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:

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.
Sincerely,
Dorothy Mae Yahtin

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. On this note I
wish these works to eventually
