PACE 8 January 15, 1988 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilvay Tymoo Someone cares lhat gac everyone and everything equal rights to live or exist. Even the smallest stone or blade or grass, uas given the equal opportunity to live in peace, and in the manner for which it was created. I oday, everyone tries to make us into things that we are not. or we do it to ourselves. Somehow, we have been led to believe that by becoming something else, it will be better. Mow is it better if you are a stranger to yourself and your fam ily? How is it better if we do not know who we will be tomorrow. What can you do to make things better, even if you believe that things are great already? Become that which you were created to be. If you are an Indian person, then you must be a spiritual person. You must have a spiritual relation ship with every other thing in this world to be that which you were created to be. I here is no life with out the spirit, and good life can only come from the influence of a good spirit. You cannot make crea tions constructed of light and love, become things of darkness, because good is good, and darkness is dark ness. You must understand that there are two kinds of spirits. The kind of spirit that brings you trouble, is one of darkness, hate, jealousy, and all the things that will destroy you. On the other hand, the spirit of light belongs to God. whether or not we believe, the spirit of light, love, sharing, strength. and so on. all belong to God, and no one else. You must stand up as an indi vidual, and be determined to give Loaning to be After lending out sewing machines, dehydrators, pressure canners, sleep ing bags, tents, VCR and monitor to the public for several years, we have deciced to discontinue this service. The replacement and repair cost of lost and damaged equip ment has become a prohibitive cost to our program. We feel this fund ing could be spent more effectively to teach skills and offer more learn ing opportunities for adults and youths. We will continue to lend equip ment to departments provided they accept the responsibility for care of Apprenticeship crew begins The Education OTS department is in the process of having our apprenticeship crew build two homes in the Dry Creek sub division. Our cr -w consists of: Leroy Bobb, Ron (. Icnents, Dolan Waheneka, Domi n. . avis, Leon Tenorio, Raymond (Butch) Miller, Byron Berry and Steve Smith. They are supervised by Alvis Smith, Jr. and Ben Ander son. The homes will be completed by March 1, 1988 I n the month of December Leroy Bobb, Ron Clements, and Steve Smith attended the Willamette Car pentry training center for apprent iceship training.

When old people used to say, "1 his is my land," they did not mean that they "owned" the land, but that they were a part of it. No one can own anything that was created full of life. Can you own your brother.' Can you make the Earth stop in a earthquake. Can you make a bird desire "not to fly?" Neither can anyone or anything stop you from being that which you were created to be, except that they destroyed you. But while you live as a creation of God. nothing can remove the spirit that makes you who you are. except God. No one can take lhat away which is you, even if they destroy you. Even if you are locked away in a cell, no one can stop you from being that great and wonderful person that you were created, although "you" have the authority to pretend that you are someone other then that which you were created to be. The true concept of freedom, is our authority given to us by God, not to be w hat we don't want to be. We can give up that authority, and let someone change us, or we can change ourselves into something else slowly or quickly. If we live in darkness, we can give it up and live in light, and if we live in light, and prefer darkness, we can give up light and move into darkness. It is not a natural thing for an Indian person to be anything but an Indian person, and the only way to remain and strengthen the Indian in us, which is our creation, is to discontinued the equipment while in their use. We will also continue to allow individuals to use the sewing machines, dehyrdrators and pres sure canners in the 4-H kitchen.

I pray that no more of our Indian people destroy them selves in this way or that, because things are not as they should be. If you feel or believe that all is hope less, and nothing matters anymore, its because you have lost sight of w ho you were created to be. Throw away those things that are destroy ing you and your people, and pick up those things which have belonged to you since time began. Pick up love for one another, respect for one another, sharing with one another, and pick up your life out of the darkness and step into the light of life. Indian people are not to be a part of this world that is prejudiced or racist, discontent and dissatisfied, hateful and destructive. Indian people are created to be in harmony with all spiritual life that exists. Find out who you are in this world, in family and in spirit. Sup port every effort to restore the traditional-cultural knowledge of your people. Give your time to help those who are trying to sort out all of the information that is so valua ble to your spiritual existence. Go to your elders and others, and encourage them to teach you about who you are, so that you will not become lost in a world full of dar kness. Save your life.

Smith, S. for his thought fulness in thinking of the youth of this community by putting on a non-alcoholic dance on December 31. 1987and January I and 2, 1988. This event came about when my husband and I were talking at the table one evening about the youth being ignored and the community advertising the majority of the acti vities for the adults. As we talked of the high rate of suicide and drug and alcohol abuse, we wanted to do for the youth because we hear and see the youth crying for help, but yet we, the adults, are ignoring their cry. So, we decided to do something for that cry, no matter what price. So, he unselfishly took from his bonus funds money to hire a band, get posters made to advertise, bought hot dogs, buns and soda, etc. to prepare for the dance. He donated to the community center billboard, paid the janitor's wages for three nights, paid for the rent of the gym, bought the decora tions, hats and noisemakers for the youth. We had one set of parents show up with their family for one of the three nights of dancing. When are we as a community, going to start helping our youth? That night we talked until our hearts hurt. We wanted to try and help the youth, but it becomes an obstacle to do good when we, as adults, can do nothing but tear each other down. Does it seem more important to take our monies to the taverns or to the stores that sell liquor or donate to the big breweries of America so they can continue to become the billionaries while our Indian people dwindle in Court Notices The Confederated Tribes or (he Wirm Springs Reservation of Oregon Johnny Liltlefish Defendant Notice of Trial Hearing for Publication Case No. t K602-87 To: Johnny Liltlefish You are hereby notified: That the above cited casefs), as filed in the Warm Springs Tribal Court, has been scheduled for trial hearing at 9:00 a.m., on the Sth day of February.

'i f -V -If-9 '4 '1 ' Geo-quiz disbelief? During our lives we have seen many families homeless and without food and shelter. You can expand that last sentence to apply to the families of America and find it is because of greed of the people. Is that the standard we want to pass on to our future generations? What about the churches in the community? A small group of peo ple willing to proclaim their faith, can help separate those who are dwindling in disbelief together. It can further wield unbelievable influence in our community. Just a handful of people with deep con viction and honest concerns have led entire communities to outlaw influences, such as pornographic literature, drugs and alcohol and to provide alternatives for those con templating an abortion, etc. Even one individual can make a differ ence. Although apathy of some Christians, who mix status in with religion and wickedness of society, are discouraging obstacles. We should pray and get together to do for our youth to develop a fullness of the soul. Give them something help them to make a choice. It takes only a few courageous, sincere, praying and doing believ ers to make a tremendous impact. No rebuke is so powerful as the influence of a good example.
