Biography
An evening money could not buy
Dear Friends,
Recently. I was privileged to
spend a weekend at Warm Springs
with the Afs students from all over
Oregon. We had approximately
100 foreign students from 42
countries around the world. About
half of them had their host brothers
or sisters with them.
I'm sure two of the outstanding
events of their year in Oregon will
be the Pendleton Roundup and
their weekend in Warm Springs.
Thev will take home pictures and
memories of our Oregon Indian
friends to share all around the
world. This really makes for a
different story of the United States
and Indians than they had from
TV. The goal of our exchange
program is to promote peace and
understanding around the world.
Those of us who volunteer our time
in this way really believe in this.
Perhaps some of you remember
that your own Pam Keo spent a
year in New Zealand with our Afs
exchange. We are proud to count
her a part of our Afs family.
On behalf ofall the studentsand
adults I would like to say thank
you to everyone who let us share
their lives for a short time. I. too.
will never forget the day I got to
work beside and share with your
ladies who so graciously helped
and shared with us. The salmon
was out of this world, the times of
sharingyourculturesand livesand
dances were wonderful. I even had
the thrill of holding Nadine's darling
baby that evening. As I sat there
watchine your people do their dances
and our people joining in with
them. I thought, "this is an evening
that money could not buy only
love."
Thanks so much for letting us
join with you for the weekend. I
hope you enjoyed the day even half
as much as we did.
Love,
Jacque von Borstel

Life seems be at the most dange
rous of all times. I don't know
which way that I'll fall but I know
that I have to get back up and walk
again.
Dear Lord, I'm so confused. All
I feel inside is cold. I don't want to
hurt anymore.
Please Lord, Give me the courage
to stand up and fight for what I feel
is right. Let me have the strength to
fight what truly frightens me, beyond
all things, for what is truly mine.
Dear Lord, I need her.
Please God, give me the strength
that I know I have not asked for
because of anger and resentment.
Please Lord, forgive me for all
the times that I didn't feel like
praying, for not accepting people
as they are and thinking that I hate
them because I really don't.
And I remember Lord. . .1 remem
ber. Take care of Grandma give her
strength that she needs for the will
if it
to go on living.
Lora, i nave laitn even
withers, I will not let it die.
Lord, forgive me. . .Please forgive
me for being so weak that all the
bad feelings that have entered my
mind and heart for the last two
years. I know now that people can
drift without prayer but do not
havestrength to bestrongthrough weak
nesses. Lord, I have many.
My Lord, My God, walk with
me, accept met Lord, for I need
your strength, confidence, patience
and love to be aware of how I treat
people. I want to learn kindness for
my fellow man, for my children,
for me.
Lord, It's been so long since I've
been able to feel good inside, to be
able to grow for the patience and
understanding one person needs to
truly grow.
Dear Lord, I need you
Amen,

To the Editor,
A week's stayat Emanuel Hospital
in Portland has made me appreciate
the care and professionalism of the
staff there and to appreciate, so
much more, my dear family.
From April 21 to April 30 1 was a
patient in the hospital's orthopedic
ward because I had a loose and
painful prosthesis of the left hip.
Doctors Richard Zimmerman and
Paul Campbell performed a surgery
called "revision total hip
orthroplasty."
Physical therapy followed the
operation and therapists Vicki Petri
Jones and Nancy Gilmore worked
with me to help me become as
indepedent as possible. I learned
safety precautions and I worked at
increasing my strength and
endurance.
Emanuel hospital chaplain, Pastor
Coleman, talked with me often and
prayed for my comfort and recovery.
I greatly appreciate the care and
concern given to me by these people.
But most of all, I am grateful to
my family for spending time with
me and visiting me in the hospital.
You really don't know the importance
of your family until you need their
support.
After losing both my mother and
my father I no longer take my
family for granted. It is painful to
see children disrespect their
parents. They should learn how
important parents are and they
should realize that their parents
will not be here forever. They may
not even be here tomorrow.
In particular I would like to
thank my dear Aunt Lee (Ull-la)
for staying with me at the hospital.
She spend much of her time with
me and made me feel safe. She is
the very heart of our family.
I'd also like to thank Mary
Danzuka for bringing my daughters
to see me. Thanks also to my
husband, Richard, to Marie and
Janice and Mackey. They were
there while I was going through
surgery.
And while I'm expressing my
appreciation. I would also like to
thank my family and friends for my
wonderful wedding last day last
November. Richard and I enjoyed
sharing that day with you.

To the Editor,
The Tenth Unity conference held
in Washington, D.C. on April 26
29, 1 986, proved to be a real success.
It was a beautiful gathering of
courageous young Indian men and
women representing many tribes
throughout America. Most ofall,
the youth present have the potential
to become professional leaders. It
was so encouraging to witness the
many adults lending their support
to impress upon our young people
the important features needed to
strengthen their leadership qualities.
I believe through "unity"that Indian
people will achieve economic success
while preserving a healthy and rich
Indian heritage.
I am confident that the four
students from Warm Springs gained
worthy knowledge by attending
and participating in the various
workshops. It was a real privilege
to meet with Senator Mark Hatfield,
Mr. Hakim Khan, Acting Director
of Indian Education, U.S. Depart
ment of Education, and Mr. Alan
Lovesee. Counsel, House Education
and Labor Committee.

A special thanks goes to Caroline
Tohet, Ada Sooksoit, Ellen Thomp
son, and Arlita Rhoan. These women
gave generously of their time to
come to the school to teach the
children about the traditions of
root digging and the Root Feast.
Your children responded enthusias
tically to the presentations. They
asked carefully thought out questions
and behaved very politely and respect
fully. We were very proud of the
children.
We look forward to other oppor
tunities to share the teaching of
Indian culture with parents and
community members.
