Graduates
Recognized for
Success
Native Warriors Guardians of
Tomorrow’s Youth is a program geared
to bring our youth a better
understanding of who they are as
individuals, as well as making a better
world for all to live in.
Real-life stories are told by men
who have been down that road of self
destruction, gangs, alcohol abuse, drug
abuse, sexual abuse, peer pressure,
culture clash, and the realities that
come with them. We give the youth a
different outlook on family values,
traditions, and spiritual awareness.
It is an honor for Native Warriors
Guardians of Tomorrow’s Youth to
recognize those who have gone beyond
the expectations in this world of
self-healing.
The following young people are
2001 graduates from our program:
Sylvia Butler (above, left) and Lynn Brooks-Whit low (below, right) are
honored by the Native Warriors Guardians of Tomorrow’s Youth for their
dedication in enhancing the lives of Siletz-area youth. Sylvia is pictured with
Tyee Russell and Falcon, and Lynn accepts congratulations from Tyee.
Angel Goreham, Richard Lafferty,
and Jose Aquilar.
Native Warriors Guardians of
Tomorrow’s Youth wishes to thank
Lynn Whitlow and Sylvia Butler for
their continuation in making for a better
day, and whether you realize it or not,
you have touched many lives.
In Spirit,

As a member of the Portland
Area Indian Health Service Facilities
Program, Vern Kessinger Jr. went to
Rockville, Md., to accept the
Outstanding Group Performance
Award in recognition of outstanding
performance from Jan. 1, 1998,
through Dec. 31, 2000.
Vern is the facility maintenance
supervisor at Chemawa Indian Health
Center and has been instrumental in
ensuring that buildings, grounds, and
support equipment are serviceable
and always ready to meet the
demands of the Chemawa clinic. Vern
is very resourceful in working with
his staff to find ways to save the
Indian Health Service money by
doing a lot of maintenance work and
building projects independently.
Chemawa Indian Health Center
thanks you, as does the entire
Chemawa community.
