Memorial Day-A Time for Remem
bering Ancestors and Friends
In the early days of the school,
students were buried in the Che
mawa Cemetary due to infectious
diseases, financial conditions that
prohibited parents from sending for
the bodies, and students decisions to
be buried at the school they consid
ered home.
In memory of these students and
their families we respectfully pub
lish the names of the these students
and the hundred more whose spirits
rest here.

Chemawa American
Bishop Waldschmidt Confirms Students
and Thanks Students for Opportunity
“ This is more than a graduation,
more than a regular service; rather
it ’s a rite of passage, an initiation
into life. We don’t know the trials
ahead. It could get discouraging,
but today you have accepted the
Spirit as a force who w ill help you in
e very s tru g g le and challenge
ahead.
“ Behold I am w ith you a ll
days...even u ntil the end of the
world,” said Bishop Paul Weldsch-
midt during the special Confirma
tion liturgy held at Chemawa on
May 1, honoring five Chemawa stu
dents.
Students who underwent this spe
cial ceremony and rite of passage
were:
Gordon “ Michael” Allen;
Emerson “ Paul” Stiffarm ; Lana
“ T e k a k a w ith a ” Dortey; A u dry
“ Alexandria” Jones; and Joanne
“ Anne” Lane.
In the 104 year history of the
school, this is only the third time
that this prestigious ceremony has
been held here. The last ceremony
took place last year.
Chemawa C onfirm ation candi
dates worked with Sister Laurita for
13 weeks as the'm ajor preparation
for this service. They also worked
with the musicians for three weeks.
“ The gifts-, that you receive to
night are ones you w ill use the rest
of your life. You have earned the
right to use these gifts as responsi
ble members of the Church.”
Liturgical music for the service
was provided by Ms. La Croix, Mrs.
Ernstrom, Ms. Isaacson, and Mr.
Bishop Weldschmidt thanked the
Hal. Beyers. Ms. La Croix presented
a special slide show depicting the Chemawa community for inviting
students of Chemawa as a Commu him for his first trip here. He hopes
to return next year.
