The Warm Springs Tribal Council celebrated a bill announcement from The White House under Law & Justice: S. 832, which nullifies the Supplemental Treaty Between the United States and the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of Middle Oregon, was signed by U. S. President to become law. Our government relations with United States and States of Oregon and Washington are solely under Middle Oregon Treaty of 1855.

A burning of the 1865 Treaty ceremony occurred near the Tribal Administration. Thanks to all our past Chiefs, leaders and tribal members who held the line over the years. October 21, 2020

Our community should also be proud of low positive numbers related to Covid-19—keep up the great work. Keep on practicing: Masking up, social distancing, washing hands often or using sanitizer, avoiding gatherings.
