New curriculum to include spiritual, emotional, physical, mental aspects One of the definitions of success in Webster's Dictionary is, "favorable or desired outcome". The goal of the American Indian Association's IF WE TRY project is to ensure that American Indian youth in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades reach graduation. Bringing together Warm Springs and Portland area families and school officials interested in working toward that goal, the IF WE TRY project held a community building workshop at Kah-Nee-Ta July 15, 17 and 18. Project coordi nators have until the end of August to summarize and organize information gathered at the workshop and to formulate middle-school curriculum fitting that goal. Taking a "holistic" approach to dealing with education needs, the workshop focused on the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional as pects of the issue. Rudy Clements spoke on spiritu ality, saying that spirituality is one's most important qualities, without it, people will fail. "Spirituality is a way of life that bring a person's life into balance. Without spiritual help, a person will not succeed....It brings peace, calmness, freedom, the abil ity to deal with things and it brings strength." Speaking on physical fitness was Community's Out there in the woods and rural area are our natural resources. And it is up to all of us to protect them, not just the men in uniform, but you too, the owners of the land and all on it So we are talking about watching and protecting by reporting and maybe doing something yourself to protect iL We have deer and elk out there as well as the fish in our streams and our domestic animals such as cattle and horses to watch over and protect...the real point we are aiming at is that in order for all these resources to be there when they are needed and ready to harvest is that we should always protect and preserve those resources.

She stressed the im portance of physical fitness, but added that people should be "well and healthy, not just physically fit and a size 10 as dictated by society....Work on the other three (spiritual, mental and emotional) aspects of your life and wellness will come." She added that "you can be fat and fit and you can be fat and healthy. I'm proof." She has con trolled diabetes through her personal struggle for wellness. She said, too, that wellness should be stressed to youth. "These youth have very deep feelings about how they look. We spend a lot of time looking at them and they spend a lot of time looking at themselves. We need to get over how we look....We should close our eyes and ears and open our hearts and pursue wellness and health." Jeri Brunoe, speaking on the emo tional aspect of learning, stated that her success can be attributed to "stability in her family and my belief in the Creator. You cannot succeed without that. My family helped direct my emotions in a positive way. They were constant and consistent." She asked what young people do with their anger, guilt and joy. "Are these emotions being addressed. What is the cause? Are these emotions good or bad?" Not having any of these help needed for members and members of the com munity can get involved in. We the Fish and Game Division cannot be in all area's at the same time. So we need your help to watch over our resources and report any one who violates or damages the existence of our resources.

Also speaking at the conference was Howard Rainer, a well-known inspirational speaker. Speaking on mental wellness, Rainer cited three values necessary in a person's life. "You must have a vision, you must never quit and you must have belief in traditional values and teachings." Without a vision, Rainer said, "Indian people will perish... An Indian family must have a vision, because if not, they will separate. When an In dian has a vision, he can help a lot of people." He advised attendees to "discover your talents. You can't do anything until you do this." He urged people to have a no-quit attitude. "Don't quit because you fail a test. Don't quit because somebody says you can't do it. Don't quit under fire. Your ancestors never quit. Don't go to college if you're only going to turn around and come home. Don't go to high school if you're not going to finish." Finish what you start. Rainer said, too, that "you can not go through life alone. You must have spiritual strength. Many have it, many don't. You better have it. "We're here not just to talk.
