Newspaper Page Text-m n i PAGE 4 August 10, 1990 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosli EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor "Spifyay S pea lis" Greeley attends conference on Aging "Indian Preference" Wc have all kinds of policies here in the organization that are supposedly for the benefit of the Tribal members. One in parti cular is, "Indian Preference," for hiring on jobs. I see this not only in the Tribal Organization but with all jobs here on the reservation, including logging, contracting even at the mill. Let's talk about the Museum for an example, I have heard Tribal members asking when this project will get underway, because the unemployment line is getting pretty long. On all contracts awarded to the non Indian contractors, there's al ways that clause, "You must hire Tribal members." Oh yes! they are all for this, to hire the Tribal or Indian preference for all jobs. But, when they are awarded the contract they come up with the comment, that they already have their crew on hand and they have had them for quite some time and can't lay them off. They say, we'll sure hire Tribal members when the jobs are available. Well the jobs come and it's time to hire the Tribal members or Indian Preference. Well guess what type of jobs these are. They are usually the most undesirable jobs. Jobs the non Indians will have nothing to do with, back breaking, dirty in an unpleasant surroundings these are the types of jobs the Tribal members end up with. As a result Tribal members are not satisfied with the job and skip days of work and finally layed-off. Here's the sticker, . . . they say, we've hired Tribal members but the don't stick with their jobs. And when another Tribal member asks if there are any openings they comeback with the saying, "We can't trust Tribal members, you never make it everyday. Yet you never see them put non-Indians in those jobs. How many tribal members were hired in the past six months for jobs with a future, a permanent position? Or is it the qualifications are set so high that no tribal members qualify? There are some tribal members who have gotten permanent positions but they b Elton Greeley, center, receives a diploma from the Native American Leadership Institute on Aging.

So, can anyone say this is not discouraging? This seems to apply to all employment here on the reservation. So, the next time you hear the statement, "We'll hire tirbal members, or give Indian preference", just imagine what types of jobs they will be. AHHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! Toe Ness There was this guy 79-years-old who announced he was getting married to a 22-year-old beauty. "Look Pop," said his son, "you marrying a girl like that could be fatal." "So what," said the old man." If she dies I can marry again." YIKES SS SS SS There was thin not-so-bright guy drinking in the bar when the news came on. It showed a guy on the ledge of a tall building threatening to jump. The bartender tells him, "I'll bet you $10 he jumps." The guy takes him up on that. A few minutes later, the guy jumps. Digging in his wallet for $10, the bartender says, "I can't take your money. I saw the news earlier and I knew he would jump." "So did I and I didn't think he would do it again."
