Springs Tribal Member, Rudy Clemens, the Director of CTWS Tribal Relations and Chairman of the KHDR&C Board of Directors. The presentation covered Trust responsibility of the United States related to Indians. Video Lottery Terminal (V.L.T.) Training for Regulators: All Tribes were invited; hosted by OSP Tribal Gaming Section. This training was presented by SODAK Gaming and was designed specifically for regulatory personnel. Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Pow Wow: This was a Tribal Celebration of 20 years of restoration. It included cultural presentations, traditional dress and dancing competitions. Klamath Tribe s Summer Pow Wow and Rodeo: This event included a dancing contest and rodeo. Government-to-Government Public Safety Cluster hosted by the Klamath Tribes: Discussions at this meeting focused on a cooperative agreement being worked out with the Tribes, the Klamath Country Sheriff's Office and the Klamath County District Attorney's Office regarding Native American criminal offenders. Ceremonial Groundbreaking for the Three Rivers Casino by the Coos, Lower Umpqua & Siuslaw Tribes: This event was held to formally announce the Tribe s plans for their gaming operation and to bless the site with a traditional ceremony. State Fire Marshal Division The Office of State Fire Marshal interacts with Tribal Governments in several ways to assist with fire and life safety needs: Code Assistance - Interaction on code assistance with several tribal casinos has been successful in the past. This has allowed the Fire Marshal s office to provide valuable input to the tribes for their evaluation and consideration. Fire Defense Partner/Fire Defense Chiefs The Warm Springs Indian Reservation has a well-trained fire department which participates in ongoing training and leadership roles that parallel Oregon s fire service. Their local fire chief has also taken a pro-active role to assist Jefferson County in mutual aid efforts and acts as an alternate fire defense chief when necessary for the county. The Fire Marshal s office regularly assists the Warm Springs Fire Department with fire cause determination as well as interviews of both juvenile and adult fire setters and/or arsonists.

4 Page 4 Mobilization Support Through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a formal agreement is in place between the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the State Fire Marshal, which allows the Governor to mobilize state fire resources through the Conflagration Act on behalf of Warm Springs. The Bureau of Indian Affairs would reimburse the State of Oregon for all costs in the event of mobilizations on the Reservation. Umatilla Tribal Fire Department Umatilla Tribal Fire Department is included in the State Fire Marshal s Oregon fire departments listings and works closely with other departments in their area. Fish and Wildlife Division The following list briefly summarizes activities of the Fish and Wildlife Division of interest to tribal governments: Investigate violations of Native American archaeological laws. Coordinate with state and federal prosecutors and magistrates to bring defendants of archaeological crimes to justice. Provide Fish and Wildlife Division staff trained on the Endangered Species Act and tribal treaty rights. Provide trained Fish and Wildlife Division staff knowledgeable about tribal sovereignty issues and the background of tribal sovereignty. Coordinate with tribal representatives on fish and wildlife issues before the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. Coordinate with tribal representatives on fish and wildlife issues before the Oregon Legislature. As a member of the Columbia Basin Law Enforcement Council, coordinate with the Columbia River Treaty Tribes on enforcement issues related to the Columbia River. Providing Native American cultural training as part of the Division s Workforce Development Plan. Oregon Emergency Management In March, the local Department of Human Services Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) staff member, under oversight of the Pendleton Regional Office, provided 3 hours of CSEPP refresher training to Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) Fire/Medical Personnel. CTUIR Tribal interaction with CSEPP continues to grow with involvement from Tribal Police, including their interest in placing an American Red Cross Reception site at Exit 216 off I-84.

