Cold River Rising
While on a spring break from college, Native American
Tara Eagle was kidnapped in a foreign land. She and her
friends struggle for survival, first against terrorists, and
then against the army. Her relatives become frustrated, and
then angry at the slow response from the United States
Government.

There are over five hundred Indian Tribes recognized by
Congress. In the year 2007 a group of Indians used their
sovereignty for something other than a casino. The Cold
River Indian Nation of Oregon declared war on a foreign
country.

They were joined by others.
Warm Springs: The community of Warm Springs is home
to numerous small businesses as well as tribal enterprises
including the Ka-Nee-Ta Resort, Warm Springs Forest
Products Industries, and The Museum at Warm Springs.
Warm Springs boasts some of the finest water recreation
sites in the area including Lake Billy Chinook. With a spirit
of progress and plans for the future, Warm Springs offers
exciting cultural and economic opportunities.

Warm Springs History: Long before Europeans came to
the Americas, the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes lived
beside the Columbia River and Cascade Mountains. The
Paiute lived throughout the vast plateaus to the southeast
of Oregon's political border. These were the three tribes
that constitute the modern federation called the
Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and who own and
occupy the Warm Springs Indian Reservation created by
the Treaty of 1855.

Warm Springs became the political and economic center of
the 600,000-acre reservation that comprises much of the
northern part of Central Oregon. In 1937, the three tribes
adopted a constitution, Bill of Rights and bylaws for tribal
government, and in 1938 formally accepted a corporate
charter from the United States for business endeavors.
During the period between 1940 and 1970 The
Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs came to be known
as leaders among Native Americans in self-preservation,
self-determination, and innovation for economic
development efforts.

Tribal Government: Since 1938, tribal members have
conducted their own affairs through their constituted
government, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs
Reservation of Oregon. The tribal confederation is
comprised of the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes, who
signed the 1855 treaty, and the Paiute Indians who joined
them on the reservation 24 years later.

The Warm Springs Tribal Council is the central governing
authority of the Confederated Tribes. This eleven-member
body includes eight elected members, who serve
three-year terms, and three traditional chiefs who serve for
life.

There are three districts on the reservation, with a Chief
from each district. The Simnasho and Agency Districts
each have three elected representatives, and the
Seekseekqua District has two elected representatives.

Tribal Council is responsible for setting policy, and hires a
Chief Executive Officer to carry out the day-to-day
operations of the Tribal Organization. Contact
