Stand tall my brothers, Stand firm as the tree, And be strong my sisters, So that all may see. We struggle for the people, Both near and far, We only struggle, For what is ours. We struggle for the children, Who go hungry at night, And we struggle for the old, Who cannot fight. We have listened to the whites, We have heard their songs, We have listened brothers and sisters, Damn too long. Now its time to stand up, Its times to be strong, Its time my brothers, To right this wrong. Let us be warriors, And live on our land, Or let us die, With rifle in hand. By Dawn Boy Local Girl Runs For Tiinowit Queen As the Northwest’s biggest powWow approaches, a Warm Springs girl is selling raffle tickets in the hope of being chosen the powwoW’s queen. Leona Ike, 15, daughter of Fred and Daisy Ike, is a queen candidate for the Tiinowit pow wow to be held in White Swan, Washington June 9-12, 1977. This is the first year that Tiinowit has opened the contest to girls throughout the north west, and Leona jumped at the opportunity. She enjoys traveling and she and her family are plan ning to renew their interest in powwows. Leona has placed in finals in all kinds of dancing — fancy, circle, owl, rabbit and graceful. Leona was a candidate once before at the Rock Creek Traditional Powwow. She thought she’d do it again be cause “it’s fun meeting and getting to know people.”- Almost halfway to her goal of selling 1000 raffle tickets, Leona is joined by candidates from Pendleton, Klamath Falls, Seattle and Ft. Hall. Leona, whose Indian name is Mu-tu-ie, is of Warm Springs, Wasco and Rock Creek descendency, and is the granddaughter of Annie Dick. She learned Washut ways at Rock Creek and takes an ac tive interest in traditional In dian lifestyles. Her mother Daisy remarked “I can park her at the Longhouse and she’ll know what to*dp.” Beadwork is a hobby of hers, but Leona is also an avid foosball enthusiast. Recently she won a local foosball tour nament. Leona is a sophomore at Madras High School where she is active in Indian Club. She is a teacher’s assistant in Mr. Gallagher’s algebra class — the first student to assume that position — and plans to be a high school algebra teacher one day. The queen of the Tiinowit powwow will be crowned on the evening of ’ June 9/at the ancient ceremonial grounds in White Swan, site of the week end activities. Nearly $15,000 in prize money will be awarded to dancers in eleven divisions at the four-day powwow. Grand Entry will be at 7:00 p.m. each day. Tiinowit, which is the cele bration of Yakima’s treaty days, has customarily had one of' the largest drumming con tests in the region, with 36 drums entered last year. The deadline for registration in the war dance and drumming con tests will be 6:00 p.m. on June 9. Afternoons will be devoted to ceremonial programs pre sented by tribes throughout the United States and Canada. Arts and crafts booths will be open continuously. No alcoholic bev erages will be allowed on the premises.
