W alt and his fam ily h ave lived in W arm Springs for six years. Earlier this year he applied for a fire m anagem ent officer’s position at San Carlos and was accepted. He has 26 years w ork ing for the Bureau7 of Indian Affairs and he felt the time was right to start looking at some of the career goals which he had set for himself. One of those goals was to move to the South west as he nears the 30 years m ark in his career. He applied and was accepted for the posi tio n . He w ill start his new job on May 28., W alt will leave for San C ar los during the third week of M ay but his wife and children will not leave until after school is out. W alt’s wife, Kay, will.fin- ish the packing and driv eto San Carlos around June 6. Their new home will be in an àrea th at is very sim ilar to the W arm Springs àrea, with rim- rocks, canyons and pine forest. There will be a m arked differ ence ift life style since Warm Springs is quite a b it more ad vanced, says Sixkiller. The Sixkillers both stated they have enjoyed the W arm Springs com m unity, the tribal activities and m ost o f all, the people. Leaving W arm Springs will give W alt an opportunity to develop his career but his one regret is saying good-bye to the W arm Springs people.- Kate, Gabe, Walt Sixkiller
