Editorial E Coosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor " I II I III I ' Federal Officials say the Indian Tribes should look toward striv ing for economic and social self sufficiency with-in their tribe and reservation. Now with the Timber industry deteriorating in the northwest and the Salmon runs being endangered along with most of the resources depleting what can the tribes do? Everything is in turmoil across the country where living condi tions arc far below average on the Indian reservations.. There arc a few tribes across the country working toward self uffiriinrv Thrm are tribes on the East Coast who have reported a fair substantial year through their gaming establishments. From their operations they were able to help their senior citizens, enable tribal members to get better homes, education for the youngsters all from profits from their gaming establishment r Here on the Western side of the country legislatures arc for banning all gaming establishments and gambling on Indian Reserva tions. Whats with the whitcman, wheres the Trust Responsibility? It could be he's afraid if the Indians do good with their gaming estab lishments he won't have his finger in the pie, and not the boss. Even some BIA officials oppose Indian gaming, or at least support the effort toward gamingon reservations. Maybe the officials in B.I. A. won't be able to Boss Indians Around, (BIA), if they come self sufficient. What else can the Indian Tribes do with the land they were allowed to keep. A pile of rocks where nothing can grow. The Promises .made by the Government where the officials were eagerly saying during the treaty signing, "We'll take care of you, see to it you have homes, health clinics, schools for the young, etc. sure sounded good at the time of the treaty signing so as the whiteman can have all the fertile lands for their livelihood, and now when its time to help the Indians they are trying to find every way to get out of it. . The minorities of the country, you never hear of what a candidate for Presidency say what he will do for the American Indians, or now referred to as "Native Americans." When they talk of the minority its the blacks and hispanics and other nationalities and never the Native Americans 1 And now its time when the Indian Tribes need assistance there are always red tape that prevents the Indian people from getting help. And ail the non-Indians saying, "All you Indians just live off the Govern ment." The government gives you money every month. We do get government checks each month, but thats from our own income from our resources, and just because it comes by government checks doesn't mean we get money from the government. ;; Yep! Its a cruel, cruel world we live in and the opening of the tunnel is very, very far away. This is like a never ending battle for the Native Amcricans...YUN-WI-MAH!!! AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON.. Hug $$ put to good use To the editor, This year 700 hues was ordered through the Senior wellness Team. Thanking everyone that ordered. Some money went towards the Liz Cross fundina and the rest to the Warm Springs Community Center for the Aerobics room. Since the Wellness team all believe in exercise as the best prescription for health. They figured this is where the money should be spent Sorry for the lateness of not get ting your hugs to your people but we were swamped and could not make the grams fast enough. Vol unteers were not receptive this year, there was 3 or 4 reliable ones that gave a lot of their time, and I could not be there daily as before when I was employed by the Center, making it difficult to complete the job. Big thanks to the Recreation staff for stepping in and finishing they are all a great team and to the guys for delivering the hugs. Next year we will do something different. Thanks again.

Dad, Ul Gertie, Cloote, Charlotte, Louie Jr., & Lance I Congratulations on completion of Museum To the community, My congratulations to the Con federated Tribes on the occasion of the opening of The Museum at Warm Springs. My family and I were sorry to have missed the dedication cer emonies we were battling illness at the time. But I was there in spirit, and my thoughts are being delivered by the trusty Spilyay. Whenever I think of the museum, I can't help but recall those germinal days in the mid-'70s when the col- lwiinc was iust eettine underway. I can picture Felix Wallulatum and Harry Paget sitting in their office in the Old Boys Dorm, scheming and dreaming, probably never imagining anything as magnificent as the mu seum you have just dedicated. The other pleasant image that runs through my mind is of hordes of students from around Central Oregon making annual field trips to the mu seum. Think of the new understand ing and appreciation for reservation culture and history that will result frrm ihMfi visit"!. It's graufying to know that the Tribes have a first-class way of tell ing their own story, to their own children as well as to neighbor chil dren. Of course, nothing can replace the old stories told in the old way. But this is another way of telling so all can hear. My best wishes at this important time.
