Show respect at all times. Myself, I do not inspect nor do I know who attends. I do not want people to think that I am being nosy. I do want all who come there to feel comfortable and at peace. When the sweat is completed, please clean up afterward. We have ground cloths that we call pews to put over the straw. After the sweat, these should be taken out and rinsed in the shower, and this is not being done. We have a person who comes out every Sunday and prepares for the Monday night sweat. He splits kindling and makes small wood out of big wood to start his fire. When this is used, we expect it to be replaced. I don’t mean to go out and buy wood or kindling, but use what is there. The sweat lodge is a sacred place for some of us and I believe that it should have the respect of all who use it. There is no smoking in the lodge area for lodge users. Tobacco is for sacred use, not abuse. It is used in ceremony. It may look like a dual system and I guess that it is, for when we have guests at our home they go out on the porch and smoke, I don’t really like that either because that’s why my house burned. But sweat lodge users have to go to the parking lot to smoke. Above all, show respect for the lodge and for those who take care of it. The lodge requires quite a bit of upkeep at its best. So all we ask is a little respect. Thank you. One time, this man decides to go into business. He decides to do fried chicken. He calls it Golden Fried. Now this young fellow needs to get the word out about his chicken and decides that the best he can do is through the church. He goes to the Pope and offers him $5,000 to change the words “Give us each day our daily bread” to “Give us each day our daily Golden Fried Chicken.” The Pope of course refuses. The next day, the enterprising young fellow again approaches the Pope. This time he offers him $5 million. The Pope refuses. The next day, the businessman returns and offers $50 million to change from “Give us each day our daily bread” to “Give us each day our daily Golden Fried Chicken.” Now this is a lot of money; the Pope is thinking that it could help a lot of people in the world. The Pope relents and grants him the request. After the businessman leaves, the Pope sits down and writes a short notice to all parishes in the world. It says simply, “We just lost the Wonder Bread account.” February 2002 □ Siletz News □ 7
