Each year we look back to the
past year and re-cap all the
events that took place and to
remember all of our friends we
have dealt with during those
months that are in the past. We
have had some marvelous times
and not so marvelous times. But
to make a story short, it has
been a great pleasure to have
had the opportunity to work
with you. It may have been just
a small gesture, but even the
smallest of things can be realized
as a huge one. We have made
several new friends during the
year and we hope we have had
some satisfaction from our old
friends.
Spilyay Tymoo, which was
established 1 4 years ago, was set
up to keep tribal members
informed on what's happening in and around the community.
That, we have done to the best of our ability. It is impossible to be
at several places at one time but we try to cover as much as we can.
There are events that take place that we are unaware of until after
the fact. There is some information that is not released to us for
news, but yet we see the same thing splattered in the Bend Bulletin
or other outside newspapers.. .But like I said, I hope we have done
well for those who continuously contribute news items for all our
readers.
I just hope we have not offended anyone in anyway, but if we
did, I am truly sorry for the unfortunate incident. Of course, we do
have the policy that gives us the right to edit all material submitted
for the news and we are always happy to receive anything people
would like to shaVe wth the rest of the community. There are times
when people have things that happen just once in a lifetime and
would like to share it with the readers. We encourage readers to
give us a call. Photos are a way that can live for a lifetime and will
always be there whenever someone would like to look back at the
past.
But, most of all, on behalf of the entire Spilyay staff, I would like
to wish everyone the Merriest Christmas and may your new year
be the most properous one ever. The nineties are upon us and
hopefully things may become a little better for everyone. "Eee
Ough"!!.

examine sources of tribal law and
current court procedure and pro
cess. The class will examine personal
rights and learn how to work within

Topics will include practical and
