Cnicc again the drums will be
beating during the Huckleberry
Feast Ceremonies, in the longhousc
at He He Mill. August 6, 1993.
That's when the Traditional Rituals
will take place, as a Thanksgiving
for the first berries of the year.
On August 1, 1993, there were
Memorial dinners given at the
longhousc at He He Mill, and at that
time the berry pickers were blessed
before they venture into the
bcrryficlds to gather berries for the
coming feast Each year the huckle
berry feast is held at He He Mill
which is about 18 miles northwest
of Warm Springs along highway 26, along the Warm Springs River.
The huckleberry feast is observed prior to anyone going into the fields
to pick for self use. After all the rituals have been observed then it is
permissible for anyone to go into the berry fields to pick berries for their
own use. The Huckleberry Feast is a means of a Thanksgiving for the
first berries of the year and thanking the Creator for all the berries in
the fields. This is done by the Seven Drum Religion, as the drums echo
through the timber along the Warm Springs River.
At each huckleberry feast there usually is a fun rodeo, mostly for the kids
who want to do their thing in the rodeo arena. Calf riding, Colt riding, wild
cow riding contest, the wild colt race, and now and then a saddlcbronc by
one of the adults who want to show their stuff. There are also games played
in the arena during the rodeo, like the Fat mans race, the fat womens race,
the Cow Pie throwing contest, and sometimes mud-wrestling. There are all
kinds of events take place there. This is after all the rituals have been
observed. At night there is Indian dancing of all kinds in the longhousc,
stick games out of doors. There are plenty of concessions on hand to
quench the hunger or thirst. Just a Place to take the "Old Lady, and have
a good time." AHH-NAHH-CHI-TOON! !! .

Communities
To the editor,
For some lime now I have read
articles in the paper about the drop
Needless pain seen In community
To the editor,
I am a born again Christian and I
would like to encourage my fellow
brothers and sisters to turn their lives
over to Jesus Christ. There is so much
needless pain and suffering in Warm
Springs. Perhaps I could encourage
and help people to understand the
meaning of salvation. If it is possible
I'd like to share my testimony with
everyone in hopes that they may come
to believe there is a better life in store
for all true believers.

guilty of teaching prejudice
out rate among Indian students. As a
former graduate of Madras Senior
High, ! speak from experience. Yes,
my class had our share of drop outs,
Native American Indians are de
scendants of one of the twelve tribes
of Israel. To be specific, the "GAD"
tribe.
There is so much to share. I would
love to give my people some insight
on the bible. Jesus Christ loves every
one of his children and I feel he
would like me to help spread his
glory and faith with my people.
Thank you very much.
In God's service,

but not all of the drop outs were
Indian students.
Some of the kids from Madras did
get into their share of trouble. A few
got into trouble with Indian kids, so
it was easy for the kids or parents to
blame the Indian kids. Did the par
ents ever think what values they are
teaching their own child, when they
blame their own problems on others.
It is sad that when my younger
brother transferred to the Elementary
in Madras his first day he stepped off
the bus he heard two girls say to each
other, "Look, an Indian boy!" He
walked over to the girls and said,
"Look, two white girls!"
My husband (who is white) finds
that he would rather work in Warm
Springs, because the people treat him
like an adult and not a child. It is too
bad that he can't even walk around
with his own son without getting
funny looks. One person told him,
"You don't know how to put him in
his board?" He replied, "Why, be
cause I'm white?" Then he showed
this person that he could put his son
in his board.
I think both communities don't
realize it but they teach their children
prejudice. I hope parents will try to
think before speaking in front of their
children.
We have our share of bad apples,
but doesn't everyone! Why is it
people choose to remember the bad
apples but forget the good ones?
Sincerely,
Shauna Queahpama-Mehlberg
