Jul
Tribal Council says that for the tribal organization, fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear a mask indoors in public places where vaccination statuses are checked. Your card or a picture of your card will need to be shown to enter Tribal buildings. If proof cannot be provided, a mask needs to be worn. Masks will be required in areas where people are not asked about their vaccination status. Masks are no longer required for people who are outdoors, though masking is still encouraged, especially in crowded places and for people who are unvaccinated.
Damage to a power pole Tuesday Night caused the Warm Springs I.H.S. clinic to lose internet connection. That meant they couldn’t access Electronic Health Records and clinic services were impacted.

Warm Springs Tribal Council is asking the community to use caution with fireworks. They ask that everyone utilize one of two locations for fireworks displays: the Community Center and the Simnasho Long House Parking lot. Please do not light fireworks at other locations due to the high temperatures, lack of water, and a high potential for fire due to extreme dryness and drought. A safe and happy 4th is the goal – Let’s all stay hydrated and do our part in keeping the community safe.
Warm Springs Sanitation will do regular trash pick up on Monday, July 5th, which is a holiday. Everyone with Monday pick up routes should make sure their tote is at the road on Sunday Night. Please assist elders and disabled who may need help setting their totes out.
