To my people, young and old,
Are we, the people of Warm
Springs, letting our Law and
Order department get out of
hand? I think they are applying
state laws on our reservation to
our people when it should be
our tribal laws that apply.
When an Indian person is
suspended in a state court from
driving then that is where it
should be enforced, off the
reservation, in state land. It is
m y u n d e r s t a n d i n g th is
suspension applies in the state
so a person shou.d be able to
drive on the reservation.
I think it is wrong for the
police to pick up a parent who
has their children with them
and then to place the children
in jail with the parent. I would
like to know what our Law and
Order is coming to and where it
is going.
I think in hiring “green
horns” from no where, who
have no idea where the people
live, is not a good idea. I ask
why do we have guys like this
working for us? I think we are
getting pretty hard-up to put
these kinds of people to work
on our police force.
I feel if these people put to
work on the police force should
have to take a test on their
familiarity with the Warm
Springs geographical loca
tions. They should be able to
know where to go when they
are needed. It seems all these
“greenhorns" come on our
r e s e r v a tio n a n d to tla lly
disregard our traditional and
cultural ways.
I have heard of incidents
when they rush to stop an
incident and after they get
there, they let the violator go.
This doesn’t seem right for the
“bad guys” are let go to
possible endanger the innocent
once aga n.
These “greenhorns” come
here to earn the money and we
p a y g .o o d m o n e y f o r
policemen. I ask, why should
we pay so much to these people
when they don’t do a good job?
I think they should read the
Law and Order Code of our
reservation and know it.
This is no joke!

Will miss Eva’s fitness program
To the Editor,
I read with much dismay the
article on budget cuts in the last
issue of the Spilyay Tymoo. My
anxiety comes from learning
that the Assistant Director of
the Community Center has
been cut from the 1983 budget,
which will leave a large gap in
the Center’s programs.
In particular, the noontime
aerobic and physical fitness/
conditioning programs may
disappear altogether, since
nothing was mentioned in the
article about Eva Montee’s
programs being carreid on as
usual.
1 have worked for many
companies, large and small,
over the years and when I came
to work for The Confederated
Tribes, I was pleased and
amazed that I was offered a
physical fitness program, free
of charge. O f course, I
immediately took advantage of
the noontime aerobic classes

increased physical fitness, loss
of fat, better ability to cope
with stress on the job, and a
generally better attitude about
myself and others around me. I
credit Eva for my increased
awareness. Literally hundreds
of Warm Springs residents and
employees have benefited from
Eva’s fitness programs as well.
I would never attempt to
second-guess the powers that
be who determined that the

talks of the timber resource
saying, “Timber, unlike coal
and oil and some other
resources, is a renewable
resource and always has a
future. We need to look at
future needs, problems and
resources of the future, as well
as how our tribes will use this
great asset of timber as a base
for further development.”

Putting this in cord figures, it’s

loudly. I have been through

low stumpage rates in timber

discussing this but I feel I have
a right to do so. It is our trees.
