Letters to the editor
Indian foresters in demand
funds are currently available
for the tuition.
As you are aware, the
Portland Area Office, Forestry
Branch, began funding an
In d ia n F o r e s te r In te rn
Program in 1980 with the
initial enrollment set at ten.
Unfortunately, there were an
additional 12 applicants that
were qualified but could not be
accepted due to funding
limitations. Since this Intern
Program has been highly
successful, with five out of the
ten already completing their
academic requirements for
conversion to the 460 Forester
Classification, and because of
the great need for Indian
Foresters, we must give the
Intern Program first priority if
any a d d itio n a l fo re stry
education funds become
available.

Dear Mr. Frank:
We have reviewed your
proposal for a forestry
technician training program
which was forwarded from the
Central Office. The concept of
holding this training on the
reservation in conjunction with
Central Oregon Community
College has many advantages
and should be supported. We
are pleased that the Central
Office, Division of Forestry,
can furnish supplies and
equipment even though no

We regret to say, therefore,
that your regular education
programs funds are all that are
available at this time, but we
wholeheartedly support and
applaud your effort since it is
by providing appropriate
education at all levels and inali
areas that the greatest progress
on reservations will be
achieved.
Sincerely,
Acting Assistant Area Director

Dear Folks,
Due to th e lack of

that I am forced to cancel my

In the 36 years I’ve worked in
American Indian projects, this

Happy Thanksgiving to all
parents and students!! I am
very happy that many parents
visited with the high schol
teachers and me during Parent
Conference Day. It was very
beautiful to see many faces at
the school. It will be extremely
beneficial to your child in the
long run.
Parents, I would like to
remind you about becoming
involved with your children as
much as possible with their
education. It shows concern
and caring, especially for those
students who may be entering
“Alternative Education.” After
the quarter, more students may
be placed into Alternative
Education due to lack of
attendance, short credits, and
health. Parents must know
what Alternative Education is
and how it will benefit their son
or daughter. Much encou
ragement is needed for the
Indian youth to keep going and
to “hang in there” no matter
how difficult it may seem.
When a parent is involved, the
road to a diploma may not be
as difficult as it appears.
S tu d e n ts sh o u ld tak e
advantage of the visiting
colleges and programs for
Indian students. Programs
such - as: U n iv ersity of
Colorado, Upward Bound
P rogram , P o rtlan d Area
Indian H ealth P rogram ,
Eastern Oregon State College,
and Central Oregon Communi
ty College. Students should be
sure to sign up with the
counselors and read the daily
announcements so they will
know when the program is at
the high school.
The Title IV Enrichment
program has approved meal
monies for Senior students
wishing to attend the Third
annual Northwest Indian
Education Career workshop at
Chemawa. Any one wanting
more information should see
me as soon as possible.
The Indian club will be
having fund-raising events
from time to time, and I
encourage everyone to help out
in their efforts.