5 Page 5 The Eastern Region Office located in Pendleton has contact with CTUIR staff on a weekly basis. This office provides coordination and training oversight for the CTUIR with respect to CSEPP issues. The Tribal Fire Department routinely trains with and supports the St. Anthony s Hospital decontamination efforts with personnel and equipment. In June of 2003, the Tribal Fire department participated in the Annual CSEPP Exercise involving a chemical accident scenario at the Umatilla Army Depot. They will again participate in the Annual Exercise scheduled for May 5, 2004, with an expanded role including Tribal Police. It is anticipated that they will also provide support for the Umatilla County American Red Cross reception site, which is currently under development. CTUIR is also working on integration of a tactical communications system with the CSEPP Community. In July of 2003, a member of the CTUIR Board of Trustees became a voting member of the CSEPP Governing Board and regularly attends monthly meetings. Tribal representatives attend the CRCC (local first responder meetings), the Integrated Process Team (IPT) meetings as well as the CSEPP Planning/Exercise Training meetings. FIELD OFFICE INTERACTIONS WITH TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS Northwest Region, Fish and Wildlife Division Lieutenant Steve Lane, Northwest Region Headquarters, continues to serve as the Department s representative on the Native American Cultural Resources Cluster Group. The primary purpose of this group is to provide a forum for the tribes and the state agencies to come together and cooperatively discuss the protection and preservation of Native American cultural resources. The group meets two to three times per year at various locations around the state. During the 2003 meetings there were round table discussions, including reports from state agencies and tribal representatives. An official roster was developed for state key contacts and tribal contacts for the group; meeting dates were also set for Lieutenants Lane and Cleary participated in the Columbia Basin Law Enforcement Council, CBLEC. CBLEC meets monthly, except in November and December. Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Enforcement also participates in the Council. The meetings provide an opportunity for the lieutenants to confer with managers from the Tribal Fisheries Enforcement agency on matters that may concern tribes conducting tribal fisheries on the Columbia River or its tributaries. During the early summer, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife held meetings with the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz to discuss fish and wildlife resource management issues. Lieutenant Lane was invited by ODFW to attend the

6 Page 6 meetings and provide a background on OSP Fish and Wildlife Division enforcement issues. Sergeant Pearson (Newport) also attended the meeting. There were no enforcement issues raised. Lieutenant Lane continues to be a liaison between the State Historical Preservation Office SHPO and the Tribes in regard to violations of the cultural resources protection laws. SHPO and the tribes report violations to Lt. Lane, who forwards the information to the respective OSP Region responsible for the investigation. An Albany Trooper assisted the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde with sifters looting Cascadia Cave east of Sweet Home. He contacted the United States Forest Service and discovered some security issues, which may have caused people becoming more aware of the Cave, which may, in turn, have led to the sifters. The Trooper continues to monitor the area for possible looters. University Patrol Office Corvallis The University Patrol Office on the Oregon State University campus has an officer assigned as a liaison with the Native American Cultural Center. Tribes from all over America are represented in the center. This has provided the opportunity to share information on the role of the State Police at the university as well as answering questions regarding career opportunities. Newport Patrol Office The Newport Patrol Office enjoys an excellent working relationship with the Siletz Tribal Police Department and Chief Dennis Bosque. Chief Bosque has been invited to participate in the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council and is included in local law enforcement administrators monthly meetings. The Newport office assists with enforcement issues surrounding the Siletz Pow Wow and the annual Indian Salmon Bake in Depoe Bay. The Newport Station Commander and members of the Lincoln County Interagency Narcotics Team have provided education and public forums in Siletz at the request of the Tribe on drug related problems, including methamphetamine lab recognition and hazards. The Newport Patrol Office also actively participates with the Tribe on the Highway 18/22 Traffic Safety Coalition. They are focusing their efforts on developing better public information about highway conditions to the coast and the need for more enforcement personnel on these highways.

