The old days
Warm Springs Elementary News noted-
Some Children are pre-conditioned
to be underachieves before
they ever enter a school. The teach
ers and parents of these children
often spend years of frustration
trying to get these youngsters to
achieve up to their potential, only
to face discouragement and disap
pointment as they watch bright
children who seem to want to
achieve, but just can't seem to put
oui the effort necessary for success.
It is almost as if these children have
learned to avoid the very thing that
they need in order to be successful
learners.
It is so easy to blame the school.
However, there are many learning
related problems .that do not start
in the school and cannot be cured
by having more discipline, more
understanding teachers or more
time spent teaching the basics.
Consider the following situation
in which one parent had to struggle
for everything she got as a young
ster. As an adult, she is dedicated
to making sure her child does not
have to experience the same pain.
At the same time, her husband
believes that it is best for children
to earn what they get. This gives us
the potential for a family pattern
that could lead to their child becom
ing an underachiever.
The child in this family soon
learns how to get what is wanted.
"Daddy, I need some more money.
My allowance ran out." Father will
answer, "That's sad. You'll have to
wait until Saturday for your regu
lar allowance."
The youngster goes to Mother
with, "Mom, look how mean Daddy
is!" The mother, who is dedicated
to making sure the child experien
ces no pain, then finds herself say
ing, "Now, now. Don't worrv.
Daddy's just tired and doesn't
understand. I'll get you some
money, but be sure you don't tell
Daddy."
Mother is hoping to show that
she is a loving friend. The sad truth
is that the foundation for undera
chievement has just been laid. Yes,
the child may see Mother as a lov
ing but a devastating lesson has
just been learned. You get what
you want through manipulation,
not through effort.
This attitude mav be firmly in
place by the time the child goes to
school. You can guess what the
youngster will think when the
teacher says, "Here is some school
work to do. It will take some
effort." This poor child will think,
"No! Effort is not the way you get
what you want. There is an easier
way.

It will not be long before this
student tries to defend poor grades
by saying, "Look how mean the
teacher is. She just doesn't under
stand!" This will seem so sincere
that before long we will find that
the student has manipulated both
parents into joining with himher
against the school and the teacher.
The child now has more power
than either the parent or the teacher.
It is not unusual for parents in
this situation to be confused, blam
ing the school, then blaming the
child, then blaming themselves; all
with no success in getting the child
to live up to his her potential. This
often includes having the child
bring home daily reports, more
homework, rewards, punishment,
school conferences and labels such
as "learning disabled" and the spe
cial education classes to explain
away the problem.
None of these will work because
they are not the causes for this
youngster's confusion. The prob
lem will be solved when the parents
discover that they will need to have
a consistent set of expectations for
the child, "We both want the best
for you and we both know that it
will come from effort, not from
manipulating one of us against the
other."
Perfect attendance
, Sixty-six students attained per
fect attendance for the first quarter
of the school year. Congratulations

The third and final day of the Treaty Council was held June 25, 1953. It
was at this meeting that the Indians finally had the opportunity to
speak. The Indians eloquently stated their position.
Gen. Palmer: Well my Brothers. We have met again in council today
The Wascocs have not yet come but they will be here. We need not wait
for them. I expect to hear you speak this morning. I have shown you my
heart. Now I want to know your heart. Let your Chiefs speak for you
and we ll listen to it. I am in hopes you have come with one heart. 1 want
all to be together today. I will hear you speak.
Sim-tus-tus: I wish to talk now. The Chief talks right. I take his words
my heart is glad to hear you speak and all my people he speaks right and
straight and I am glad. Our hearts is soft, not so hard as it was. They
have asked for our land sometime ago. Now, I have given my word and
will stick to it. It is true I think about what he has said: the reason that
you have told him to think of words. M. Doffa knows my country, and
am going to talk of it. What he talk of. I know what I am talking aoubt
for myself and people. The De Chutes have sustained us in fish. The falls
where we catch the fish, we would like to reserve it. You have seen our
country where we get our roots, this is the country that I spoke about
wish to keep the section ot country beyond the Tigh about the mutton
Mountain and between the Mutton and Jefferson Mountains, there we
gather our berries, about Jefferson Mountain there lies the big road
leading to our berry ground, about the Big Branch of Dc Chutes. We
wish also to reserve the country that lies south of Tama-la-we River to
the wagon road, called the middle road to Oregon; then following the
stream down to De-Chutes, then down to the Dc Chutes f alls.
Locks-quissa: I have but a few words to say. You know the piece of land
that we ask to keep. You cn see the quantity of land that Sim-tus-tus
asked for. (here he was interrupted by Kuckup) he sat down.
