Many tribally owned facilities are located on the reservation tribal offices, a comprehensive health center, a community center and residences for the elderly, a family center, a historical library museum, a bingo hall, casino and golf course. In addition, several privately owned businesses operate within reservation boundaries. Together with tribal programs, these offer many opportunities for employment, but some community members also travel to nearby towns and cities to work. The children attend school in the Bowler or Gresham public schools. Many of them now go on to college, technical school or the university.
Tribal members hold degrees in law, medicine, education, fine arts and other disciplines.
The population on the reservation is increasing. Not only are families often larger than average American families, but also more tribal members are now staying in the community or returning to it. Several federal projects have helped provide housing for the growing population, new roads have been constructed, and plans have been made to develop tribally-managed tourism on a limited scale on the reservation. At present the Arvid E. Miller Memorial Library Museum welcomes visitors from near and far on a daily basis. The annual Honor Our Veterans Powwow , held in early August, draws drummers, dancers, traders and spectators from all over the country.
