Apology and thanks extended to friends, relatives of Ada Great success continued from page 4 Dear Friends, Relatives & Family, I am writing this letter of apology and thanks to you my Tanan (people) and Naimu (relatives). This is so I may make it right with myself and feel a little better about everything, that went on during the New Year. On New Year's Day, my sisters and myself gathered at the Agency Longhouse for a naming ceremony. Well, this is what I'm apologizing to you all about. For the ones who brought out the names, kinda didn't let all our family and relatives know about the happenings. My heart was sad and angry, cause nobody was notified. Like our uncles (brothers) and our aunts (the sisters). I felt like we did it behind all your backs, so now to face it, instead of letting it eat away at myself. Oh! yes. The names that were brought out belong to our Dear Departed Mother Ada Sooksoit. I feel that a person of this stature, whom made a name for herself and family. Well anyway everyone that knew her as a little girl and older person should have been notified. So on behalf of myself and the family, I apologize. Everything turned out very well on this New Year Day. She (Ada) use to always say "This Shc-Ap-Poo New Year is the time to bring out names." I'm very thankful for my eldest sister for following the teachings and uomg wnai nceaea to oe done. Short notice to me, but good feeling I got from it. I give all the Praise to our ALL MIGHTY, for it was HE who made everything fall into place, in such short notice. I would like at this time to THANK the following people: Aunt Lizzy Rhoan for her words of encouragement and love and support; Aunt Bernice Mitchell and Hilda Culpus for their support in helping guide us on the setting and speaking on our behalf; our niece-in-law Merle K. Thompson for her support and big heart, to give her all for her mother-in-law and family; and to our aunt Emily Waheneka for helping with he second name and for getting after us, just the words alone hurt. For this is the reason why I am writing to apologize for our error in communication. Also to give Praise and Thanks to you all who were there (Longhouse). Also forgive if we left anyone out, for we never meant to. Did the best we could, by her (Ada) teachings. And pray that Sh My Sh-My (Tonya Boise) and Sus Mise (LaNeda Thompson) grow to be as old as their great grandmother and be a great food gatherer and loving person and all. I pray that there are no hard feelings. And love to you all. Thanks for the space. Sincerely, Wilford "Wiggy" Sooksoit, Jr. Item: Beaded bowling bag $159 Pclton Lanes Gift Certificate W.S.

Boise Keane enjoys Indian literature and donated half his collection of 'ndian literature to the Madras High School library. Keane donates books to MHS On January 5, 1995, Gene Keane donated books to the Madras High School library. Keane had a collection of 100 books about Indians, written by Indians. He donated 50 of his books to the library because he feels that the library is lacking in Indian history and general literature about Indians. It is Keane's thought that students, Indian and non-Indian, should be educated about Indians. Not too many people know about Indians, even Indians. He says "just because your an Indian doesn't mean you know all about them." He feels there is a lot to learn about the First Americans. That is why he puts a lot of credibility in the Indian authors who wrote these books he has collected. Keane donated books about Indian history, general literature, and Northwest Indians written by Indian authors. Fourteen of these books were written by Jamaica Highwater. Keane is an employee of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs in the Natural Resources Department. He has taught Forestry and he has taught the SMILE Program for a while until it ended. Keane also taught at Haskell Indian Junior College about fourteen years ago. Keane would like everyone to know that the Madras High School has books about Indians and are available to the public for review.

Thank you so much all of you parents who come in regularly to volunteer in whatever way you can for our program. Parent involvement in children's education is very important no matter the age of the child and many of you make it a point to come in as often as you can. Ask your child's teacher if there is anything you can do to help out; maybe there are projects which can be done with your child at home and would also count as volunteer time. Your attendance at parent meetings counts as volunteer time as well. Remember, each time you volunteer or donate an item, be sure to write it on the volunteer sheet and sign your name. Your help and input are very valuable to our program and very beneficial to your child, they love to have you here! Doing activities together with your family brings everyone closer and makes for a nice memory when the child grows older. Here's an activity which involves the entire family and is so easy to do: Bird watching! Bird watching is fun, and your whole family can do it together! an easy to start is by feeding birds in the winter (remember, once you start, you must feed them until their natural food is available again). Build a windowsill feeding station. Tack a large board to a window ledge outside a family room. Feed the birds things like: cracked corn, mixed birdseed, bread crumbs, suet or peanut butter and sunflower seeds. ; Make a tree feeder by spooning peanut butter on the petals of pine cones and rolling the cones in birdseed. Hang the cones in a tree near your windowsill. Record, in a special notebook kept by the window, what kinds of birds you see, how many, and the dates you see them. Ask everyone in your family to help by recording the birds they see, too. Find a bird identification book to help you find the names of the birds in our area. Plan a bird watching picnic or nature hike with your family when the weather gets nice. See who can see and name the most birds!
