Giving The Gift Of Life is the arm of the Native
American Marrow Recruitment Bone Marrow Donation
Project. There is a desperate need for Native Americans on
the National lists because each year many Native American
children and adults develop fatal blood diseases.
The best chance of a match is with a donor who is a
family member. Unfortunately 70 percent of patients
cannot find a match in their own families. The next best
chance is with a person of the same racial heritage. You
may be the one person in a million who can save a life.
This idea and many others were shared at the Wellness .'
and Native Men Conference Honoring and Sharing The
Gifts Of Brotherhood May 22-25, 1995 in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. According to University Of Oklahoma Health
Promotion Programs Director, Billy Rogers, 532 Native
American people from the United States and Canada were
present at the conference. Thirty were from Warm Springs.-
Warm Springs resident Wilfred Jim was given the honor
of giving the opening prayer and song at the beginning of
the conference May 22.
The Confederated Tribes Of Warm Springs has assisted ,
the Health Promotion Programs for the past two years, says
Rogers. "We greatly appreciate it and hope everyone who '
came enjoyed themselves at the conference."
During the week, Clan Sharing Workshops were ;
developed and everyone was encouraged to participate in
as many as they thought they needed during the week.
iian bnaring Workshops included Recovery and
Discovery, The Circle of Life and Wellness, How to be a
Good Parent, Fitness Wise Healthy Knowledge, Sex,
Sexuality, and Spirituality and Son to One, Father to Some,
Brother to All, were just a few of the topics. There were also
AA meetings daily and nightly sweat lodges, Fitness walks
and runs, Talking Circles And weight training. On Tuesday
night a social powwow in the New Mexico Ballroom and
lunch was served Mexican buffet style outside the Hiltons
pool and patio area. Everyone enjoyed the Dinner and
talent show on Wednesday night and by three p.m on
Thursday afternoon the conference came to an end with
closing ceremonies. ;

Miss Warm Springs 1994 welcomed the Oregon Symphony
for its first-ever concert in Warm Springs on Sunday, June 4
at 10 a.m.when she performed the Lords Prayer (sung a
capella by Anita Davis) as the first half of a cultural exchange
between the Warm Springs Confederated Tribes and
members of Oregon Symphony under the direction of
Resident Conductor Murry Sidlin
Following the ceremonies, Sidlin recognized retiring Chief
Executive Officer Ken Smith before conducting a community
education concert which featured Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and
Juliet " Overture, Bernstein's "Candide" Overture, movements
of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 and Dvorak's Slavonic
Dances.
Sidlin visited Warm Springs several weeks before the tour
to tape oral program notes for KWSO Radio, and several
advance copies of the Oregon Symphony's recording of the
work were also forwarded for airing prior to the concert. In
addition, Education Director Patricia Vemer shared "teachers'
guides" with the Confederated Tribes to allow schools and the
community to prepare for the free concert.
The concert was presented by the Warm Springs
Confederated Tribes and was sponsored by Indian Head
Gaming, Kah-Nee-Ta Resort, Warm Springs Forest Products
and Warm Springs Power Enterprise.
