TRIBAL MEMBER NEWS
Snook Succeeds by Helping Others
Tribal member Bunni Snook of
Salem recently made senior grade as
an independent distributor for Nikken.
What is that, you ask?
It’s a vision of worldwide wellness!
In 1973, Nikken founder Isamu Masuda
visualized a company that would help
people around the world achieve total
wellness. Two years later, his vision
became a reality with the formation of
Nikken in Fukuoka, Japan.
Nikken - the company, the
products, and the business opportunity
- is built upon a corporate philosophy
that’s centered on Masuda’s concept of
“total wellness.’’ This concept extends
well beyond the scope of physical
health to encompass five key areas of
life to be brought into a state of balance.
These five areas are known in Nikken
as The Five Pillars of Health: healthy
body, healthy mind, healthy family,
healthy society, and healthy finances.
“At first, I just signed up to get
wholesale prices on the products! But
then the more I used the products and the
more my family benefited from using
them, I really became a believer. Now I
want everyone to be aware of just what
kind of technology is available for use in
everyday life to help ease discomfort,’’
says Bunni.
Nikken offers a wide variety of
products for more restful sleep, skin
care, nutrition supplements, better
water for the entire home, far-infrared
clothing, magnetic wraps, magnetic
jewelry, massage, and all-over comfort.
These products are fully washable and
will last for years, including insoles that
you don’t have to replace every two to
four weeks!
Contact Bunni
for more
information at 503-551-8341 (cell),
P.O. Box 664, Turner, OR 97392. You
also can visit two Web sites:
www.nikken.com and www.5pillars.com.
You also can order on-line by using
Bunni’s distributor code: 813347700.
“I love to show people the
technology behind these things; it’s so
awesome. Nikken stands behind their
products,’’ says Bunny. “I will offer any
tribal member wanting to give
them a try a 10 percent discount and
a free Masuda Roll-out just for
giving me the opportunity to give them
a demonstration.’’

Fisher First to Finish NAIHC Courses
Terry Fisher, new executive director
of Housing, is the first Native American
in the nation to complete all of the
National American Indian Housing
Council
(NAIHC) Leadership
Institute’s Professional Indian Housing
Manager tracks of study. He soon will
take the final exam to be certified as a
professional Indian housing manager.
Terry will be recognized at the NAIHC
28lh Annual Convention & Trade Show
Terry Fisher
in June in San Diego, Calif.
Recently, Terry completed the four separate tracks that address specific
areas of Indian housing management. Each track consists of several courses
relevant to the internal operation of the tribally designated housing entity and
parallels the affordable housing activities found in the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996.
Terry has successfully completed and is certified in the following: introduction
to Indian housing management, admissions and occupancy, resident services
program, maintenance management, develop-ment and modernization,
force account construction management, fiscal management, personnel and
supervisory management, procurement and contract administration, low-income
housing tax credit, tax-exempt bond financing, homebuyer education, and
environmental compliance.
NAIHC’s unique Indian housing management courses are specifically designed
to meet the needs of those who plan and develop Indian housing. Some of the
knowledge Terry brings from these courses include how to: develop and implement
effective policies and procedures; gain competency in specialized areas of Indian
housing management, such as finance and budgets, housing management,
development and modernization, procurement, and occupancy manage-ment; meet
the requirements of an Indian Housing Plan; create organizational guidelines to
make your TDHE more effective; produce accurate financial reports, operating
budgets, and construction budgets for your commissioners; support efforts to
pursue funding for new units; write grant proposals; monitor construction progress,
oversee modernization projects, and inspect completed projects; and understand
the importance of strategic and comprehensive planning for future growth.
Congratulations, Terry, on your recent accomplishments!
