The annual Warm Springs rodeo
scheduled during the Pi-Ume-Sha
weekend June 25 and 26 went a new
direction this year. The rodeo was
withdrawn from being a sanctioned
Western States All-Indian rodeo
Association and went to the status
of being an open show for Indians.
With the possible threat of being
fined by WSIRA, a majority of the
members of that organization chose
not to compete at Warm Springs.
WSIRA cowboys are cowboys
from the states of Washington,
Oregon, Northern California and
Nevada. The number of contest
ants for the Warm Springs rodeo
was at a low for the first time in
years. With a lack of participants
the rodeo committee selected to
have all contestants perform on
Saturday. A jackpot rodeo was
held on Sunday. r.
Results of the rodeo are as fol
lows: bareback Jeff Thrasher of
Warm Springs; saddle bronc Ken
