J I I r y w OF Mum II i A"1 Because of the uniqueness of its design, a Portland insurance com pany has presented The Museum At Warm Springs witn a frame repro duction of the artist's rendering of The Museum. JBL&K officials Jonathon Hart and Dennis Doherty were in Warm Springs last week to present the framed reproduction to Museum Di rector Michael Hammond. Hart said he became enamored with the design two years ago on a company outing at Kah-Nee-Ta where he saw it on display. He be lieved the illustration was so out standing that it should be framed and put on permanent display. The illustration is done by artists Louis Gagnon for Stastny Architects and features the Museum emerging from the earth in a rimrock patter with the building exterior on top of the ground. "I loved the drawing and wanted a copy of the illustration in my office " nan said. He also believed a copy needed to be hanging in The Mu seum and that is why the company made the presentation. Doherty said JBL&K likes to get involved in community events. "We try to give back to the community especially for worthy causes." Hammond said, "It's very pleas ing to know that visitors to The Mu seum are touched by their experience here. Hart was one of those visitors and he wanted to give the wonderful drawing back and we're very appre ciative of that." The framed reproduction features the three colors of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs in a geomet ric pattern around the drawing. The drawing will be hung in the hallway between the Museum staff offices and the library. r ' , it . . , -. ;v . 4 , ," ' , t -. , if I i . ...... j ,' Over 200 tribal members attended the Job Fair at Kah-Nee-Ta Resort February 28.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs will present information concerning the proposed legislation to the Indian Land Consolidation Act at a consul tation meeting in the Warm Springs Housing conference room beginning at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 8. The Warm Springs meeting is one of 11 such meetings in the Portland Area at which the overview con cerning Indian heirship has been pre sented. A growing problem has faced in dividual Indians, tribes and the BIA for many year, the fractionated ownership of allotted lands. The problem has now reached the point where the Department of the Interior's ability to administer allotted lands, probate Indian estates ana maintain the IIM system can no longer keep up with the increasing number of frac tional interests. An attempt to address the prob lem was made by Congress in 1984 when it passed the Indian Land Consolidation Act. Part of that Act requires that when an individual owner dies, an interest amounting to two percent or less in a tract of land will "escheat" or automatically transfer to the tribe. In spite of this law, the number of such small inter ests owned by individual Indians has grown from 350,000 in 1984 to over 1.5 million in 1994. . Any proposal to solve the frac tionated heirship problem must have two parts: 1) the consolidation of ownership and 2) the prevention, or substantial reduction, of further frac tionation. The objectives can be met through a land-purchase program, and by placing limitations on who can inherit interests in allotted land. For further information, be sure to attend the consultation meeting on ' March 8.

Civics with Darryl Smith, Accapella with James Burge, and Teen Parenting with Lisbet Hornung are her favorite classes. She also appreciates the support of her night school teacher Carrie Bodensteiner. Frank had to struggle a lot being a teen mother by making-up high school credits in order to be on track to graduite with her class. She feels she received a lot of help from many teachers and most likely could not have done it without them. She was presented with the Principal's Award her sophomore and junior years. She feels a bit scared about this being her last year at MHS, and that she's probably going to miss it And regrets not being involved with extra curricular activities such as dances due to being a teen-mother.
