$900 MILLION IN AMERICAN RECOVERY RESCUE PLAN
FUNDING TO TRIBES ACROSS THE COUNTY
WASHINGTON – Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Bryan
Newland announced on Friday April 30, 2021, that the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) has begun disbursing $900 million to federally recognized tribes under the
American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. ARP was signed by President Biden on
March 11, 2021, and the funds will aid tribes as they address the COVID-19
pandemic and its damaging impacts on Indian Country. For more information
please visit the US Department of Indian Affairs Website: https://
www.indianaffairs.gov/news/indian-affairs-begins-disbursement-900-millionamerican-rescue-plan-funding-tribes-across.
The Tribal Government staff of CTCLUSI have been in consistent communication with the BIA, attending meetings and receiving informational press releases about the upcoming funding and how to apply. The BIA methodologies for
each allocation for Tribes will be done based on enrollment. Debbie Bossley,
Tribal Council CTCLUSI Chairwoman shared, “We have recently made an official request for these funds and Tribal Government staff will be diligently working with Tribal Leadership to establish priorities for this funding
once we know what our allocation will be. I am confident these much
needed resources will offer tremendous assistance in multiple areas of
the Tribal Government and its programs.”
The Enrollment Department is urging membership, at this time, to verify contact
information is current, so we may provide you with any pertinent information in
the near future. You may provide current contact information on the website under Enrollment, by submitting a Change of Address Form or by contacting any
of the Tribe’s offices in Coos Bay, Florence or Eugene.

CTCLUSI RECEIVES EPA APPROVAL FOR CLEAN WATER ACT PROGRAMS ON TRIBES LANDS
Seattle (May 3, 2021) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved the request by the Confederated Tribes of
Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians to assume responsibilities of the Clean Water Act’s water quality standards and
certification programs on reservation and trust lands.

The basic requirements for applying for TAS are that the tribe must
be federally recognized; have a governing body to carry out substantial governmental duties and powers; have the appropriate authority; and be capable of administering the functions of the program.

With this approval, the CTCLUSI will assume authority over all
surface waters within the Reservation and Trust Lands. Trust
lands include lands located outside of the reservation that are
held in trust by the United States for the CTCLUSI. The CTCLUSI Reservation and Trust Lands collectively cover almost
15,000 acres of southwest Oregon.

EPA’s approval of the CTCLUSI’s application does not constitute
an approval (nor disapproval) of the tribes’ water quality standards.
Any water quality standards adopted by a tribe and submitted to
EPA for action must satisfy all Clean Water Act and other regulatory requirements, including public participation to ensure an appropriate opportunity for any interested entities to provide input on the
According to Dan Opalski, Director of EPA’s Water Division in proposed water quality standards. Mark A. MacIntyre Senior Public
Seattle: “We are pleased to approve the Confederated Information Officer
POSTING FOR ENROLLMENT COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATIONS

Building, Tribal Hall, Outreach Offices, on the Tribes’ website and at Three RivWater Act. We look forward to our continued work with the ers Casino for twenty-eight (28) days from the date listed. JUNE 1, 2021
tribes to protect vital resources now and for future generations.”
According to the CTCLUSI Tribal Council:” This Treatment in a
Similar Manner as State recognition is an important acknowledgment of tribal sovereignty by the EPA. We are
very pleased with this determination. Water is Life! Water
is and always has been an important resource for the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, & Siuslaw Indians and we are excited that we can now manage the tribe's
waters more directly."
The CTCLUSI applied to EPA for “Treatment in a Similar Manner to a State” (TAS) for the Clean Water Act section 303(c) water quality standards and the section 401 water quality certification programs on December 17, 2019, and supplemented the
application on June 12, 2020.
Specifically, this approval will enable the CTCLUSI to set water
quality goals and standards - the regulatory and scientific foundation for protecting water quality - for all water bodies within
the CTCLUSI Reservation and Trust Lands. EPA’s approval
does not alter or modify water quality standards outside of the
CTCLUSI Reservation and Trust Lands. Today’s approval authorizes the CTCLUSI to develop water quality standards for all
surface waters within the CTCLUSI Reservation and Trust
Lands and to ensure that CWA-permitted discharges will meet
all applicable water quality standards for reservation waters after those standards are reviewed and approved by EPA. The
CTCLUSI have previously been granted TAS status for other
Clean Water Act sections: section 106 - Water Pollution Protection and section 319 - Nonpoint Source programs, in 2002 and
2003, respectively.
Several federal environmental laws, including the Clean Water
Act, authorize EPA to treat eligible federally recognized Indian
tribes in a similar manner as a state for implementing and managing certain environmental programs.

