LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Well, we are some of the
younger people from the Warm
Springs area, but we aren’t
around because we are incarc
erated for the time being. And we
hope to come home and speak
our language with the help of the
Spilyay Tymoo.
We read the paper every
time we get it! It brings the spirit
of home into our hearts, and that
is something to be grateful for...
Also, the people at home and our
friends not to forget...the land,
the deer, elk, salmon, berries,
roots, everything we can think
of. Also, to learn more of the
Indian ways and to understand
them and respect them in our
special way!
The “Great Grandfather Spi
rit” has listened to our prayers
but that’s not enough. Now we
must try hard to learn our
language. As we read the Spilyay
Tymoo, we look for a new word,
BUT - as always we see the same
“E Coosh Eewa” (the way it is).
It would be nice to see a new
word in every paper if it could be
possible.
Well, thank you for your
time, and here’s a poem that is
well liked by our Indian club. I
would like to share it with our
people because it comes from the
heart. And would like to see it in
the Spilyay Tymoo.
If you can’t put a new word
in, we would like to know why.
We are the “great-grandchild
ren” from the “Great Grand
father Spirit”.
