Of
Communications is a highly
misused word in many organiza
tions in the world today. At
almost every tribal management
meeting, this word is brought
up and possible solutions are is
discussed thoroughly but are
never really applied to their
potential.
There could be a lot of infor
mation that could be put to
good use, but something is lack
ing somewhere. Either the person
who has the information is
reluctant to share what he knows
for certain, sometimes unknown,
reasons. Perhaps it could be
that he feels he has no right to
reveal any information for public
knowledge because it may in
fringe on his job. Or, there is
someone who has to give final
approval for release of informa
tion that is for the public and never gets around to doing his part.
Spilyay Tymoo plays the roll of a communications outlet on the
reservation, but in many instances, we can offer only limited
information to the general readership because of that lack of
communication. Many phone calls are made ask for information
on various projects that we feel are newsworthy for tribal
members. Many times people promise to call back but never do. Is
this a way of saying you don't have any comments and are getting
off the hook by saying, "it slipped my mind." Not only Spilyay
Tymoo has this problem, it happens all over the country all the
time. Somehow news gets out without us knowing about it until we
read it in an outside newspaper and the question comes up, "Didn't
you know about that? Why wasn't it in the Spilyay Tymoo?"
This is a tribal newspaper and we are here to produce news for
the tribal membership, but without getting all the information
thoroughly and accurately, we are unable to provide news and or
information to the members of the tribe. "Ahh-na-chi-toon."
Powwow to be held March 3
To the Editor,
My name is Carole Walters and I
presently live in California althfiugh
I have been an Australian resident
for the past twenty years.
The Australian people, after
understanding their own aborigi
nal culture, are curious and appre
ciative of other indigenous cultures
throughout our world. I was re
cently in Australia and what I
found was a great desire to learn
about American Indian culture and
art.
I saw in the market places all
varieties of Indonesian, Oriental
and African arts and crafts but I
saw virtually no American Indian
artwork, either in jewelry, basketry
or painting. When I spoke to Aus
tralian galleries about their lack of
American Indian art they expressed
a great fascination and desire to
know about the North American
Indian culture. Perhaps because
Australia is half wav around the
ill world no one has exposed the Aus
tralians to the aboriginal Ameri
cans. I am currently studying the an
thropological and artistic histories
of North American Indian tribes.
It is my wish to see other cultures
exposed to the art of the Ameri-
Sweethearts
cans so that we may enrich other
peoples to a culture rich in history
and values.
What I propose to do is buy art
produced by the people living on
North American reservations and
export this to reputable galleries in
Australia. If there are people pro
ducing arts and crafts on your
reservation or if you have signifi
cant information about your tribe
that might be of interest to others, I
would very much appreciate a call
or a letter from you. Ifyouareatall
interested on any of these levels

Last September Loren started
college at L.A. Valley College in
California pursuing a degree in
psychology. In May, when he
returns from London, he plans to
continue with his education. So
far, he has done very well in his
studies. Also, Loren is running on
the college varsity cross country
team.
Besides being in college, Loren
had a job at the Hollywood Theater
that helped him stay in school and
get through daily living expenses.
To make life more interesting at
the theater, Loren is amazed at
who he gets a glimpse of. He said
he gets to see "real stars".
Loren has taken an interest in
dancing and is doing exceptional at
it. His instructor has recommended
him to a professional dance school
and said he has great potential.
"Prayers of the Night" is a song
that Loren wrote and turned into
the Astro Professional Song Writ
ing Studio. The studio sent Loren a
letter of acceptance and they want
to publish his song. I would like to
thank Tribal Council for support
ing Loren with this song.
From his sis,
Lorraine K. Suppah