Kuckup said: They are not here to keep you waiting as long as the
Cayuses and others did on the council.
I believe your words. It is for our good that you wish to place us on a
place. We will go and live where you have told us to go. I think that we
will be well there, and will not be sorry for it. It is good that you placed
us there, so that we would not be in the middle of a settlement. We do
not wish to have our Garden joining to the white man's. I wish now to do
as you have said, to live aside from the whites. We do think that it would
do us any harm that you have placed us there, (here are our blankets)
who has seen them first, since the whites came to us, when we first saw
their things.
The piece of ground that you wish us to stay on. It appears that you arc
showing me the things that I was talking about, when our children learn
to read and write. It will be the same as bringing them to light, as it were,
we have been asleep, and just waked up, when we could read and write.
I have spoken what I have to say. What you have said my ears were
opened, I have heard them. I do not wish to speak longer. I have heard
you speak; sat down.
Alexsee: I wish to speak as Sim-tus-tus has done. I do not wish to throw
the Chiefs words away. I do not wish to tire him. I am willing to give my
word and land. Our fishing place on the Columbia we wish to keep. The
country that you have shown us we are glad to live on it. That is all 1
have to say. I only talk of the fishing grounds.
Gen. Palmer: We have now heard the hearts of the Tish and Tenino
people. Now we wish to know the hearts of the Wascoes and Lower De
Chutes.
Sim-tus-tus came forward and signed the Treaty, and followed by his
sub-chiefs.
Stocketly: I like a piece of my land as my heart. I have already given a!
piece of my land, the others have already given a part of their country. 1
also think it is good tor me to do tne same. My neart is l win not spea
about the Reservation you speak of. I wish to have a piece of land on the
east side of the De Chutes River that is all I have to say. 1 wish to have
piece of land on the spot I spoke of, the rest you can have. My heart is to
choose this piece ot ground that 1 speak ot irom the Columbia to the
Blue Mountains, also my fishing place of Columbia De Chutes rails
This is all I have to say.
Iso says: This land belongs to you, my land that I had, my garden
yours. I also wish to reserve the piece of land that Stocketly spoke of,
also the fisheries. That is all I have to say.
G. Palmer said: I wish to reply to Stocketly and Iso.
Poyet said: I have a few words to say. Our Chief has spoken, Our Head
Chief. His word is our word, although we speak after him, but his word
is ours. All the places our Chiefs have mentioned is also our hearts.
Gen. Palmer said: Sometime ago Gov. Gains and Dr. Dart mad
Treaties. There as many different bands then, like this council, when
they made a treaty they gave Clackamas, the Yam Bill, the Tualatin, the
Lackamute, and the aentosma each a reservation, they made a treaty
with these Indians, they sent this trety to the President, when he saw
there reservations. Here, there and all over. Amongst the whites he said
not, it is not good. When he can the whites were allowed to live all
around those reservaitons, he said they could not have schools, mills &
c. When he saw this paper he said it is not good. You stand aside. Then
he wrote to me. He directed me to make a treaty with all the peole. H
directed me not make a reservation here, there, and all over, and if I
. were to make a trety with those people and allow them to live here, there
and all over, when he sees the paper he would say no, that is the reason
that I cannot permit these people to have so many reser vations. I would
like to accommodate these people. But the President will not allow them
to live with the whites, because the red and white man cannot agree
have made a treaty with all these people in the Willamette, Clackamas
and c. they have all agreed to live on one reservation, the Walla Wallas
Cavuses and Umatillas, they have all agreed to live on one reservation
the reservation that I have made for them is not as large as this, I havd
made for you. We cannot allow them to have a reservation across the
Deschutes. But we have agreed on the paper to allow them to fish on
their old fishing ground. When they are through with their fishing
season then they can go home and say, this is my home! And it is for this
reason I wish to secure them a home. Our Lhiet cannot build mills ana
houses & c. all over the county. But,he can build them on the reservation
and accommodate all the people. 1 hey can travel all over the country
over these roads as usual they can fish, hunt, and gather roots and
berries as formerly. And it will be good for them to say I have a home
where no white man can come and trouble me. I know where there is al
better country, I would say, well, let that be the reservation. But I do nod
know of any better. If this paper is signed as it is now, it your people, tha
Wascoes, Tigh and Upper Deschutes would rather have another reser
vation. The Wascoes would select three men the Stocketly's people alsq
three men and Tigh people also three men. These nine men would gd
with me or my agent to see the country, before these people go to thd
reservation, or before the mills and improvements have commenced. Id
we could find a place any better than this where there are no whites and
can agree with us, I shall say yes it is good. This shall be your homq
instead of the one named in the Treaty. What 1 want is to get you a good
home.
