On March 5, a group of students
accompanied by Mr. Quincy and Loretta
Wheaton went to the 9th annual
E-Peh-Tes pow-wow at Lapwai, Idaho.
We left on the evening of the 5th and
traveled all night. On the way, we had
some excitement. Mr. Quincy’s Indian
car started acting up so we told the van
crew to go ahead and we turned around
and went back to get it fixed. We stopped
at a service station where Quincy swore
and kicked at it and it started working
again.
We started on our journey again.
Later on, the other crew caught up to us
and were happy to see us. We finally
arrived at about 3 a.m. The boys bunked
at Tracey Jackson’s house for that night
and most of the girls stayed at Loretta’s
mom’s house except for 4 who stayed in
Quincy’s Indian camper at a camping
ground.
Friday morning, we all went to the
Pi-nee-waus where the war dance was
held. Matt Dillon, Roger Kemp, Kevin
Nichols,
Eva
Sandoval,
Delphine
Sandoval, Tracey Holt, and Paul Sher
wood danced and represented Chemawa.
That evening we were fed by Paul
Sherwood’s mom at Sissy High Eagles
house. The girls were bunked at Sissy’s
house for the week-end and the boys
stayed at Paul’s house.
Saturday the kids danced again and
went to the 49(contemporary Indian
singing) after the dancing was done.
Sunday morning there was a meal at
Pi-nee-waus where things were done the
Nez Perce way and it took about twb
hours before we finallv finished our meal.
