Imagine the procedure that took place year-round for survival of our people long We have also received excellent aeo. The stories told hv the support from the Madras com- v - - j To the Editor, KWSI has been on the air for almost three months, and it has been a resounding success. The success can be attributed to many factors, but perhaps the biggest factor is the support KWSI has gotten from the people of Warm Springs. KWSI appreciates the fine support from Tribal Govern ment, the Secretary-Treasurer's Office, Senior Management, Spilyay Tymoo, and of course the people of Warm Springs. munity, and other areas of Central Oregon. Our goal is to be the very best radio station we can be! KWSI has made great strides toward that goal, but we need the conti nued support of all Central Oregonians to reach the excel lence the people of Warm Springs deserve. KWSI, like any commercial radio station, is dependent on advertisers to help pay the bills. We have been fortunate to have many friends in the business community that have been willing to advertise on KWSI. The com mercials you hear on KWSI are purchased by the people who are supporting you, the people of the Warm Springs Reservation. I would like to ask you to support the people you hear advertising on KWSI. As an example, if you are thinking of buying a car. . .the car dealers who have supported us are Shrum Ford of Prineville, Robertson Ford Mazda and Jim Smolich Motors of Bend, Dorn Brothers and Hamilton Chevrolet of Redmond, Thomas Sales and Service of Madras. These are the off reservation business peo ple who are spending money with the Tribes. Every advertiser heard on KWSI is "supporting the Tribes, so please keep them in mind when you go about your daily shopping. Again, I would like to thank everyone who has supported KWSI. We really appreciate it! and playing soon on a radio near you. . .KWSO, featuring Educational and Native American programming!

Nowadays you rarely hear the name of a campsite like "Lu Lu-Kush,"and names like "Whitk-Whitk," "Kahuul kahuul-lee," (Fish) "Ah-sum," "Tahka-shee." Today, many of the small communities such as Post, Paulina, Dayville, Spray, Antelope, Shaniko, Grass Valley, . LaMonte, were all campsites for the tribes years ago.- The time element was against those who were on the tour. There just wasn't enough time to see everything, but what was covered was well worth the time, for me to learn things I never dreamed of knowing took place there. All these areas are still intact for the use of gathering roots, berries and hunting under term of the treaty years ago, that is to hunt, fish, gather roots at the usual and accustomed areas.