7 Page 7 Coos Bay Patrol Office The Coos Bay Office and Coquille Tribal Police provide reciprocal assistance during times when backup is needed. Our officers respond during emergencies to the tribal housing area until one of the tribal officers arrives. The housing area is adjacent to a state highway. The Coquille Tribe owns timber holdings on Highway 42, east of Myrtle Point. Officers respond to this location at the request of Tribal Police to investigate Fish and Wildlife crimes. The Coquille Tribal Police Chief has offered their office building in Charleston to our officers for their use. The tribal office, including all their equipment, is at our disposal anytime during the day or night. Training opportunities have been extended to the Coquille Tribal Police members. When room is available, tribal police members are invited to participate in OSP training. A Coos Bay detective serves on the interagency major crime team, and attends investigator meetings with Tribal Police officers, sharing information pertinent to ongoing criminal investigations. The Coos Bay Lieutenant attends local area chiefs meetings and discusses issues that arise with tribal police chiefs and other chiefs of local jurisdictions. A Gold Beach trooper has been involved in separate investigations involving destruction and/or disturbance of Native American archeological sites in the Port Orford area. He was also involved in the investigation of the discovery of Native American remains, again in the Port Orford area. Each investigation involved the Coquille Tribe (Mr. Don Ivy was the contact for the Tribe). The first investigation involved a disturbed shell midden site, wherein the suspect excavated through the site twice. The investigation was forwarded to the Curry County District Attorney for consideration of criminal charges. The next investigation involved damage to a site near the outflow of Garrison Lake. This investigation was submitted to the Curry County District Attorney s office. The last case involves the discovery of Native American remains at a permitted archaeological dig; Mr. Don Ivy was the coordinator of the dig. Roseburg Patrol Office The Roseburg Area Command continues to maintain a strong working relationship with the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Indians. The Cow Creek Band has no tribal police, so law enforcement services to tribal members continues to be shared by City, County and State agencies.

8 Page 8 Seven Feathers Casino is located just off Interstate 5 at Canyonville. The Douglas County Sheriff and the Roseburg State Police share responsibility for emergency response to the casino. The Tribal Gaming Detective continues to work closely with the casino and its security director. The casino continues to refer non-emergency crime to the State Police for investigation. The Area Commander works with tribal representatives as a member of the local alcohol and drug planning committee. Fish and Wildlife members have been working with the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Indians to identify and protect known Native American archeological sites. The troopers are in the process of obtaining security equipment to assist them with the venture. Seven Feathers Casino hosts the Douglas County Major Crime Scene Investigator Seminar. Police officers from all over the United States attend. This year police officers from the United Kingdom attended and instructed at the seminar. In February of 2003, members of this office spent a day with archaeologists from BLM, UISFS and two cultural history consultants touring cultural sites in the Umpqua drainage. Klamath Falls Patrol Office Relationships between the Oregon State Police, Klamath Tribe and other local public safety agencies continues to move forward with efforts to improve and expand the frequency of communications. The Klamath Falls Patrol Office continues to be responsive to the requests of the Klamath Tribe for law enforcement assistance when dealing with incidents at the Kla-Mo-Ya Casino. The Klamath Falls Office participates in the EQUAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE which is comprised of members of law enforcement in the local area as well as Klamath tribal members. The purpose of the committee is to inform the tribe about general law enforcement procedures, policies of the various agencies, and specifically how law enforcement handles cases involving tribal members. Tribal members who have had contact with law enforcement bring their concerns and comments about the interaction to the committee. The law enforcement agency involved conducts an inquiry into the incident and reports back to committee with their findings.

9 Page 9 East Region Headquarters, Criminal Investigative Division Criminal Investigation Division members participate with the Umatilla Tribal Police on the Umatilla Tribal Major Crime Team. East Region, Fish and Wildlife Division East Region members made numerous cases with the assistance and cooperation of the Warm Springs and Umatilla Police Departments and the Columbia River Intra- Tribal Fisheries Enforcement Agency. The cases involved the illegal taking of deer and salmon off the reservation by Tribal members. East Region Fish and Wildlife personnel participate in the Deschutes River Interagency Implementation Team. The Warm Springs Tribe, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon State Marine Board, Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, and the Department managers meet regularly to discuss issues on the Deschutes River. Lieutenant Scorby, East Region Headquarters, Baker City, is a member of the Lower Deschutes River Managers Group. The Group includes a representative of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The group meets periodically to discuss issues on the lower Deschutes River. This gives Lieutenant Scorby an opportunity to interact with the Tribe. Bend Patrol Office The Bend Station Commander meets monthly with Tribal Police representatives and other law enforcement agency heads as a member of the Central Oregon Law Enforcement Services (COLES) board. The COLES board provides a forum for open discussion of issues facing all area police agencies and also serves as the policy board for the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team (CODE) and the Central Oregon Major Crime Team. Department members have also been involved, along with representatives from Warm Springs, in the Collage of Culture and Fear of Color events that are annual events in Madras. The Warm Springs Tribe is a co-partner with the Department on the Deschutes River Management Team. Members of the Fish and Wildlife Division represent the Department on this team, that is based on a formal written agreement. This copartnership has partially been responsible for increased communication between the Tribe and Department Fish and Wildlife members.

