Just a little over a year ago Gov
ernor Barbara Roberts, called upon
Oregon residents across the state to
, meet in the Oregon Convention
Center. The subject was, "Diver
sity." People from all walks of life
came to the meeting representing
every section of the state. At the
meeting things looked very bright
and promising for the future of our
state.
There is a big racial problem in
the state, and one of the fastest
rising of mixed races is hereg in
Central Oregon. Each year more
and more transits move in and settle
down. The latest boom has been the
Hispanic race. But thats not the real
problem because the racial prob
lem has been present all along.
Yep! Here we are trying our best to ease the situation on divirsity, here
come people who blame the "Gang," situation. These Jerks, come with
their stupid idea's of being a gang member of some sort, cause problems
for the Civil person who is trying to make ends meet for his family.
This Crap about the gang situation around here is a little pathitic and a
bunch of stupidity among those who participate in that type of activity. A
: bunch of people who will never amount to much in life if they don't
; straighten themselves out. The only way they feel that they are recognized
is by being stupid and causing problems for the living. That's the only way
they can get any attention is caliming they are a gang leader or a member
of a gang and trying to be a tough guy .The only time most of them feel
powerful is if they out number the other side to where they start bullying
people around.
Yep! there could be more to this problem than one realizes like
communication between races. There are some people who can't speak the
English language and need an interpitur to speak for them. This makes it
look more like a gang situation when it isn't, but the truth is these people
won i cumiuuiiicaie wim me omer races, so mey iaKe tne oest way out by
being a tough guy.
Around Central Oregon in the past the Droblem was not so obvious
because everyone spoke the English language and everyone could com
municate with one another. Even in the ole bording school days here in
Tourney to offer varied information
To the editor,
On March 4, 1995, at the

of communicatito gap among everyone around here. Gary Villa &Juanita Denny
Yep! I he problem seems to stem from this berrier of communication
,' between races within the area. There are a lot of Hispanic children who
cannot speak the English language so they group up which makes it more
gang looking than it really is. Some people feel that they are plotting some
activity against the others, and to think this is all the more patitic. Yep ! Here
we are trying our best to combat this situation of gangs and other related
problems, still the gang situation worsens.
Well ! There is one gang that is slowly dying away and is becoming more
noticible and that's the gang from the, "Dirty Moc." Prior to that the old
"Wide Spot" gang broke up and is now a thing of the past.

An article sent in by Floyd Dawson, of Tonalea, Arizona, saying that he
lost a brother CPL. Jerry Lorenzo Dawson, who was killed in Vietnam,
June 8, 1967. He has visited the Vietnam memorial wall four times
What disturbs Mr. Dawson is the statue of the three races of Anglo,
Hispanic and Black soldiers. They left out the Native Americans. There
should be something done for the Native American veterans along with the
other races.
I fully agree with Mr. Dawson that the Native Americans were short
changed not only at the Vietnam memorial, but memorials from all wars
where many Native Americans played a big roll for their country. All the
big battles like Khe Sanh, Quang Tri, Pleiku, Bien Hoa, Hue, PhnomPenh,
Dak To, Chu Lai, and the list could go on and on where many Native
Americans played a major role in service.
But to get things underway we should get to work on something like
Floyd Dawson suggested. The Indian need recognition just as much as any
other soldier.
Like Floyd Dawson, President and Founder, Native American Veterans
Memorial Act. If you have any ideas, suggestions you can contact him at,
(602) 283-88 1 8, or write to . TVMP, INC., P. O. Box 09, Tonalea, Arizona
86044-009. The Native Americans should be recognized. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON!!!
Be Careful!
To the editor,
My son Levi Lee Walsey would
have been 28 years old January 14.
But he'll always be 26 years old.
Please you young people, take care
of yourself when you go out in the
world at night. Cause like me, your
mother loves you and people care for
you like they did Levi the "Raccoon".

To the editor,
This letter is a message to all
American Veterans, Native American
and non-Native and friends across
the United States of America.
P.L. 103-384, the National Native
American Veteran's Memorial Act
was signed by the President of the
United States Bill Clinton on October
22, 1994.
Under the bill, a memorial to
Native American Veteran's would
be built at the National Museum of
the American Indian. The museum is
a part of the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington, D.C.
The United States Government
shall not pay any of the expenses of
the establishment of the Memorial
other than providing the site. No
federal funds were committed to the
project.
Senator John McCain from
Arizona sponsored Senate Bill 293
in the Senate of the United States to
establish a permanent National Native
American Indian Veterans' Memorial
in Washington, D.C.
Senator John McCain, you are to
be commended for the time and
efforts, I appreciate your concern and
thank you for expressing your support
to honor Native American Veterans
across the USA. Also, Native
Hawaiians and Alaska Native.
For more information or any
questions, please do not hesitate to
contact Mr. Floyd Dawson, at this
telephone number (602) 283-8816.
Or write to this address: TVMP, INC,
Attn.: Mr. Floyd Dawson, PO Box

you for reading my article. May God
Bless You and God Bless America.
