mcmbcr archaeology team will begin
adig near the Warm Springs commu

daily living habitsof tribal ancestors.
Among those participating in the dig
will be Warm Springs tribal member
Sacred I leart Suppah, the only Indian
hired on with the University of Or
egon crew.
Currently, Suppah and his co
workers are on a dig near Paulina
Lake, a 100-milc one-way trip from
Warm Springs. According to Dr.
Richard Cheatham, leader of the
expedition, four sites will be exca
vatcaWorkbcganonJuly 13andthc
crew expects to spend about seven
weeks at the four sites already iden
tified as being associated with pre
historic obsidian flows.
Cheatham, in describing one site,
said "it is a lakeside cap associated
with the East Lake Obsidian Flow. It
appears that occupants of that site
brought large obsidian chunks to
camp and reduced the pieces to large
bipointcd biface for transport out of
the crater. Based on radiocarbon dates
from previous testing, the site was
occupied from about 2000 years ago
into the late prehistoric period."
A second site is "also associated
with the (above flow). However, it is
somewhat further from the lakeside.
The site also appears to be a lithic
reduction site where quarry obsidian
was reduced to large obsidian bifaccs.
This site was not intensely occupied
since no fresh water was readily
availablc....initial occupation prob
ably was about 2,000 years ago."
Two other sites near Paulina Lake
will also be excavated. Testing at
these two sites has shown an initial
occupation period prior to the erup
tion of ML Mazama (Crater Lake)
about 6,800 years ago."

ability to provide financing for home

Loans may be made to eligible ap

FmHA has hcltcd low-income
families afford homes for years
through its direct loan programs, but
it has been looking for a way to help
moderate-income applicants realize
their dream of owning a home.
Moderate-income applicants are
often young, double-income house
holds, considered credit risks by
conventional lenders because they
do not quite meet income require
ments, have a limited credit history,
andor lack the necessary down
payment.
Lenders are usually unwilling to
make loans to such applicants with
out some sort of guarantee. This is
where FmHA can help.
Applicants with moderate in

The Head Start Part Day program
will consist of 6 four year old class
rooms and 3 three year old class
rooms. There will be 2 parent
guardian orientations on Thursday,
August 20, from 10-11:30 am. and
again from 6:30-8 p.m., at the ECE
Center, Building A. It is the goal of
Early Childhood Education to serve
all four year olds and as many three
year olds as can be accommodated.
The Warm Springs Head Start
Program is federally funded for 102
income eligible children. The fol
lowing is the criteria used to fill those
slots:
"The population served by Warm
Springs Head Start are those indi
viduals either residing within the
boundaries of the Warm Springs
Reservationriribal members residing
outside the boundaries of the Warm
Springs Reservation, or employees
of the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs."
The following are the criteria for
preschool placement in the tarty
$2,000 for the playground & riding
toys fund. Sixteen new bikes and
trikes have been ordered using that
money and plans are being made to
purchase safety helmets, elbow and
knee pads for each riding toy. The
playground is in the final planning
stages and will be purchased using
Head Start Grant money.
The new ECE Center Tile Mosaic
project for the entrance lobby wall
will require $10,000 to get started.
Money will be raised using a section
of the mural wall for fundraising
tiles. That is, individuals and busi
nesses will be able to purchase a tile
and have a name put on it. These tiles
will only be one or two lines. The
suggested donation for community
members is $75, $ 125 for businesses.
Order forms are available at the ECE
Center. Also in the planning stages
to raise money for the mural is a
raffle.
To complete this project there will
need to be a substantial community

furnished with ample funds to pay for what I may find it necessary to
provide, say about $200. 00 or $800. 00 all told. My estimates are for
at least 30 scholars. I have all the time intended that the Sinemarsha
school, should be an industrial one, and am only too glad to adopt
your suggestions and unite the two, making it a boarding school as
well. It will probably be necessary the next fiscal year to provide a
matron as well as a teacher and assistant.
