Our Children’s Children Forever by Eva Clayton W? had been a sustained yield society forever. Timber companies their genera (wood) have found that re-forestation gives them sustained yield products (trees). The removal, divide and conquer tactics was a technique used against our families. The total disruption caused tremendous hardship, not to mention the loss of family, direction, and continuity among the people. Loss of leaders, teachers, medicine people was devastating. It was like entering a room, (reservation) fumbling around in the dark, searching until one found the switch of enlightenment. We became a foster child of our government, looked upon as a liability. To lessen an ongoing felt liability, numbers and quantum was brought to focus. A. method used to regulate control over assets and liability statistics. Is not quantum and numbers used favorably in the animal world? The honoring of agreements, treaties with the people in a timely manner, was not an option. The assembly line procedure was geared to run numbers, lessen obligation and liability. 10 □ Siletz News □ January 2003 We need to focus on our windows of enlightenment. To coin a phrase, “How can you keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paree," is where our generation is at. Stepping into the future should not mean forfeiting the past. Our past binds the present and jump-starts our future. Our children, they should not be penalized. It is up to us as the gatekeepers to see that it swings both ways. Challenge the future, nurture the present, and honor the past. This we know, the loss of so much only strengthened the determination of our ancestors to sacrifice whatever means necessary to assure their children’s children (forever) would inherit knowledge and acceptance of their direct descendancy. Sustained yield, it is the child who represents continued life for our family ancestry.
