Exam ples of the type of privi leges w earers of the pin might receive include going to the lunch ahead of the rest o f the class, eating lunch a t a separate table without adult supervision, being awarded a few minutes free recess, having special self managers time in the gym, being class mes senger, etc. The theory behind this being th a t privileges will provide an incentive fo r those w ithout pins to w ork tow ards one. A student m ay have his hom e room teach ers approval, b u t h astn ’t been cooperating in music class. Real izing th at w ithout the pin he w on’t receive special privileges, he just m ight decide it w ilt be worth cooperating in music class to get the music teachers appro val so he could get the pin. Once a student has the Self M anagers Pin, h e/sh e may lose it for breaking a school rule. We have already had three of our Self M anagers lose theirs. If this happens, after a week waiting period, another application may be filled out to regain the pin. At this point thirty five young sters are receiving their self mana gers pins and m any others are close to getting theirs. We have high expectations fo r this pro g ram as we have already noticed im proved be havior on the p a rt of a num ber of children. Indian News Notes TRIBAL LEADERS AT RENO MEETING VETO TO REJECT COM M ISSION RECOM M ENDATIONS: T ribal representatives, at a m eeting Jan u ary 9-10 called by the N ational T ribal C hairm an’s A ssociation, voted 84 to 18 to reject J(. rccom m en(iations prcsented to P resident R eagan N ovem ber 30 (he p residen tial Com m ission on Indian R eservation E cono- mies, the New Y ork Times reported. The story by Iver P eterson said the tribal leaders voiced strong opposition to proposals m ade by the C om m ission to “direct eco nom ic developm ent efforts on reservations aw ay from social goals and tow ard private ow nership and the profit m otive.” It added th a t the proposals were accepted by some Indians as a basis for further discussion of their relationship with the Federal govern ment. The tribal chairm en issued a statem ent th a t the proposals, if carried out, “would lead to a term ination of the special status of Indian tribes and seriously affect their sovereignty and jurisdiction over their reservation lands.” They passed a resolution which asked Congress to hold hearings on the report and to allow the tribes to com m ent. Elm er Savilla, executive director of the chairm en’s association, said the C om m ission’s recom m endations m isinterpreted Indian values by stressing the profit motive as opposed to com m unal concerns. Jim Steele, vice chairm an of the F lathead Indians of M ontana, was one of the 18 m inority voters. He said, “I d o n ’t think we should ju st say no to everything and walk a w a y .. .There are things in the report th a t we’re already doing, like reducing interference ip businesses by the tribal council, and when we just say no to everything, it ju st gives them an excuse to go ahead and ignore us.” YANKTON SIOUX KILLED IN PERSHING MISSLE ACCI DENT JA NU AR Y 11: D uring a routine training operation Jan u ary 11 at Cam p Red- lake, in the Federal R epublic of G erm any, a first state Pershing rocket caught fire and burned. Three A m erican soldiers were killed and 16 others were hospitalized. One of the A m erican soldi ers who was killed was Sergeant T odd Zephier, age 22, a m em ber of the Y ankton S ioux T ribe o f W agner, S outh D akota. His body was flown to D over AFB, D elaw are, where a m em orial service was held. The Old G uard, a special cerem onial unit from F o rt Myer, Virginia conducted full m ilitary honors. The family requested that a U.S. flag th a t had flown over the C apital be used for his service. This was arranged. The Bureau of Indian Affairs assisted the fam ily in obtaining buffalo m eat to.be u,sed in the honoring wake. Burial services were to be held in South Daktota. COURT RULES THAT INDIANS MAY HUM EAGI.ES FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES: A federal appeals court ruled Jan u ary 9 th a t Indians have the right to kill bald eagles and other protected birds on their reserva tions. The ruling by the Eighth U.S' C ircuit C ourt of Appeals in St. Louis said the birds m ay be killed for their feathers and other parts for use in religious ceremonies, but m ay not be sold. The case involved charges against mem bers of the Y ankton Sioux T ribe. The appeals court, citing an 1858 treaty th a t gave the reservation lands to the Y ankton Sioux, said the treaty also gave the Indians the right to exclusive hunting privileges on those lands. It ruled th a t those rights were not changed by later laws passed to protect endangered species. A spokesm an for the environm entalist group, D efenders of W ildlife, said “ We hope the Suprem e C ourt will rule th a t the (endangered species) law applies to Indians ju st as it applies to all other citizens.” Public Notice Gail L.
