Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs hearing held July 7, m. While aggression against Indian culture is well documented in American history books, far too little has been discussed concern ing its multi-generational effects on the mental status of Indian peo ple today. I reatmcnt programs designed in separation from the culture often ignore the grief and depression resulting from acculturation, the clfccts of stigma on the culture, as well as ignoring one of the most powerful tools in the healing pro cess, the strength of the values of Native American and Alaskan people. Often not considered as well, is the powerful impact of peer pres sure on the native person. Pro grams which remove the individual from his her kinship network are destined to make statistics of self fulfilling prophecy. A memo from the Commissioner on Indian Affairs to the Indian of the United States prohibits the open practice of Indian dances, ceremonies, feasts, giveaways, or other such cultural spiritual activ ities, and threatens the removal of basic survival tools (food and shel ter) unless these rules are followed. This committee has undoubtedly heard accounts of Indian children beaten for speaking their language in early government and religious Dead batteries don't save lives check! Recent research on smoke detec tors indicates that 20 percent of the devices purchased are never in stalled. Furthermore, the research shows that over half the detectors installed have dead batteries that have not been replaced. A detector with a dead battery may give a family a sense of secur ity, but a dead battery never warned anyone of a fire. Perhaps you can share the fol lowing message with your family and friends. Check your smoke detector. Is it working or are the batteries dead? Batteries should be changed annually whether they need it or not. Involving family members in the testing process can provide a regular opportunity to discuss what should be done when the alarm goes off. If your family doesn't have a fire emergency plan, make one!

The Christian missionary campaign worked hand in hand with the tederal govern ment at the turn of the century to stamp out the remnants of organ ized Indian religion and its leader ship and. in effect, drove under ground traditional spiritual prac tices. The effects of cultural oppres sion are multi-gcncraltional. We cannot presume that the entirety of the physical, emotional and spirit ual trauma experienced by our grandparents have gone to the grave with them. On the contrary, a legacy of unresolved grief exists with us today. Indian people who have grown up in communities with cultural depression received mixed and often contradictory messages about their Indian-ness: Be proud of your heritage.

An occasional bad day can ruin your image. 3. Attain as much formal educa tion as you possiblv can. A college education will not be too much for the secretary of the future.

To do otherwise weak ens the effectiveness of the team. 5. Become an expert at anticipa tion. Don't just do, think. When ever your executive requests some thing, ask yourself, "Could I have already had that done?" 6. Overcommit yourself to new and challenging activities. Never say, "I'm too busy" for a job that will help you grow. Once you say yes, you'll strengthen your time management skills and find a way to get things done. The old adage "If you want something done, give it to a busy person" is especially true in the office. 7. Don't get involved in petti ness, gossip, griping and jealousy that are prevalent in many offices. These are all self-defeating activi ties, and they can drain you of energy and enthusiasm. 8.
