The Tribal Organization has
really grown here in the past
couple of decades and all the tribal
offices arc over crowded. Every
one is always looking for more
office space. It seems like the
more we build the more we need.
When one office is vacated it al
ways stirs up quite a commotion
among all the department heads
with everyone trying to outdo the
other in getting the space.
rep! things have really
changed since the "Olden Days,
like every time there is office space
available everyone is hassling
each other trying to get more space. There was once a time when the
entire Tnbal Office was situated in
building, so you can sec how much
have several Branches which spread out into many departments
That's why whenever there is a
around in a mad scramble to get
I There was a new Administration
was to house the tribal organization, but when all the space was
assigned out many Branches were
nave many oranencs witn omccs spread all over the place in different
areas or buildings when they should all be in the same area. Yep! every
time there is new oilice space Supervisors and Department heads arc
always bickering over the space, and it usually ends up that the one
who really should have gotten it
When the old Administration
took over most of the offices, but
own 01 1 ices built up at the Industrial Park area, so did the Roads
Department. Now the Natural Resources and Tribal Court take up all
the space and forced the Spilyay Tymoo out of the building there and
guess where they moved the Spilyay Tymoo. Spilyay Tymoo was
placed in the basement of the old girls dorm, a space where no one else
would have nothing to do with. It was old, dirty and with a moldy smell
which still lingers throughout the offices. When it really rains we arc
Hooded out most of the time. Yep!
where many people don't even know
with management out I guess they
They probably thought. It's only Spilyay, so let's put them down in the
basement. Yep! We've been put here and there at will, to places where
no other department wanted and without any discussion, they just say,
you win DC moving to that location.
Today they put Spilyay Tymoo
you ask me I think Spilyay Tymoo
where it won t bother any one or
I still feel Spilyay Tymoo is a thing

And we as a Branch should have a
branches together.
We need a good central location
the community and the Tnbal Membership. A good location would be
just at the top ol the hill on highway
bet since I mention this location everyone else will want the same site
And if that's not feasible than another good location would be along
the EastTcnino street overlooking
lor the entire Branch and keep other
them Apples " Ann-NAnn-Chi-Toon! !!
Reservation Nice
I like our reservation because it seems quiet and peaceful to live in.
Some people say, we have a beautiful place to live, away from all the
rush, rush, of the city life. It is a beautiful place to live as long as you
don t go to certain places around here.
It really is pathetic how people drive out in the country where the
land is beautiful, the roadways are
some people who take their trash and
Litter scattered all over the place. Why don't they just haul their trash
to the landfill which is much closer
their trash.
Makes people wonder what could
do things like this. Maybe they are used to living in places like this and
want the rest of the reservation to look the same. Yep! It would be
much much more closer if they just

beautiful place to live, "wouldn't it?"

Powwow committee extends appreciation for help
To our people,
The Veterans Day Powwow
Committee would like to lake this
time to give special thanks to all the
Veterans, Tribal Council. Ken Smiih,
Dora Sahmc, Luana Macy, Warm
Springs Public Safely, McGruff,
Fireman Bob, Sparky, and our spon
sors for your support to make the 4ih
Annual Veterans a success.
The committee thanks all the par

the powwow which witnessed with
us, the talent, strength and beauty
that was displayed during the Men's
All Around and powwow. The com
Take responsibility for your
To the editor,
Lately it seems I'm always hear
ing of someone else passing on. My
heart aches, my prayers and thoughts
go out to the ones left behind.
Time after time people tend to
stand up to share a few words of
comfort for the family. The key
phrase that never fails to come out
goes something like this: ..."we never
gather ourselves together until
something like this happens." Please
note! Not only arc these words not up
lifting to those already in pain! Our
heavenly creator commands that we
f ;athcr ourselves together, to be up
ifling and love one another.
Our reservation is steadily striv
ing towards our tribes healthiness,
theme being: "The healthiest com
munity by the year 2000" I hear a lot
of snickering, ill jokes and a trove of
negative comments over this and I
agree, realistically it s unattain
able. Say, like by the year "twenty
thousand and something plus how
ever long it's going take" would
be a little more "con-vincing."
What I'd like to share is this: Just
going through the motions of life by
woodenly bumping into each other
on occasion, coupled witn not ac
tively attaining sincerity in focusing
on other's doesn't help! What would
help? Good question. I've been ask
ing myself that for the longest time
and now here's my thoughts I can
offer you today but later on as I
grow into my own wellness, I may be

and honor the late Jimmy Macy who
helped the powwow in every aspect
throughout its formation which made
this powwow a success. Our love and
respect goes to his beloved widow,
Luana Macy.
Also in special recognition toNcda
Wesley, Liza Brown, Alex and

workers that helped make the kitchen

able to add on or even say "No, I was
wrong," then retract it.
My entire existence consisted of
my six children, our home, my hus
bands job and that was it. I didn't
c ven inc lude my self , in any way shape
or form. Before and even after my
marriage, I faithfully kept my motto
of, "Go along, to get along. In this
"victim role" life failed to be any
good, it just kept spiraling down
ward into a cold dark muck!
Feeling like a worn out door mat
with the same old problems
troppcling upon me I started un
raveling and falling apart! At limes I
felt like I was going crazy and very
much un-lovcd.
So I sat out for prayer, got prayed
over and also cried out for help. I had
isolated myself to the point of not
having any close friends, no strong
bonds to feel close to my extended
family members, cause I didn't want
to burden anybody with my life's
ills. I had no co-workers for support,
I wasn't employed and I felt over
whelmed with bill collectors want
ing to be paid off all at once! On and
" on it went. There wasn't any let up,
and it never will, but we don't have to
go it, feeling all alone.
So, here I am with just the bear
threads of my life, praying, crying
out my anguish wanting help and
through prayer I was shown our In

singing, dancing and just being there

own actions
with one another. We were created to
be "social." We have a deep need to
be with one another. To share a good
laugh, a meal, even a few moments
for a warm hug, a pat on the back, a
smile or a kind word in passing. . . a
little love.
Even though this was shown to
me I felt incapable of fulfilling this
tall order in my state of un healthiness.
Today I'm carefully taking steps to
wards working on my wellness, by
"reaching out to others.
People! We've enough programs
to get us up and going, but we've just
got to feel important enough to our
selves to utilize them.
All I'm asking is take responsibil
ity of your own actions and use your
common sense of "basic needs."
Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet,
get plenty of rest, learn how to relax
(I have to learn). Socialize in a
wholesome way go to a place of
worship of your choice, try going to
Community Counseling. Seek out
support groups, ask Family Preser
vation, "What programs are there?" I
heard ECE has the best packet form
of information.
"Caring for yourself is being your
own best friend." Easier said than
done, right? Right, but I am trying
and I hope you will too. That's about

my heart, until next Ume, Bye.
