NINA members meet in Toppenish
Press representatives from
the Rawhide Press of
Wellpinit, Washington the
Yakima Nation Review of
Yakima, Washington and
Spilyay Tymoo of Warm
Springs attended the annual
meeting or Northwest Indian
News Association in Toppe
nish October 5 and 6. 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.

on Indian Water Rights
The American Indian
Lawyer Training Program, Irie.
(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.

There were these two rival authors who met on the street.
One had just published a very good book. The othersaid, “I’ve
just read your book and it was great. Who wrote it for you?”
“I’m so glad, so glad you enjoyed it,” said the first author,
with a smile. Who read it to you?” YIKES!!!

Chemawa Student Participates in International Track Meet in
Korea:
Charlie Mountainchief, a Blackfeet Indian from Browning,
Montana and a student at Chemawa Indian School, was one of
about 50 athletes selected from the West Coast to represent the
USA in a track meet with 12 other countries. Charlie finished 6th
in the 5,000 meter race. Chemawa held a special assembly
September 11 to honor him.
President Expresses Renewed Commitment to Indians:
Interior Secretary James Watt told Arizona Indian leaders
September 16 that President Reagan wanted them to be told of his
“commitment to Indian needs.” Watt said the President, when he
was told about Watt’s planned meeting with the Arizona Inter
tribal Council, asked him to convey that message to Indian
leaders.
Watt, who was accompanied by Assistant Secretary for Indian
Affairs Ken Smith, told the tribal chairmen that Smith was a
“tough, tough advocate for Indian rights and issues. He is a good
advisor and a good counselor on Indian affairs.”The council gave
Watt and Smith a series of policy recommendations dealing with
tribal consultation, the process for selecting area directors, budget
concerns and economic development on reservations.
