It is obvious that the National
Congress of American Indians has
Improved with age. In its 48 years,
NCAI has fine-tuned their opera
tions and become an active pro
ponent for Indian tribes through
out the country. However, in their
desire to provide a comfortable
place in which to conduct their
annual convention, NCAI forgot
the very people they arc in busi
ness to serve.
Warm Springs sent nearly 40
individuals to the convention, in
cluding Tribal Council and com
mittee members and other sup
port staff. A conservative estimate
shows that the Tribe spent over
$25,000 on registration and air
fare fees alone. Add to that an
indeterminable sum for lodging
and meals. (One night's lodging
at the Hyatt, the site of the convention, was $93.50 plus a $75 deposit)
Some Warm Springs delegates opted to move from the Hyatt to more
reasonably priced accomodations.
Warm Springs has long been at the forefront in dealing with Indian
issues. The large delegation in San Francisco confirms the fact that the
Tribe is concerned not only about issues directly affecting Warm
Springs, but all Indian concerns. It's unfortunate that such a high price
was paid to make sure their voice was heard in the Indian arena.
Shame on you NCAI for selecting such an unreasonably expensive
convention site. Get real. Money is tight. If your organization is truly
committed to improving conditions for Indian tribes, then rethink your
strategy. Get back to the basics. Perhaps Indian business should be
conducted on Indian land (and not Palm Springs, either!) Convention
attendees heard repeatedly during the week that a united front is the
best way to confront problems in Indian country. Continued support
of your organization should be contingent upon your efforts to provide
a much more cost efficient way in which to conduct the very business
that unites tribes.
Open your ears and hear with common sense in your hearts. Tribes
are in financial trouble. How can tribes justify spending thousands to
attend a meeting if that expense can be equated with, and used for, an
entire program or three jobs that serves their people.
Again, shame on you!
December 14 marks bazaar date
The Warm Springs Cliristmas
Bazaar will celebrate its 16th annual

The very first bazaar held at the
