V 4 "'" Jmr a aip day for the wild horses CHAMPs works towards healthy It isn't a group of retired athletes or a breakfast cereal or the latest exercycle. CHAMPS (Community Health Action Mobilization Planners) is a group of interested people from the community to create a healthy population within the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. What makes this group unique is that it encourages and depends upon the tribal community-at-large to take active, positive ownership for its health. "We believe the community can and should be healthy. We bel' 'e that all individuals are capable of making decisions when informed and provided with factual informa tion, and that all individuals have a right to, and a responsibility for, their own health decisions." Tribe receives dividend The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs recently received a $128,726 dividend payment from Industrial Indemnity, the Tribe's general liability insurance carrier for the past 27 years. The Tribe was eligible for the dividend because the "claims frequency and severity were down compared to premiums paid" over the last three years, said Lumberman's Insurance Company spokesman Pat Metke. "The refund was earned by the Tribe for favor- able loss experience," he said. The liability insurance covers all tribal enterprises, except Warm Springs Forest Products Industries, where the general public may be exposed, such as at Kah-nee-Ta. and the Information Center. The insurance also covers all tribal veh- icles. A safety improvement pro- gram, instituted during the last three years, has been attributed as the cause for the improvement Spilyay News from the Warm Springs Indian Reservatibi P.O.

OK 47761 icn rr Y mo.: AUGUST 25, 1989 Full State grant earned The Warm Springs Victim Assi tance Program recently received a $20,000 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant from the state of Oregon. The state had 99 applica tions in their competitive grant process. The average amount that is awarded is approximately $8,000. Warm Springs is the only program to receive the full award and this is the first time in the four years since the state has been granting VOCA dollars, that a full grant has been given to one agency. Deborah Jackson, Victim As sistance director, received a letter from Dave Frohnmayer, Attorney General, with the good news. VOCA funds are intended to support the provisions of direct services of vic tims of crime, meaning children in the Warm Springs community who have been criminally abused sexu ally, physically or emotionally from ages three to 19 years. Services provided will be through group or individual therapy ses sions that combine traditional healing approaches with other alternatives and cross-culture ther apy. A trained therapist will be helping some of the community elders prepare "metaphorical heal ing methods for the children," said Jackson. This program will enable children to not only survive their physical and emotional trauma but rebuild themselves and their fami lies. The process of acculturation will increase the probability of suc cess while maintaining cultural identity. This program will bring together people who have a common inter est in the future of tribal children, says Jackson. They include people from multiple disciplines and pro gram areas, child advocacy pro grams, tribal elders, child thera pists and it will give all involved good cross-cultural skills. It will require coordination, communica tion and collaboration among all those participating in the program. The program will improve the abil ity of service providers to offer the kinds of support and therapy Indian child victims need to become com fortable with their situations. Most importantly, the program empow ers the people of Warm Springs to face, address and deal with child victims in a traditional manner.
