Water deal enters into Klamath tribal dispute
Leaders of recall fight say leaders shouldn't be able sign document
A group of tribal members who
claim they recalled current leaders of the
Klamath Tribes asked the Bureau of Indian
Affairs that those leaders not be allowed to
sign the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement
today in Salem.
Gary Frost, who identified himself as the new Tribes chairman, wrote in a letter to BIA deputy director Mike Smith that the tribal council has been instructed by the tribe’s general council “to postpone signing any agreement that was initiated by the removed Tribal Council.”
The landmark restoration agreement, which aims to resolve water disputes in the Klamath River Basin, will be signed at 10 a.m. today in the Oregon State Capitol rotunda.
The Klamath Tribes last month voted to support the agreement. Joe Kirk, chairman of the disputed tribal council, could not be contacted Wednesday to comment on whether the Tribes planned to sign the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement in Salem this morning.
