His hard-to-pronounce yet
melodic name is as intriguing
as the land from which he
hails—the Philippines.
Though Perry describes the
islands as lush and tropical
with waterfalls and inviting
white-sand beaches, he says he
is afraid to return there.
“President Ferdinand Mar
cos and his party have the
Philippines ùnder a constant
state of martial law, and since
I am against that party, I’m
fearful of going back,” he
says.
Before Marcos came into
power, the country was a de
mocracy and a wonderful place
to live, according to Perry.
He was born in the town of
Macabebe, but grew up in
Manila where he attended
school. “We learned English
starting in the first grade
because classes aren’t taught
in Tagalog which is a national
language,” he explained.
One is aware of a bit of an
accent when talking with Perry
which is explained by the fact
that, though he spoke English
in school, he spoke in his own
tongue the majority of the
time.
He attended college at the
University of East Manila
where he graduated in 1951 as
an accounting major. He also
passed the Board Exam in
1951, and officially became a
Certified Public Accountant in
1952.
In 1970, Perry was sent by
his government as a budget
examiner to observe budgeting
procedures and techniques in
the United States.
Because of the sad state of
political affairs in the Philip
pines, the Philippean Consul
General in Seattle, Washington
helped him and his brother-in-
law file papers for permanent
residency in the United States.
After one year in Seattle
and one and a half years in
Tacoma, he moved to Portland
where he worked until April of
this year.
It is then that he saw the
ad in the classified section of
the newspaper advertising the
position that brought him to
Warm Springs.
Since he began work here
on May 2nd, Perry has joined
the Toastmasters Club where
he has been assigned the duty
of “Table Topics Master”. The
clubs helps people to learn how
to verbally express themselves
comfortably in group situa
tions.
He is currently staying at
Sonny’s in Madras but would
prefer to find a place in Warm
springs with a furnished room.
“It’s a long drive to work each
day,” he sighs.
One gains the impression
that he would like to be more
a part of the community in
which he works and that he
likes people. “The only people
I can’t get along with are
those who don’t want to get
along with me,” says the easy
going Perry.
teepees while at camp, and are
to set up their own teepee.
They will be going on ah over
night hike, sweating in a sweat
lodge, and learn survival tech
niques, to name a few group
activities.
The campers are expected
to learn the Indian Language,
the history of the five reser
vations mentioned, Indian Re
ligion, and foods. They must go
out and gather different types
of foods and identify them.
Then they are taught the pro
per way to prepare the food.
They are also taught songs and
dance to them. They are told
stories and legends and learn
them. From these legends they
are taught respect and disci
pline. They also learn about
Tribal Gov’t and the enter
prises and careers it offers.
They are also required to learn
basic first aid.
The children will be mak
ing some things such as arrow
heads, feather fans, baskets,
tule mats, drums, and tanning
la buckskin.
The camp is open to ages
from eight to 14 years old. No
skills are necessary. Only 50
participants per session will be
allowed. They are required to
have a health and medical
form filled out by a physician.
The date for the Ny-MU-
MAH Summer Indian Youth
Camp is set for July 25
through August 5.
The NY-MU-MAH camp is
generally the same as the
culture camp, but the NY-MU-
MAH camp will have more
recreation and athletics plan
ned. It is funded by the Ameri
can Indian Lawyers Associa
tion. It is for Indians from all
parts of the country to learn
each other’s-culture.
The Lawyers Association
hopes to expand camps to
extend all over the United
States.
Applications can be ob

dorm from Nathan Jim, Cul
