I think the staff o f Spilyay Tymoo isd o in g a very good jo b in keeping the people informed. Keep it up. In closing I would like to offer this poem and would appreciate it if you would set aside a small space in one o f the future copies o f Spilyay Tymoo and p rin t it because I feel it does a little b it to in fo rm people about w hat’s happening w ith a lo t o f young Indians today. The little o f this poem is To the W hite M an but it can be to anybody. To the W hite M an I am the tracks, still following old buffalo trails, I am a war cry, which died last night and cannot be heard today. But, thoughl read about the past, and though I admire old stone arrowheads, and old broken teepee poles, my tracks have long' since stopped following the dead buffaloes trails, I walk these lonely cement creek beds, among these mighty canyon walls, and I am searching for my war cry once again I am a thing o f the past, I am an old stone arrowhead, I am an old broken teepee pole, John Selam tribal member, P.O.

But this is par fo r the course, considering the “ green ness” o f my horse and the effect the c a p a c ity c ro w d and surroundings had on him. This was actually his first pressure competition and his first .long distance trip out o f Sidwalter Flat. We did, however, place third in the final go. Hopefully we w ill be heading back to the IN F R again, with more experience under the belt and “ horse sense” under the saddle.

I am very interested in Indians and some weeks ago I wrote a leter to the American Embassy in Denmark. I asked fo r some in fo rm a tio n on Indians in America, and 1 received book-lists and other inform ation. Some days ago I also received a letter from the Bureau o f In d ia n A ffa irs in Washington. They gave me Missing Names The names o f two men, M arvin Ike and Ham ilton Greeley, were inadvertently left o ff the list o f veterans who served our country during wartime. They also served and should have been listed w ith the others in our last issue. Note of Thanks We would like to thank all o f those friends and relatives who attended our 21st birthdays dinner held on November 8. some good inform ation too, e.g. a map over the reservation in America. On the back o f that map I found your address. I hope that somebody w ill write a letter to me, so that we n o to n ly can be friends, but also discuss the Indians’ problems. It doesn’t m atter how old you are; I w ouldn’t mind w riting a letter to a 70 year old person, as long as he/ she has the same hope as I have: That the Indians some day w ill have better co n d ition s in th e ir reservations. Just so that you know: I ’m almost 16 and I ’m a girl.
