Hello Friends and Relatives, As Miss Pi-Ume-Sha, 1983, I’d like to take this time to share with my people the places where I represented Pi-Ume- Sha during this past summer. I’d also like to thank the committee for their support and their concern about my schooling. D u rin g my tra v e ls to Arizona and New Mexico live been well received. I’ve been traveling since my reign began in June and I returned October 13. There are many, many people who have expressed the desire to attend Pi-Ume-Sha in the future. During my travels, I felt very h o n o re d a n d p ro u d to represent my people at the different powwows. Most powwows had an honor dance for all the visiting royalties, and in some places, I was even asked to judge the dancing. Here is a list of the places that I've been and competitions in which I've placed: * Window Rock 4th of July Powwow, Arizona-2nd place Women’s Buckskin - ♦Isleta Lakes Benefit Powwow ♦Dulcu , New Mexico Little Beaver Pow w ow -1st place team dancing ♦Burnt Corn, Arizona-2nd place, J r ’s girls traditional ♦Sawmill, Arizona (no contest) ♦ G a l l u p , N ew M e x ic o Physicians Powwow ♦Shiprock, New Mexico-Sun Eagle Benefit ♦Fort Hall, Idaho ♦ H o g b a c k 1 st A n n u a l Powwow ♦Isleta Lakes 1st Ahnual Powwow Day Powwow ♦Nayajo Nation Fair powwow September 7-11 ♦Ignacio, Colorado-3rd place parade ♦Gallup, New Mexico Inters Tribal Powwow ♦ N o rth e rn N a v a jo F a ir Shiprock, New Mexico-2nd place women's cloth ♦Holbrook, Arizona AHOOHI1 Finals-2nd place women’s cloth. I was given wonderful recognition during the Navajo Nation Fair in September. I was one of the royalty who was r e c o g n iz e d by N a v a jo Chairman Peterson Zah and 1 received a carnation and a very hospitable welcome. I also got to meet the Tribal Chairman for the Hopi people, Ivan Sidney. During the last two weeks that we were in Arizona, we stayed with one of the Councilmen for the Navajo Nation, Ambrose Shepard and his family. Thanks go to him and his family for all they did - for me and my family during our stay. I hope that 1 can continue» representing my tribe in other powwows, wherever they may be.

Artist willing to preserve past Do you have any old, worn- out or precious photographs of your relatives, certain tribal functions such as dancing, ceremonies or fishing scenes that make up the Warm Springs heritage? I would be interested in reviewing any photos that date back to the 1800’s and through current generations to tell if there is a possibility to reclaim them in a painting. I am also quite interested in photographing and painting contemporary portraits of elders; traditional dancers; other tribal people; legends or social perspectives. Although I am still a maturing artist, I am extremely serious and committed to recapturing the historic and cultural aspects of various tribes for our artistic and spiritual values.
