' ' "Spityoy Spoofts" Thanks to investigators fEDiroRJ The Pi-Ume-Sha 1991, ap peared to have had a record breaking crowd this year. There were so many people around here it was hard to find a park ing place anywhere. I don't know if that was a record break ing crowd, anyway it sure looked like it was. There were all kinds of events going on at the same time. The Warm-Up dancing al ways brings a lot of people out during the first night of the powwow. There was the Fun Run put on by the Warm Springs Running Club; There was the 14 mile, plus endurance horse race which is getting more and more popular each year, this also includes a junior division as they run a shorter route than the adults. There was the Fried Bread Golf Tournament held at Kah-Nee-Ta, always draws top golfers from all parts of the country. There was the 16 team Softball tournament with teams from all parts of the Northwest entered. There was the stick game tournament where there are a lot of hot games played. There was the fishing trip and cook-out for the Councilmen and the Governor down at Whiskey Dicks. There were all kinds of contest dancing, with something for everyone which included the"Honkey Dance Contest!!" Dancers young and old were out to show what they could do. And Snagging ...OOOps!!! I meant meeting new friends as there were people here from all parts of the country. Then there was the big All Indian Rodeo which was sanctioned by the Western States Indian Rodeo Association, put on by the Warm Springs Rodeo Association, as there were top Indian cow boys here trying to earn as many points as possible with the thought of competing in the National Indian Finals, at Albu querque, NM next fall. "Whew..." How can anyone take in all the sites with just two eyeballs, and believe me there were plenty of beautiful sites to see...Ahhh-Nah-Chi-Toon....

This is now a relationship in which tribal governments may choose to assume the administra tion of numerous federal programs Eursuant to the 1975 Indian Self letermination and Education Assistance Act. This is a partnership in which an Office of Self-Governance has been established in the Depart ment of the Interior and given the responsibility of working with tribes to craft creative ways of transferring decision-making pow ers over tribal government func tions from the Department of tri bal governments. An Office of American Indian Trust will be established in the Department of the Interior and given the responsibility of oversee ing the trust responsibility of the Department and of insuring that no Departmental action will be taken that will adversely affect or destroy those physical assets that the Federal Government holds in trust for the tribes. I take pride in acknowledging and reaffirming the existence and durability of our unique govern- tiplicity of issues and problems presented by each of the 5 10 tribal entities in the Nation now recog nized by the dealing with the Department of the Interior, the White House will continue to inter act with Indian tribes on an inter governmental basis. The concepts of forced termina tion and excessive dependency on the Federal Government must now be relegated, once and for all, to the history books. Today we move forward toward a permanent rela tionship of understanding and trust, a relationship in which the tribes of the nation sit in positions of dependent sovereignty along with the other governments that compose the family that is Amer ica.
