Four Oregon State Univer
sity student teachers have
joined the staff at Warm
Springs elementary for eleven
weeks as part of their teacher
training. The students have
been placed in four different
classrooms for their teaching
experience.
Student teacher Ember
Cripen works in Harry Phillip’s
sixth grade classroom, Peggy
Barrett in Bill Huff’s fourth
grade room, Margaret Stucky
in Dawn Smith’s first grade
room and Cheryle Defrees in
Mary Huey’s second grade

“More and more students
request experience working
w ith I n d ia n s t u d e n t s , ”
Principal John Trujillo says.
“We can provide student
teachers with a meaningful
experience,” he feels.
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.
The student teachers are
being housed in 509-J teacher
housing units in Warm
Springs.
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.”

I am very pleased to
announce the first semester
honor roll students for 1982-83.
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.
I received a letter from the
U niversity of C o lo rad o ,
American Indian Upward
Bound Program which is a
program for high school
students in the fields of math
and science. Two students were
accepted into the program and
they were Cyril Jim and Dena
Smith. The program begins
June 15 and ends July 27,1983.
Two o th er stu d en ts are
currently in the program and
they are Rebecca Danzuka and
Daniel Lawrence.
