The small turnout prevented members from conducting their business meeting which was to include election of officers and other matters. However, NINA presented awards to winners of the first annual NINA Communica- tions Contest. Fifteen awards were given. The judges, Kim Crompton and Alice Feinstein of the Spokane Daily Chronicle, were told not to award prizes unless the material merited an award so that the awards were more meaningful. None of the Spilyay Tymoo staff submitted entries to the contest. NINA members as well as local TV and newspaper representatives had a press conference with Jerilyn LeBeau, Miss Indian America 1981, Lisa Bell, Miss National Teen-Ager 1981, who is from Wapato, and Arline George, Miss Yakima Nation. In her appearances across the United States, Miss LeBeau stresses to young people the importance of education and encourages them to compete in the tough world. She also said it is important for Indian media organizations to continue their struggle so that the problems and concerns of Indians be communicated properly and accurately to those who are unfamiliar, misinformed and out-of-touch with such matters.

(AILTP) has announced a symposium on Indian water rights, entitled a “Symposium on Indian Water Policy in a Changing Environment.” The Symposium will be held at the Claremont Resort Hotel in Oakland, California this coming November 8,9, and 10. The Symposium on Indian Water Policy, sponsored by AILTP, is being convened by five Indian organizations to provide a forum for the discussion of issues affecting all tribes in response to the growing controversy over Indian entitlement to water. The convening organizations include the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, the California Tribal Chairmen’s Association, the American Indian Bar Association, The Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc., and the Native American Rights Fund. With intensified demands for water to support industrial growth and expanding populations, competing water users have begun to question both the extent of Indian entitlement to water, as well as tribal authority to regulate the use of water on or near Indian reservations. The United States Supreme Court has confirmed reserved Indian rights to water necessary to fulfill the purposes for which Indian reservations were created, but has left largely unresolved the issue of which government Will have jurisdiction to allocate and manage water resources.
