questionable
To the Editor,
i
I believe we have a very serious
problem in our reservation. And it
concerns the treatment of some of
our people that have to go to our
clinic for medical treatment or oth
er reasons.
We are told take this medication
go home and rest. But not until we
are forced to go to a hospital, do we
discover the seriousness of our med
ical problem. And in some cases its
too late. Our doctors in our clinic
are insensitive to our medical prob
lems, we need a change and now!!

One Sunday a farmer went to church. When he entered he and the
preacher were the only ones there. The preacher asked the farmer if
he wanted him to go ahead and preach. The farmer said, "I'm not
too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up,
I'd feed him." One hour passed, then two, two and a half hours.
The preacher finally finished and
the sermon. The farmer answered,
I went to feed the cattle and only
feed him all the hay." YIKES

Hospitality
To the Editor,
During The Dalles area Cherry
Festival last month, we read in
your paper of the invitation to
attend the salmon bake at Celilo.
Cold winds and events running late
greeted my husband and I and my
70-ycar-old parents that Sunday,
so, along with many other non
Indians, we slipped inside the Long
house. Inside the small ceremonial
lodge, we stood listening quietly to
the singing and drumming and

watched traditional events sur
rounding the salmon feast. During
a pause, tribal leaders asked that
the Longhouse be cleared so they
could prepare for the serving of the
feast. My parents were tired and so
we rested briefly on the benches
along the wall. As preparation
began in earnest, with colorful
cloths and mats being stretched
end to end at our feet, we prepared
to leave, to make room for Native
American families. But two such
families, whom we didn't know,
invited us to remain. "Be our guests,"

they said. "There is plenty of food.
Join our feast." And so we did.
The people of Celilo then truly
demonstrated the meaning of the
word "guest" by making us feel
welcome and a part of the tradi
tional service. On either side of us
and my parents, Native Americans
explained the meaning of the tradi
tional songs, described the impor
tance of the sequence of events,
helped us appreciate the time and
care of food preparation that had
been going on for days. With pride,
elders explained the importance of
their young men and women who
had fished and gathered roots, and
who were now serving the meal.
We appreciated the careful way the
food was distributed around the
room and the gentle methods par
ents used to keep their young child
ren patiently waiting despite the
growing aroma of baked salmon
and venison and despite the mats
before us filling up with heaping
bowls of food. We shared with the
families the praise to our Creator
for providing water, salmon, veni-

son, roots, huckleberries and other
bounty of the land. The-.i together,
we sat on mats and with the sauce
that hunger and good company
provides, participated in a meal
that truly was a feast.
We did not know who to thank
for allowing us to be so graciously
treated during the Salmon and
Root Feast and so are writing this
letter. Prior to our arrival, we knew
none of the famlics who were so
gracious to us. A Whitchawk fam
ily from Yakima and Ken Smith,
who introduced himself as a medi
cine man from Warm Springs, were
especially warm and welcoming to
us, but each person at Celilo treated
us with inviting care and kindness.
We want to thank all the people
who treated us so richly and tell
you that our family will always
remember fondly the April day we
shared in a truly thanks-giving meal.
Sincerely,
Chuck and Pearl Rutschow, Sisters
Jerry and Jane Kirkpatrick, Moro
