Tom entered Merritt Trade and Tech. vocational school in Oak land, California in 1966 on a BIA 959 scholarship. In 1967 he took the carpenters apprenticeship test in San Francisco that qualified him for a four-year program. The pro gram covered nearly every aspect of carpentry. Safety was stressed. As an apprentice, Tom worked on projects full-time and attended night classes to attain his certificate. A carpenters strike and econom ics in 1970 forced Tom to return to Warm Springs where he worked as a logger and faller. He transferred his apprenticeship program to Bend where he learned cement masonry skills. He worked on the construc tion of Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge in the early 1970s and helped build the plywood area at the mill and the Information Center. During the 1 980s, Tom worked on the hydroe lectric project where he was a general laborer, mason and pump watchman. His most interesting job, Tom said, was constructing the set of "Three Warriors." With his apprenticeship program transferred to Portland, Tom now has 13 years of carpentry expe rience. "I gained my journeyman status the opposite way you're sup posed to." There was also trouble with his education transcripts, as they were lost during the transfers. Why did Tom go to all the trou ble to become a journeyman?

Myra Shawaway, telephone tech nician, will attend vocational train ing for two weeks on the Sentra com system and will learn to do minor repairs. She will be the one to contact for any problems with the system. Cultural healing and the ways in which it can be used will be dis cussed. Also to be presented is information on how traditional and modern healing methods can work together for a more successful recovery. Concluding the last day of the conference will be the presentation of information concerning how the recovery process begins, what indi viduals can do to interrupt a des tructive pattern of behavior and how to intervene with teenagers. money," he said. On smaller pro jects, Tom could earn up to $ 1 5 per hour; on larger jobs, the going rate is $18 per hour. As an independent contractor, wages are negotiable. Tom thinks "more people in the community should do this. Young people should go off the reserva tion and discover what's in the world. Then, later, decide if they want to come back." While living on the reservation, says Tom, "you have to roll with the punches because carpentry and masonry jobs and falling and buck ing jobs aren't always available." Tom plans to work as a carpenter with contractors in Oregon. He will sign up with the union with a letter of intent and later on will obtain a contractors license. It may have taken a while for Tom to get to where he is, but for him, it's been worth it.
