Vet benefit deadline extended A federal judge Thursday extended the deadline for Vietnam Veterans to file claims for compensation as victims of the Agent Orange defoliant U.S. District Court Judge Jack Weinstein, who established the $ 1 84 million Agent Orange Payment Prograni in 1985, said the program will now accept all applications submitted with a postmark of January 1 7 or earlier. The program originally had been scheduled to conclude at midnight Saturday. Weinstein said the deadline was being extended because of the large number of applications submitted in recent weeks and because of a flood of inquiries this week. . About 39,000 U.S veterans and their families have received money from the fund since the program began sending out checks in 1989. About $21 million has not been Tribal Member Art Show scheduled to begin May 1 3 The Museum at Warm Springs invites all tribal member artists and craftspeople to submit slides and photographs of their work for our second Tribal Member Art Show. This annual juried show was changed to run during the summer months, May 13, 1995 toSeptember22, 1995, to give our tribal members artists the best possible public exposure. We wish to encourage all tribal member artists and craftspeople to -inter the show. If you are unable to have slides or photographs of your current work done, please contact Roxanne Casey at The Museum as soon as possible so we can make other arrangements. It is an honor to announce this K ear's judge, nationally known ative American artist, Maynard White Owl. His beautiful elks tooth wing dress and capote coat were displayed in a previous show at The Museum, "Native America: Reflecting Contemporary Realities." - The three categories of awards are as follows: 1. The Judge's Choice Award: Navajo feels Native Americans recognized at VietNam Wall To the editor, My name is Floyd Dawson, a na tive of Tonalea, A2. 1 am of Navajo Tribe. I was raised in the traditional Navajo ways and living on the Na vajo reservation all my life. Tonalea is a small community with a popula tion of 1,780. When I was 16 year old, I lost my oldest brother in the Vietnam War on June 08, 1967. I have visited the Vietnam Memorial four (4) times in Washington DC because my brother, Cpl. Jerry Lorenzo Daw who was killed in Vietnam, his name appears on the Black wall at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. . When I visited the Vietnam Me morial, I waas so disappointed that no Native American Veteran was rep resented at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. A statue there shows an Anglo, Hispanic and Black soldier. "They left us out Native American." My original dream was to erect a statue of a Native American Indian Veteran at the Vietnam Veterans Want to subscribe to Spilyay Tymoo? Send subscription to: Spilyay Tymoo, P.O.

Conrad Hanks, a veteran from Bend, called seeking compensation. He said veterans must be 100 percent disabled or have a Veteran's Administration-certified, 70 percent Agent-Orange connected service disability before qualifying for the fund. The settlement was reached after veterans brought a class-action lawsuit against the makers of Agent Orangcchargingthatitcauscdcancer and other illnesses and produced birth defects in their children. To obtain a claim application, veterans should contact the payment program at 1-800-225-4712. Weinstein said the claims administrator has increased the number of telephone lines and operators to accommodate incoming calls. This prestigious award is selected by the Judge as the most outstanding of all the work submitted. The work chosen will be used as our primary publicity piece, and will be on the invitations that are sent out nation wide to announce the show 's opening reception. Financial compensation for the use of the work will be given. 2. Honorable Mention Award: These cash awards will be selected by the Judge as outstanding work. The award constitutes recognition and support to the artists to continue with their endeavor. 3. TheTimberline Lodge Purchase Award: Timberline CEO Richard L. Kohnstamm will select the purchase for resale in the Timberline Lodge gift shop. Works selected for this category must be available for sale and the award amount depends upon the artist's listed selling price. Recognizing that a career in art can be difficult, Kohnstamm created the Timberline Lodge Purchase Award to provide a financial incentive for artists to pursue their craft. If you are interested in entering Memorial in Washington, DC, what I requested and would like to see is have a fourth statue representing the American Indian Veterans of the United States. I bought up this idea to my home Chapter, Tonalea Chapter, the people liked the idea and sup ported it with a Chapter Resolution; the Navajo Nation Council also passed a resolution. I also had ex pressed this concern to the Arizona and New Mexico States Legislator's. I had a strong support by the US Senator John McCain from Arizona, he introduced to establish a National Native American Veterans Memo rial Act regarding Senate Bill 293. S .293 would authorize the estab lishment of a National Native Ameri can Veterans' Memorial to honor all Native American veterans who served in the armed force of the United States during war time from Revolution to Vietnam to Desert Storm. However, my dream of erecting a statue in tie nation's capital took a giant step recently when President of the United States Bill Clinton signed State $9.00 per year in the U.S. $15.00 per year outside the Tribes of Warm Springs wi8 receive the Spilyay Tymoo at Apologies To the community, I apologize for driving while under the influence of intoxicants.

News service National Native News announced recently the launch of a new five-part series titled "Native America's War on Poverty". This series will air January 9 through 13 on more than 150 tribal and public radio stations nationwide. During the years of 1953 to 1977, reservation systems were terminated and reinstated; Native people mi grated to urban areas and were then allowed to return to lands they no longer owned; and the government's policy for fighting poverty in the larger society had mixed successes in Native communities. This series will introduce the ter mination policy, the social ills and frustrations it caused and the attempts of poverty policies to alleviate de plorable conditions on reservations and in Native communities.
