Jackson commented, "No doubt
Bud would use the property re

owners do not live there. If a piece

In July Seyler will attend the

complete two graduate level
courses, "Epidemiology of Injur

he will attend a one week course on
the Application of Injury Preven

During the remainder of his Fel

on the Warm Springs Indian Res

the implementation of a program
to prevent the identified problem.
Tribes hosts
The First Northwest Native
American Purchasing Conference
was held at Kah-Nee-Ta Vacation
Resort, Warm Springs, OR., May
6, 7 & 8, 1990.
The Conference was hosted by
the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs and co-sponsored by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs and the
Purchasing Management Associa
tion of Oregon.
The theme of the conference was
"Self-Sufficiency through com
munication and Professional De
velopment." Sixty-six (66) participants at
tended the conference plus a dele
gation from Northern British
Columbia, Canada, two from the
southwest and two others from the
east coast.
The written response from the
conference evaluations requested
this be an annual and National
conference. Most felt the 1st
Annual Conference was valuable
and a success. They requested to
repeat all the workshop sessions
and speakers at the next con
ference. Donald F. Asbra, Chief of the
Federal Division of Contracting
and Grants Administration in
Washington, D.C. delivered the
keynote address Monday evening
at the banquet. The Confederated
Tribes of Warm Sorings presented
M r. Asbra with a Proclamation for
his personal and professional
commitment, and devotion, to
promote Native American Tribes
in their goal to achieve Self
Determination. The goals of the conference
listed below covered a large area:

Early mill era Is
focus of exhibit
The High Desert Museum in
Bend announced today that its new
permanent exhibit on the Small
Mill Era (1890-1915) will be open
on Saturday, May 19, 1990.
-The exhibit features an authen
tic steam-powered mill of a type
commonly in use throughout the
intermountain West at the turn of
the century. Says Bob Boyd, the
Museum's curator of western her
itage, "It was the small, steam- and
water-powered mills that provided
the materials for ranch houses, the
simple frame structures of home
steaders and urban workers, as
well as for the ornate Victorian
homes of affluent city dwellers,
from the 1870s through the early
years of the 20th century."
The Museum's mill, a gift of the
Robert Lazinka family of Pilot
Rock, Oregon, was actually in
operation until the late 1920s and
'possibly the early 1930s. It was
dismantled and assembled on the
Museum grounds by local research
er and builder Ben Francy. The
exhibit itself received major fund
ing from the late Edna Minsinger
Scott, with additional support
from the S. Spencer Scott Fund,
Weyerhaeuser Company Founda
tion, Boise Cascade Corporation,
ARCO and Gilchrist Timber
Company.
Ray Kangila, tribal planner and
Chairman of the County Planning
Commission, stated approval of
the proposal would set a "danger

be the applicant and the operator
of a home occupation business."

Yallup is the daughter Natalie and
Robert R. Smith of Warm Springs,
Oregon. Yallup is 13 years old and
running for Pi-Ume-Sha queen.
She is a seventh grader at Mad
ras Junior High School and plans
to go to college in the future. Her
interests and hobbies include jingle
dancing, traveling to pow-wows,
basketball, volleyball, softball,
swimming and getting involved in
all traditional activities.
Her reason for seeking the title is
"Traveling and representing our
local Pow-Wow and to meet more
people. I feel I can do a good job
and this will help keep me busy and
stay away from drugs and alco
hol." Yallup is an enrolled Warm
Springs member with Wasco

She said she feared that if too many
people were brought in, the natural
flyway for winter migration would
be interrupted and that the ospreys

area... I cringe when I think of this

are unwilling to wait. We want to
fund and build the new facility our
selves. We are taking the initiative
to improve health in our own com
munity. Our proposal represents
an innovative joint venture between
the Tribes and IHS."
Tribal leaders say that while Con
gress has not yet committed to par
ticipation in the proposed Center,
design of the new facility will pro

that the peoole of Warm Springs
are committed to solving the serious

That evidence will go a long way
toward convincing Congress that
our proposal is worthy of support,"
concluded Jackson.
Also to be considered by voters
on June 5 are 20 new rental homes
to be built adjacent to the Tenino
Apartments, just south of the
Agency Longhouse. The referen-,
dum asks that $ 1.470 million in tri
bal funds be appropriated to con
struct the new units.
The three- and four-bedroom
homes will all have two bathrooms,
and come equipped with ranges,
refrigerators, woodstoves and mini
blinds on the windows. The three
bedroom homes will have 1,504
square feet, including a 209 square
foot single-car garage. The four
bedroom units total 2,040, includ
ing a 830 square foot double car
garage.
The new units are larger than
other rental units built in the past,
making them more suitable for
local families. People currently in
tribal and HUD rental units will
receive priority for the new units.
