just around the corner. Signs of
spring can be seen with the
flowers blooming. and lawns
turning green, for most people

community the warm weather
has. increased .their chances of:
getting mange. .

problem for dogs in this area.

contagious type of mange most
common in this área. It is
caused by sarcoptic mites.

HOUSE PASSES BILL TO FUND RELOCATIONS FROM
NAVAJO-HOPI LANDS:
A bill authorizing additional federal funds to relocate Indian
families from the former Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area in Arizona
was passed by the House June 1. The new legislation, which now
goes to the Senate, authorizes $15 million annually through 1987
for relocation costs. The bill also would increase incentive
payments to Navajo families on Hopi land to relocate. Eligible
families could receive as much as $15,000 to relocate Voluntarily.
SPOKANE TRIBE WILL VOTE ON CONSTRUCTION OF
$1.5 MILLION BINGO PARLOR:
The Spokane Indian Tribe of Washington State is scheduled to
vote June 18 on whether to build a $1.5 million bingo parlor on
trust land not within the reservation boundaries, according to a
report in the Spokane Spokesman Review.
The question is jurisdiction on the land is a major question
which would probably end up in court. Ron Bailey, assistant
director for law enforcement with the Washington Gambling
Commission, said he thought the land would be under state
control. Tribal councilman, Joe Flett, said the tribe believes its
operation would no fall under state jurisdiction. He explained
that the building would be on property, known as the Chewelah
allotment, which has always been considered Indian land. It was
given in the 19th century to tribal members who comprised a band
of the main tribe.

There were these two guys in a bar one hot day having a cool
one when one said to the other, “I’m really worried, I received a
letter from this guy who said he was going t shoot me if I don’t
stop seeing his wife.” “Well,” his friend said, “why don’t you
just stop seeing her?” “I would, but I don’t know just which one
it is because he didn’t sign the letter.” YIKES
