PAGE 12 OCTOBER 11, 1982 SPLYAY TYMOO Education conference set Opposition to the closing of Indian schools will be one of the main actions expected at the upcom ing F o u rteen th Annual Convention of the N ational Indian Education Association (NIEA). The meeting, to be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Orleans November 20-23, is expected to put the organiza tion squarely on record as opposed to the school closing. The organization has issued a special call for early pre registration for the convention because of the urgency of this and several other key issues. Art Hill, President of the 2,000 member organization, states that he expects the altern ativ e to the school closings will be fo r the government to allow tribes to operate the schools under contract. He has advocated in Congressional testimony and elsewhere that the schools be kept open in accordance with treaty provisions. The Reagan administration has stated its opposition to having Indian education a trust responsibility. This issue and others will be addressed at the convention by Ken Smith, Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs. S m ith, the top federal official in Indian affairs will be one of the key speakers at the convention, which is expected to attract upwards of 5,000 people from all across the nation. Other speakers include D r. F ra n k R y an , ch ie f e x e c u tiv e o f th e In d ia n Education Program in the Department of Education, and Philip Martin, President of the National Tribal Chairmen’s Association (NTCA). The closing of Indian schools w ill be one o f several controversial items on the meeting agenda. Others include the proposed transfer of the Indian Education Program to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, whether Indian education is a trust responsibility of the federal government, the effect on Indians of the proposed block grants in education to the States, and the concern over budget cuts, which have already affected many Indian programs. Because of the importance of the issues, Mr. Hill says, the Indian people of the nation, and edu cato rs of Indian children, are expected to attend the convention in force.

Tymoo reserves the right to edit all Kids stag e pow w ow St Pat’s Cowdeo On October I the Warm Springs Elementary school held their first school assembly. This was to recognize their outstanding students for the month from each grade level. This was the first assembly since school started this year and afterward parents and friends were invited to the school for a powwow. The purpose of the powwow was to get the elders of the tribe to come and help teach some of the old traditional ways to the children—traditional songs, d a n c e s and m e th o d s of carrying out the old ways of the past. There was a very good turn out of parents and friends as they joined in the powwow along with the kids. All the dances and songs will be helpful to the cultural studies for the children, the school staff believes. Last springs at the end of the school year a similar powwow was presented by the students. That was such a success tha it was suggested a powwow at the beginning of the year could be of great help. There was the traditional men’s war dance put on by the boys and girls traditional dance. The kids even put out some fancy dancing for the parents and spectators. The faculty also joined in with the kids since this was a powwow for all.
