"Provided also, that the exclusive right of taking fish In the streams running through and border ing said reservation is hereby secured to said Indians; and at all other usual and accustomed stations, In common with citizens of the United States, and erecting suitable houses for curing the same; also the priviledge of hunting, gathering roots and berries, and pasturing their stock on unclaimed lands, in common with citizens, is secured to them." Last fall, several hunting mem bers of the Confederated Tribes went out on land set aside by the Treaty of 1855 near Prineville, for. a ceremonial hunt. This particular hunt was an exer cise of Treaty Rights of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. The ceremonial hunt was author ized to bring home 40 deer, with full intent to use the meat and hides for "specific occasions," the prior ity being funerals. Once the deer were in cold storage, arrangements were made with the Culture and Heritage department to set up a training program for tribal members and their families. You have to keep in mind, that this training is a result of a cere monial hunt, and carries with it, the knowledge that the hunt itself, the meat and the hides, are meant to be used in a most important way. That means, also, those who instruct how to cut and dry the meat, and tan the hides, and those who come for instruction, are parJ ticipating a "ceremonial" project,! which is for the good of all. - ! Therefore, the wage for your hours of labor, are for the good of all the people of Warm Springs, and are greatly appreciated by all who receive the fruit of your labor. Is it not true, that sharing and giving one to another are "H onors" to the people. The instructors did receive other payment for their time and know ledge, and we know that the time and effort were well earned. place silver medal in the 50 meter dash and a sixth place ribbon in the frisbee toss. Sincerely Steve and Sheryl Courtney Don and Ellen Courtney Eva Walsey Families express appreciation To the Editor, The families of Martha Henning McKinley, Bill Eyle, Sr. and Mar gie Danzuka Smith would like to tell everyone thank you for coming to the memorial d inner that was held on April 4, 1987, at the Sim nasho Longhouse. We would also like to thank the Council for the donation of salmon and deer meat and also the dona tion from Sal Sahme and Olivia Kirk of food that they brought and the donation for the give away. The family would like to thank the drummers and singers for the services that were held during the memorial. The families would like to thank the cooks that helped during the services when all the families had to participate. We would like to extend a very grateful thank you to Phillip David and his family for all the help that they had given. Martha Henning McKinley had six daughters' 37 grand children (approximately) and 56 great grand children (approximately). We would to thank all the people who stayed for the dinner that followed the of traditional ways beneficial to all What about the students? We have received inquires about pay ment for attending the classes on "Traditional methods" of cutting and drying the meat, and tanning hides. The instructors were given more than the students, because they were instructors, and they have maintained their knowledge of these things, and have used this know ledge to benefit others, over and over again. What the instructors are delivering to the students, is not something of their own, but belongs to their parents, and their parents, and generations of your people. They have managed to keep the knowledge in their camp, and in the way that they were taught. This is the way they receive more than the students. On the other hand, the student must be "honored" that they have the opportunitiy to learn a way of life, a way of survival for thousands of our brothers and sisters. A student should be able to learn the "old ways" of doing things, without having to meet all the requirements of learning in the old days when things were a lot tougher. There were no cars to get around, or starting at 10 a.m. or noon or quitting after a few hours, or learn ing if you felt like it, or have time. It was necessary if you wanted to survive. Did anyone give thanks for their life when they awoke, and ask for protection and blessings for their day, and give thanks for the deer which was provided free, and most of all, did you pray, that whoever receives this potion of your labor, will be greatly blessed. Are your needs greater than those who will receive the meat and hides from your time and effort. You had and felt a need to learn, and learn you will, and the rewards will be greater than what we could ever give to you. Today, all we have to do is go to the store. And when we start think ing that everything will be provided through these stores, we begin to give up knowledge given to us by our Elders, on how to take care of He(p wanted Wanted: Janitor on the Deschutes River.

Sometimes, when we put things away, we lose them, and can never find the same thing again. Do not put away that great know ledge of your Elders, and the gen erations before them, like the people on the outside of the Indian World do. Do not put away someone who can teach you to be that Indian you were intended, but instead listen, then learn. Do not concern yourself with who is teaching who or the method that they are teaching. Instead, learn everything vou can, and become that person that the generations of your families knew you could be. Become that "teacher" for your children. Do not put away who you are and become lost.
