Justin leading in all -
by Pat Leno-Baker
Some young boys express that
when they grow up they want to be
cowboys. But for seven-year-old
Justin Tom, that dream may well
be a reality when he grows up. He's
already a giant step ahead of those
other boys. Justin is presently
leading in two peewee rodeo asso
ciations for the "all-around" titles.
Justin is a member of the High
Desert Lil' Bronc, the Central
Oregon Peewee Rodeo Association
and the Northwest Peewee Rodeo
Association. He is leading total
points in the races for "all-around
cowboy" in the High Desert and
Central Oregon associations.
During the last couple months
he has found time to attend school,
play T-ball and, of course, rodeo.
With summer almost here and
school going to be out, Justin plans
to take part daily in the Warm
Springs Recreation program. But a
close look at his activities shows
that rodeo seems to be a main event
in his life.
Rodeoing is a family affair for
Justin and his parents, Lee and
Cheryl Tom of Warm Springs. His

be held in conjunction with the
Warm Springs Speakers series June

grass, Cedar and Sage" will be the

"Women of Sweetgrass, Cedar
and Sage" features the art work of
30 Native American women artists
from 20 different tribes. The exhibit
consists of 52 paintings, paints,
photographs, works on paper,
jewelry, beaded items, works in
clay, weavings, tapestries and bas
kets. Many of the pieces were made
especially for the show. The exhibit
is touring the nation for 1 8 months.
It will be sponsored in the Northwest

father, Lee, normally spends his
summer weekends climbing on the
backs of saddle bronc horses at
rodeos throughout the Northwest,
but this summer Lee plans to stick
close to home and take in roping
events. Last year he suffered an
injury so hell spend this summer
"healing up."
Justin's mother Cheryl is the
"bookkeeper." She is responsible
for keeping track of all the points
that Justin earns with each rodeo
organization. In all the organi
zations, each cowboy and cowgirl
earns five points for first, four points
for second, three points for third,
two points for fourth and one point
for fifth. At the end of the rodeo
season the points totaled will deter
mine the winner of the "all-around"
title. In the Central Oregon Peewee
Association, Justin is in the lead
and he plans to continue with his
trend. Justin is shooting for the
title which would earn him a saddle
and a dollar for each point he has
earned.
At the May 10 Crooked River

place in barrels, pole bending and

Lillian Pitt, Warm Springs Yaki
ma Indian, has risen to national
and international fame in the last
five years with her creation of her
Raku fired masks. Her work is
currently traveling with the "Women
of Sweetgrass, Cedar and Sage."
Lillian's masks are "a vivid reminder
of a spirit world that was once an
integral part of the. lives of the
people of the Pacific Northwest."
The evening's program at the
Agency Longhouse will begin at 7
p.m. with a reception followed by a
slide presentation and lecture by
Smith. Local artists will have their
art work on display at the Longhouse.
Everyone is invited to attend.

firsts in pole bending and barrels, a
second in pony bucking and a third

At the Northwest Peewee Rodeo
Association in The Dalles, May 24
and 25, Justin won the "all-around
cowboy"trophy. He is the present
leader of that association with only
attending one of the Northwest
rodeos. Justin earned a first in goat
tying, a second in pony bucking, a
third in calf riding and fourth in the
barrels.
It takes devoted rodeo families
to keep up the pace of attending
rodeos every weekend. Justin comes
from one such family.
Moses instrumental in forming college
by Del Mar Geary
"A strong mind. . .gentle strength,
he is a quiet leader with the group's
interest at heart," says Connie
Mesquita, counselor of the Multi
Cultural Centerat Lane Community
College.
The person she is speaking of is
William (Bill) Moses, a first year
student at Lane Community College
in Eugene, Oregon. He is studying
radio broadcasting in the mass
communications department at the
college. "I'm hoping to get all the
education I can so I can go home
(to Warm Springs), and work on
the air or possibly as an engineer at
KWSI, our tribal radio station. I'm
not taking any engineering courses
as of yet, that will come as the
school year progresses. Hopefully
Summer rec. program
Summer fun begins June 18 with
the Warm Springs summer recrea
tion program for 1 986. The program
is sponsored by the Warm Springs
Tribe in conjunction with the Com
munity Center.
Working for the summer recrea
tion program this year will be Lyle
Rhoan, Sr. as director, Fran Moses-
Ahern, sportsathleticS, Andy'
Leonard, sports athletics; Austin
Greene, fitness coordinator and
Carol Allison, arts and crafts.
To participate in the program,
children are asked to observe regu
lations. Children need to wear sturdy
shoes to all activities. On the field
trips, children will not be allowed
to wear thongs or sandles. It is
safer for children to wear a sturdier
shoe. The staff also requests that
children not bring any glass con
tainers to the Community Center.
The gym will be open Monday
through Friday from 8 to 8:30 a.m.
and 12 to 1 p.m. Use of the weight
room will be up to the discretion of
the staff. Children seven years and
younger will not be allowed in the
weight room. Ages eight to 14 can
use the weight room if a waiver has
been signed by a parent or guardian
and is on file plus a parent or
program supervior is in attendance.
For 15 to 18 years of age, a! waiver
Archaeologist helps provide understanding of past
Continuity exists between living
culture and that of the past. Archaeo
logy can fill in missing gaps in the
knowledge of past culture through
the examination of material
evidence.
"Indian culture today is the living
part of that heritage. Material re
mains are the physical evidence of
that past," explains Warm Springs
archaelogist Daniel Mattson. "The
landscape contains evidence of the
lives of people which spans thousands
of years. This is an invaluable,
irreplaceable and endangered tribal
resource.
As an archaeologist Mattson is
involved with identification and
protection of cultural artifacts and
with recording archaeological and
historical sites on tribal lands. The
Bureau of Indian Affairs has been
directed to preserve and record
archaeological sites. All federal un
dertakings are required by law to
consider the impact of proposed
projects on cultural resources.
The major portion of Mattson's
work load is through the forestry
department with funds from money
withheld by law from tribal timber
earnings for administration of forest
lands. Because of the large-scale
forestry program in Warm Springs
it is necessary to have someone in
the capacity of archaeologist to
allowproperclearanceforcontinuing
operations, says assistant forest ma
nager William Apgar.
In his work as archaeologist with
the forestry department Mattson
emphasizes he "is not here to hold
up economic projects but to make
a record of tribal resources which
might be destroyed."
Weavers asked for demonstrations
The Weaving Guilds of Oregon,
(WEGO). are responsible for the
fiber arts demonstrations at the
1986 Oregon State, Fair, Friday,
August 22 thru September I. The
focus is on Oregon. Oregon expertise
and Oregon products.
They would like demonstrations
of Indian Fiber Arts and displays if
possible. There are glass front cases
available for displays of fiber samples
and woven pieces. A generous area
for demonstrations is also available.
The fair will open with demonstra
tions by Oregon Indians on Friday,
August 22. Any other day persons
can demonstrate their art. Fair
hours are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Demonstrations are on a volunteer
basis. There are no monetary fees
available. Payment is in educating
the general public in the fiber arts.
This will further serve to promote
the Oregon Indian Heritage and
superior knowledge of native plants
and fibers.

plan of William Moses. Moses is

Native American club at Lane Com

accompany a group of Inter-National
students to Warm Springs to

he is very proud of. The trip is to