10 Page 10 Members of the Madras worksite meet as needed with members of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation as partners on the Jefferson County Local Public Safety Coordinating Council. The Bend Patrol Office continues to assist the Warm Springs Police Department by providing Crash Reconstruction expertise for fatal crash investigations. Pendleton Patrol Office The Pendleton Command Area currently has three agreements with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR). Major Crime Team Agreement between the Umatilla Tribal Police Department, Umatilla County Sheriff s Office, Oregon State Police and other criminal justice agencies as required by Federal, State or Tribal law and deemed necessary. This agreement is separate from the Major Crime Team Agreement with all other law enforcement agencies in Umatilla and Morrow Counties. The development of this agreement was established due to the unique jurisdictional issues that occur involving felony crimes with both Tribal and non-tribal members. A policy and procedures agreement with the CTUIR that defines the working relationship between the CTUIR and the Department with regards to Native American Ancestral Remains which are discovered either intentionally or accidentally. The policy and procedure, revised in 1994, offers a basic definition of the cooperative working relationship between the Department and the CTUIR when remains are located off the reservation. The resolution is established within the mandates of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The Department and CTUIR have developed a Deputization Agreement for sworn Department personnel to become deputized with Tribal authority. This agreement, though signed, is in the beginning stages with several logistical concerns to be addressed. The Department, the CTUIR, the Governor s Office, DOJ and UCDA are currently developing an updated Fresh Pursuit and Extradition Agreement. The current agreement was signed in 1981 and is outdated. The Department and Umatilla Tribal PD continue to be part of the Umatilla/Morrow County Cooperative Policing Agreement. The Department and Umatilla Tribal PD continue to be part of the Umatilla/Morrow County Law Enforcement Administrators Conference that meets monthly.

11 Page 11 The Department continues to provide Lab Site Safety Officers to Umatilla Tribal PD whenever a methamphetamine lab is located within the Reservation. The Department continues to provide Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) to Umatilla Tribal PD whenever needed. The Department continues to provide Crash Reconstructionists to Umatilla Tribal PD whenever needed. Ontario Patrol Office The Burns Patrol Office and the Burns Paiute Tribal Police are both participants in the Harney County Cooperative Policing Agreement. The Tribe also participates with the Department in the Harney County Multi- Disciplinary Child Abuse Team, the Harney County Child Fatality Review team and the Harney County Commission on Children and Families. The Burns Paiute Tribal Police also participates with the Department as members of the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council and serves on the Council s Alcohol Dependency and Juvenile Crime Committees. Arlington Patrol Office The north central area of Oregon and Zone 6 of the Columbia River is mainly comprised of the four treaty tribes: Yakima, from Central Washington to the Columbia River; Warm Springs, Central Oregon; Umatilla, Northeastern Oregon; and Nez Perce, Western Idaho. Contacts with tribal members are usually associated with monitoring area fisheries and with assisting Inter-Tribal police with operations and patrols. The Warm Springs Tribe has the responsibility to manage 24,304 acres of wildlife habitat in Wheeler County, which was purchased by the Bonneville Power Administration. The management duties include setting hunting seasons and limits. Oregon State Police personnel have been partners with the Warm Springs Tribe, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Park Service and local agencies to discuss issues and adopt rules to enhance the habitat and wildlife. The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Enforcement Department is located in Hood River and is primarily responsible for enforcement of tribal fisheries in Zone 6 on the Columbia River. The Arlington Patrol Office continues to work with the Inter- Tribal police in providing staff, flights, boat patrols and other enforcement and aid in strategic planning as needed.

12 Page 12 In conclusion, the Department of Oregon State Police has embraced and remains committed to complying with the provisions of the Governor s Executive Order and Senate Bill 770. The various Divisions and Offices of the Department will continue to advance opportunities to participate in intergovernmental agreements and interactions that foster mutual gain and cooperation.