In accordance with CLUSITC 7-1-37(a), Tribal Members shall have the right to
protest the recommendation of the Committee approving an application and must
file a written, signed protest with the Committee stating their reasons for believing that an Applicant(s) is not entitled to enrollment. The protest must be filed
with the Committee within twenty-eight (28) days after notice of the proposed
enrollment is posted as described in CLUSITC 7-1-36(i).

to protect our elders
COVID-19 is hard for our communities. Our elders can get very sick. Nowthat a vaccine is ready, tribal
members might have questions. We remember a painful history with vaccines. That's why thousands
of tribal members chose to be part of vaccine trials to make sure it's safe for Native people. Now we
know it's safe and one of the ways we help protect our people and our culture.

Coronavirus Variants
Coronavirus yariants are in the news frequendy now, Leaming about virus rariants and why scientists are concerned about

tiem will help us protect our health and the health of our hmilies and communities.

}Yhat are virus Yariants?
Variants are slightly different copies of an original virus that makes us sick \Men viruses spread from person to Person,
they copy their codes (genome sequences) with each new infection. The virus that causes COVID- l9 has 30,0001
sequences in its code and when it is copied - sometimes slight misakes are made, changing the virus a bit This changed
vin-rs is called a griang

Changes to viruses are normal. All viruses - including the one that causes COVID- 19 disease - change over time. Most
changes and variants do not alter how the virus behaves when it makes us sick But sometimes cerain changes can cause
rarians to spread hster, make people sicker, or make vaccines less effectivel. These kinds of virus rariants are called

Varians of Concem (VOC).r

Coronavirus Variants of Concem in the United States
As of April 2021, tiere are five coronavirus Variants of Concem in the United Sates being warched and tracked carefully
by scientists and medical professionals. All of these new varians appear to be more contagious tian the original
coronavirus and spread more easily to unvaccinated people. And, some appear to cause more severe disease4.
ts.

To learn more about VOCs, see: COVID-Varian's

Can the yaccines protect us from n€w variarnts?

YES! All the rraccines we currently have provide protection agrinst tlre variantsse. While the levels of protection can
rary, studies have shown that the yaccines protect against severe disease, hospialization, and death from the variants.
Research is on-going into how protective the vaccines are and if booster shots for the variants are needed, but right now
there is no evidence to suggest a significant reduction in yaccine effectiveness, meaning yaccination remains one of the most
How can we prevent the spread of new variantsl
Stopping the spread of new variants is possible and evenrone can help. Remaining vigilant until the majority of all our
people, young and old, and surrounding communities are vaccinated is critical. Measures to limit the spread of the virus
haven't changed - wearing a mask, physical distancing avoiding crowded places or closed settings, and frequent hand
washing - work by reducing the potential for transmission of the variants and, therefore, reducing opportunities for the
virus to change. Continue practicinS these measures until health authorities say it is safe to stop.

Slnce I am young and healthy, and our elders are vaccinated - do I still need to be vaccinated!

YES! Cetting vaccinated is especially important now that the virus is changing. When a virus is circulating widely to
unyaccinated people, it has more opportunities to change when copying iself and can potentialry make yariants drat are
even more dangerous. No matter what your age. it is critical to get vaccinated when it's your tum. This will help protect
our communities, including our treasured elders.

As lndigenous people, it is our role to leam from those who came before us and nurture those who come next We dance,
we pray, we share, we adap! we protecl Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect our communitl and the quickest
way to end ttre pandemic!

Have You Been Fully
Vaccinated? People are
considered fully vaccinated :

2 weeks after their
second dose in a 2-dose
series, such as the Pfizer
or Moderna vaccines, or
2 weeks after a singledose vaccine, such as
Johnson & Johnson's
Janssen vaccine

lf you don't meet these

ns until you are fully
vaccinated

lf you've been around someone who has
COVID-19, you do not need to stay away
from others or get tested unless you have
symptoms.
