The staff at Warm Springs elementary are particularly receptive to the idea of having students teachers. Trujillo feels that Warm Springs teachers are very capable of teaching teachers.

Klamath rights upheld On December 30, the U.S. District Court of Oregon upheld the terminated Klamath Indian Tribe’s claim that a 1906 cession agreement between the Tribe and the United States did not abrogate the Tribe’s treaty rights to hunt, fish and trap free of state regulation on the 700,000 acres of land ceded in the agreement The court, recognizing the ongoing use of the ceded area by tribal members and the continuing importance of these treaty rights to the livelihood of the Tribe, held that the treaty rights survived "despite the cession of the land. The court stated that Congress had neither expressly extinguished the rig h ts , n o r did it compensate the Tribe for their loss. Prior to the cession, the 700,000 acres had been excluded from the boundaries of the reservation due to Several erroneous government surveys. The Native American Rights Fund (NARF), together with O regon Legal S ervices, represented the K lam ath Tribes on the recent court matter. NARF attorney Don Miller stated: “This is the first instance of which we are aware that a court has upheld tribal rights to hunt, fish and trap on ceded lands.” Toe Ness S t Local girl doing well at Sherman Janell Smith, granddaughter of Milan and Betty Smith of Warm Springs, has done very well during her first year at Sherman Indian High School in Riverside, California.

All students on the regular honor roll must have a semester grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 and be enrolled in five classes and have no grade lower than a C. I am sad to state there were not any students on the Senior list. Four tribal members in the junior class were among 29 students on the honor roll. They were Anita Bryant, Brigette Macy, Lynn Manion and Alexandria Smith. In the sophomore class, Raymond Calica, Jr., Rebecca Danzuka, Lyman Jim, Howard Patt, Jason Smith and Hiram Yaw joined thirty other students on the honor roll. Ethel Henry, Don Hoaglin, Dannielle Macy, Jason Palmer, Alvis Smith and, Aurel Surface were among 46 students on the Freshman class honor roll. These students worked hard ■ to maintain a high academic achievement during the first semester and everyone should be very proud of their efforts. Let these young people know how proud you are of their achievements and give the other students who did not make the honor roll list your support, encouragement and love.
