hoped. “Conflict of interest
prohibits contact with Warm

they can’t buy me dinner when
they’re in town. But I can’t have
any connection because I will
be making decisions that will

Smith. .
Smith also says that he will

this new position as there is
quite a difference in the
salaries. “As long as that wage
is enough to survive, where I
can live half way comfortably
back there, I’ll feel satisfied.
Because I’m looking at results
and other achievements that
will benefit Indian Country.
And if I accomplish something,
th e n I th in k it w ill be

He also said that some tribal
members have expressed their
feelings about him leaving.
“They don’t want me to leave.
But I think they can understand
the challenge and so forth. Also
the viewpoint that I can do
more for Indian Country while
in Washington than if I stay
here.”
Smith has mixed feelings
about leaving Warm Springs.
“Moving was a hard decision to
make. I hate to leave Warm
Springs, even for four years. It
has been my home all my life.
Before I talked to Mr. Watt,
there were times when I was
really seriously considering it, I
said ‘Gee whiz, I don’t want to
leave.’ Especially when I go
home and look at the river and
open country. Why in the
world would I want to go back
there? I ask myself. It made me
get sentimental about the
whole area.
“But the other hand,” Smith
continued. “I guess you have to
strike out some time. It’s only
for four years and if I make
up my mind it’s only for four
years with that thought, I’ll be
back. I’m going back to see
what I can accomplish.”
