In Vietnam....
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.

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

claimed, said authorities.
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

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. A brief
