1 have my education. So-Chuck-You-Farlcy...That
seems
to be the attitude of the general
public regarding the school
issues today. We have so much
bickering over the school issues
each year. All school levies
failing across the state leaving
kids without transportation, no
new text books and putting the
clamper on school sports.
Makes one w onder just how
do the kids feel about the whole
situation. It's no wonder why
kids get into so much trouble as
they probably feel that the
general public don't care one
way or the other about them or
whats in store tor their luture. it
probably gives them the feeling
of "Why try to be something we
can't be?" So they take to bad
company and bad habits and you can guess what that is.
Then comes the good Samaritans, the Booster Clubs, who work
hard on fund raising projects to keep sports activities alive at the
schools. Maybe the Booster clubs should meet before each school
bond issue is presented to the public for their vote and make a pitch
for the passing of the bond issue. Make a voters drive for their
support on the school issue. By this they won't have the respon
sibility of raising $ 100 thousand a year to keep sports alive at the
schools. ...
And when the kids win the district, or conference title and go on
to the state play-offs, who gets all the credit? It's probably those
who voted down the school issue to begin with.; The ones who
probably feel, "I've gotten my education so you can go jump in a
lake Tor all I care." ,..
But nq matter who does something good or bad, or what eltects
the school it's the kids who suffer. Ahh-Nah-Chi-Um-Ni....

Speaking of Old Crow, I heard a while back about a flight headed
up that way and it was carrying all kinds of people. All of a sudden,
the plane started to lose altitude and the pilot asked the passengers
to start throwing the extra baggage out. Still the plane kept going
down. Then the pilot said, "I'm going to have to ask volunteers to
bail out!" Just then, a French Canadian stood up and as he jumped
out he yelled, "Viva Quebec!" An Englishman sitting in another
part of the plane didn't want to be outdone by the Frenchman so he
stood up and said, "God save the Queen"and he jumped out. Then
this American pipeline tycoon stood up and yelled, "For the good
old U.S.A." and then he jumped out. Finally this big Indian from
Old Crow stood up and said, "Remember the Land Claims!" and
he grabbed this little B.I. A. Agent sitting next to him and threw
him out the door. YIKES!

Once upon a time there were two American. hunters who
approached an Indian to ask him to help them to get a bear. The
Indian took them up to the mountains where he had a cabin and
told them to clean up the place since they would be there for a few
days. He then went to scout around for a bear. As he walked
around a bend in the trail, there in front of him stood a large brown
Grizzly. He turned and ran and the bear was right on his heels. As
he got closer to the cabin, he yelled for the fellows inside to open
the door. They did, and as the Indian was about to run in, he
tripped on the steps and the bear ran over him and into the cabin.
The Indian got up and closed the door and as he was brushing
himself off, he said, "Okay, you guys take care of this one and I'll
go find you another one." YIKES!

Friends', relative & others.
The months of August 1990 was
a sad month for many of us that
lost loved ones. My sincere sym
pathy to all the families in sorrow.
My message is simple, one we've
all heard many times and ignored
and paid for dearly.
The bible tells me in Iphesians
4:26 Met not the sun go down upon
your wrath.-in Mark 11:25. and
when ye stand praying, forgive, if
yc have ought against any. that
your father also which is in Heaven
may forgive you your trespasses.
James 4: 14. 1 or what is your life? It
is even a vapour, that appeareth for
a little time, and then vanishcth
away.
One day we're looking one an
other in the eye. next day one is
gone. Don't be mad at God be
furious at the devil, he's the one
that keep's us from forgiving each
other before he takes lives.
Thank you for

To the People of Warm Springs:
William J. Smith of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs has referred you
to me. We have in our possession 2
paintings (oil on heavy canvas)
that were painted by an artist
named Gay Betts. They are dated
1954. These paintings were given to
David Sheer of Gary, Indiana. Ac
cording to correspondence we
found he spent time working with
your people. The paintings depict
your people.

the others. They would have taught
me to be generous with my love
and affection and choose my mate
with care and to honor that union
for life. They would have taught
me that it is never permissible to
mate with a family member. They
would have taught me what sup
port and community is all about.
The elderly, the aunts, uncles and
others are welcome members of the
pack. They are helpers and look
after the cubs while the parents are
out hunting or resting. They bathe,
feed and care for the young like
they were their own. They would
have taught me not be a loner but
to develop social skills and to get
along with others. They would
have taught me to be myself but to
also be able to play, eat. sleep,
travel and move with others.
The wolves would have taught
me not to eat more than l needed.
They would have taught me to only
kill when I needed food and not to
kill for fun. Being responsible for
my actions would be a lesson l
learned from the wolves. If I

siandmc ot the Indian names we
receive, was at one time the only
way our people had of recording
ancestors names We learn more
about who they were & what their
talents were. I feel honored to
know my Great Great Grand-mothcr"Ta-ma-sc-pum."that
I am
named for was a mid-wife.
That is what the first part of
bible is, a record of names. That
shows me genealogy is very im
portant. Our ancestors were very
inspired by God to keep records as
they did. I love & appreciate the
things I learn of "my heritage." It
only confirms my own testimony
of God.
Thank you

Gay Betts, the artist? Is he still
living? Is his work known of any
where in that area? I would ap-5

could give me.
David Sheer, the previous owner
of these paintings is dead and his
wife is in a nursing home very ill, so
we are unable to find out from
them. Thank you for any informa

by wolves"
stepped out of line, one of the
leaders or my parents would have
reprimanded me but they would
never shame me. The wolves use a
good and necessary kind of disci
pline called'"TOUGH LOVE.".
Wolves grieve when they lose a
mate, a loved one, a family mem
ber or pack mate. They allow
themselves to howl and cry. They
would have taught me that it is an
essential part of living to experi
ence the grieving and they would
never have tried to stop me until I
was finished.
I was raised in a dysfunctional
family where I learned none of the
skills that these.supposedly "Wild
Animals" received. If I had grown
up with the wolves. I believe my life
would have been happier, more
tranquil and I would have had a
greater capacity for loving myself
and others. I would have been. a
better mother, teacher and mate.
Yes, I wish 1 had been raised by the
wolves.
