its member tribes, (2) developing
consensus on matters of mutual im
portance, (3) assisting m amber tribes
in their governmental and program
matic development consistent with
their goals of Self-Dctcrmination and
Scfl-Sufficicncy, and (4) providing
for and effective public relations and
education program with the
non-Indian community.
Topics discussed at the week-long
meeting were Tribal Gaming, Hous
ing issues, Health, Economic De
velopment, Indian Education, Native
Amcriocan Veterans issues.
The Indian Health Service Bud-
;ct was one of the concerns among
cadcrs at the meeting. A resolution
in part goes;
"Whereas both the House and
Senate have passed an appropria
tions bill for the Department of In
terior and Related Agencies for FY
94 whic contains the Indian Health
Service budget, and
Whereas, the funding level rec
ommended by the House Bill more
appropriately addresses the funding
needed for Indian Health services,
and
Whereas, the Senate Bill was
amended at the last minute to elimi
nate language which stated that per
sonnel eclings may not be imposed
on the Indian Health Services nor
action taken to reduce the
emilmination of temporary employ
ees, by reduction in force, hiring
freeze or any other means, whthout
reporting to Congress, and
Whereas, tribes arc very con
cerned that the Executive Order
Requiring a 4 reduction in person
nel by FY 95 and a 14 reduction in
administrative cost by FY 96 will not
be held to Headquarters and Area
Offices and will impact health care
delivery to Indians people.
The Indian Health situation is a
very important issue among the In
dian Leaders today.
The Tribal Leaders all were in
favor of the Klamath Indians land
bid at the meeting. At one time the
Klamath Tribes were once a prosper
ous Nation but because passage of
P.L. 587, terminating the Klamath
Tribes in 1954 as a federally recog
nized Indian Tribe with out Tribal
consent nor agreement, the reserva
tion land was disposed of through
subsequent legislation.
Leaders from the Klamath tribe
presented the resolution before the
ATNI group which was in full sup
port of all the leaders there.
The Indian Education is always in
the modest of problems and discus
sions continue at each meeting.
Funding, student participation in
various schools, and the Indian
boarding schools have a deep con
cern among many Leaders.
Every thing taken into consider
ation at the ATNI meetings and all
the Resolutions approved will be
heard in Washington D.C., and with
all the support of the Tribal leaders
things can be heard in
Congress. Among some of the topics
discussed and addressed was the
Hantavirus, the Mystery Illness, first
showed up in the Navajo Reserva
tion. The Hantavirus is thought to be
the cause ot the respiratory distress
syndrome which has been called in
the news the Mystery Illness. The
illness is now known as HARDS.
(Hantavirus Associated Respriatory
Distress Syndrome).
How does it effect you? People
who have HANTAVIRUS may have
some or all of the following: fever
(high body temperature); muscle
aches; chills; dry cough; headache;
nausea & vomiting; shortness of
breath; red eyes.
How does a person get the
hantavirus? It is believed that the
Hantavirus is carried in the urine,
feces and saliva of Deer Mice and
possibly other wild rodent. For more
information the Public Health should
have pamphlets on the illness.

Vaccinations, medical care keep pets happy, healthy
Your dog
Pets are wonderful companions.
But like all living things, they have
needs and one of those needs are
vaccinations to keep them healthy.
Dogs and cats come into contact fre
quently with other animals which
increases their risk of infection. Vac
cines protect pets against common
viruses and bacteria.
At eight weeks of age a puppy
should receive its First vaccination
for diseases called Distemper,
parvovirus and corona. All three vi
ruses are prevented with a single
vaccine. However, booster shots must
follow the initial vaccine every three
weeks until the puppy is five months
old, just to be certain the puppy is
protected. It is unknown when the
immunity to these diseases begins
for puppies, but it is certain the puppy
is immune after five months. It is still
important, though, to get boosters
once a year.
Dogs of all ages should have a
raoies snot each year beginning at six
months. All warm-blooded animals
can become infected with rabies vi
rus, and it is a threat to humans as
well. In North America most rabies
exists in wildlife, especially raccoons,
skunks, foxes and bats. Rabies is
spread by bites or saliva of infected
animals. Therefore, an unvaccinated
dog or cat involved in a fight with a
wild animal should be suspect for
rabies.
Anytime a dog acts listless and
won't eat, or shows unusual behav
ior, it is probably sick. Some diseases
can be stopped after the dog is in
fected, but some cannot. Prevention
by vaccination is the best way to
protect a dog.
A small mite is responsible for the
disease called mange which causes
itching. Dogs who scratch a lot, and
lose patches of hair from scratching
may have mange. This is contagious
to people.
Mange is easily treated. An in
oculation may be given to attack the
disease systemwide, or a dip is
available for mild cases. To prevent
a dog from suffering because of the
irritation, a veterinary visit may be
necessary.
Your cat
Cats tendency to roam increases
contact with other animals, increas
ing their exposure to disease. Severa!
diseases that cats get are almost al
ways fatal-feline leukemia, feline
infectious peritonitis and rabies
Other can kill kittens or destroy the
health of adult cats. Prevention as
sures that a cat will continue to be a
good pet.
At eight weeks of age, a kitten can
receive a vaccination for distempe
