Tribe receives DEQ grant The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs received notification that they were awarded a $219,400 solid waste grant to begin recycling. The grant will allow the Tribe to begin a comprehensive recycling program. There are several positive outcomes which we feel can be achieved from such a recycling recovery project. Socially, recycling will allow people the opportunity to come together and work for the common good and thereby increase self-esteem. Economically, the Tribe realizes that recycling is not a cash cow but that many of the economic benefits are hidden (i.e., saving of landfill space, reduced disposal costs, less chance of environment pollution). Environmentally, recycling keeps items out of the landfill and helps keep trash off the roads by increasing awareness and promotes resource conservation. Spiritually, the Native American has always held the land in great reverence and recycling and resource recovery will promote these important values. Long-term goals will include a curbside recycling program. Newspapers: In April, the community began newspaper recycling. This recycling effort has been greatly supported by the community and recovery of newspaper has far exceeded expectations. Office papers: The Tribe and other governmental agencies also generate a considerable amount of computer and office paper. Office paper and computer paper recycling would be in August of 1994. We expect to transport at least two semi-trailer loads of the product to Portland during this year. Composting: The recycling program will also encourage backyard composting and will begin a low-tech form of community composting in August. General education of the community would be through numerous flyers sent to each household. The first flyers will be sent out in July 1994 with another promotional flyer in October 1994. Warm Springs Elementary School, beginning this fall, hasagrecd to work with us in developing an integrated recycling and recovery program for the school and to use the curriculum developed by Department of Environmental Quality in this effort. Comments needed on HUD block grant application This year's 'deadline for submitting HUD Indian Community Development Block Grant applications is July 20. The Tribal Council will be discussing project ideas and funding criteria at 1:30 p.m. during their agenda on June 22. Proposals for projects are welcome. Thirty-eight regional tribes are eligible for maximum grants of $270,000, but only $2,365,000 is available for the entire region. The program is highly competitive, as only nine out of 21 applications were funded last year. Eligible activities include the following: Housing Category: Land Acquisition for Housing Housing Rehabilitation New Housing Construction Direct Assistance for Home ownership Community Facility Category: Infrastructure such as water and sewer Community Buildings Public Services Economic Development Category: Assistance to tribally-owned or joint venture business Assistance to micro-enterprises (five or fewer employees including the owner) Please contact the Planning Department at 553-3270 with your suggestions and comments. The Tribal Council will consider citizen comments and may modify a proposed application. A large number of projects were suggested last summer. Af ter re vie wing ideas, the Council authorized an application for housing rehabilitation, which would have focused on the Elliot Heights and Miller Heights subdivisions. The application was not funded. Because of the substantial housing need, the Council may decide to re-apply for housing rehab money.

Pages 8 and 9 Show at Museum examines tribal differences, similarities "Native America: Reflecting Contemporary Realities," the new show due June 18 at The Museum at Warm Springs, brings together the works of twenty-seven Indian artists from throughout the United States in an exhibit intended to "....counter attitudes about Native American art which are rooted in nostalgic and historic misrepresentations of Indian life," according to curator Sara Bates of American Indian Contemporary Arts, San Francisco. The 54 pieces in the show highlight the diversity of modem Indian art while noting a shift toward cultural sharing. In addition, the show illustrates the effects of societal pressures on the art of modem Native Americans. "The historic forced relocations of Indians, inter-tribal and inter-racial marriages and the increased mobility of everyone in contemporary society have resulted in blurred boundaries and myriad crosscultural art forms." said Bates, who is Cherokee. The work of contemporary Native American artists, " Bates said, "is grounded in the shifting realities of tribal life on the reservation, concepts derived from urban living, and the merging of both lifestyles." Warm Springs artists Lillian Pitt and Elizabeth Woody, both of who displayed works in the First Tribal Member Art Show, are featured in "Native America." Pitt's "Eagle" is a fine example of her distinctive ceramic mask work, while Woody's lithograph, "My Humanness is an Embellished Tongue" makes a return engagement after appearing in the Tribal Member Art Show. Other notable Native American artists appearing in the show are Maynard White Owl (CayuseNez Perce), Edna Davis Jackson (Tlingit) and Susie Bcvins (Inupiaq). "Native American: Reflecting Contemporary Realities" will be in the Changing Exhibit Gallery from June 18 through September 9. Opening reception will be held June 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. All Tribal Members and employees are invited. Traihng-thf -Enemy and his wife by Marcus A merman
