student to have self m anaging
skills and can be trusted to han
dle special privileges responsi
bility.
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

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.”
