Tribal member best for ¡ob
To the Editor,
The appointment o f Priscilla
Henry to director o f the
A lcohol program is the best
move I've seen made in the
Health & Social Service branch
in a long, long time.
This appointment sets the
precedent (that 1 firm ly believe)
th a t a d m in is tra tio n doesn’t
reauire a Doctors. Masters, or
Bachelors degree, nor a high
school dioloma. A dm inistra
tio n is learned on the jo b . One
can receive all the theory and
book learning one wants, but
the art o f adm inistration is on-
the-job experience. One can
c o n t r a c t f o r t e c h n ic a l
expertise, i f and when needed.
th e r e a re tw o m a in
ingredients that determine the
long-term success o f the W arm
Springs Tribes, o r any other
T ribe fo r that matter. These are
dedication and loyalty. Who
can be more dedicated and
loyal to the W arm Springs
Confederated Tribes than a
trib a l member?
We have a lo t o f trib a l
people, young and older, who
are intelligent enough to learn
anything. A ll our people need is
a chance...A chance to be
exposed to the business w orld
o f th e W a rm
S p r in g s
Confederated T ribes...expo
su re a n d t r a in in g w il l
strengthen our people.
I f we don’t stand up for
o u rs e lv e s th e n we a re
prescribing our own oppres
sion...Then our children w ill
have to endure the same
oppression. W hat we enjoy
today is because o f our elders.
W hat o u r ch ildren enjoy
tom orrow w ill be up to us
today. We must all support
each o th e r to endure a
pro d u ctive fu tu re fo r o u r
children.

Are we losing ourtreaty rights? Tribal Council Agenda
(Editor’s Note: This letter
expresses an individual view
which does not reflect the
opinion or have the backing of
the. Warm Springs Tribal
C ouncil, the m ajority o f
enrolled members here, or of
the Spilyay Tymoo. Council’s
decision not to back the below-
mentioned demonstration has
nothing to do with abrogating
or ignoring treaty rights. Also,
since the original letter was
very long and rambling, we
were unable to print it in its
entirety. Although portions
have been deleted, the main
intent of the letter remains
intact.)
Say Springers,
As one o f a few concerned
members from W arm Springs,
we wish to bring to your
attention an event concerning
us all.
To our understanding, a few
o f our river Indians are facing a
loss o f fis h in g steelhead
commercially. As a m ajor
source o f food and income fo r
most, it is possible they are
having th e ir treaty rights
threatened.
A demonstration has been
planned. This doesn't mean
raise up bows and arrows. A
peaceful march w ill suffice.
Maybe we (they?) w ill lose
those rights (treaty rights). Are
o th e r rig h ts being taken
gradually? Let's not get all
hostile and jeopardize the
treaties altogether.
A lthough this Could get
political, our intentions are to
support our people. Some
consider this a step toward
termination. So where exactly
are o u r tre a ty rights? It
probably isn't possible to beat
the system from w ith in the
system. But we wish to reunite
w ith the Celilos, Yakimas,
Umatillas and Nez Perce.
Let us consider what our
forefathers might have decided.
A fte r reading the. treaty, I
wondered^
In conclusion, those o f you
who wish to participate, be
aware o f what you’re getting
involved in. We wish to find
where we stand on treaty rights.
Shall we let them practice the
good word, and .yet whittle
away at our rights?
Let’s consider these points:
In a world o f greed, we must
seek other solutions. For our
people to unite, we may fin d
these answers. Let s not agree
and accept too much and give
away a lot! In the past, it has
happened.
Have you really-'read the
treaty lately? T hey’ve got
points to consider, but so do
we. We don’t have a ll the
answers. So let’s get together
and fin d some.
