To learn the history of the
early day lifestyle of our forefa
thers, I was fortunate to take
the tour with the Culture and
Heritage Committee, Senior
Citizens and other individuals
through the ceded areas on
April 14, 15 and 16, 1986.
Imagine the procedure that
took place year-round for
survival of our people long We have also received excellent

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!

place, special names were given. 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.
