Jackpot! ! ! Struck it Rich...With
all the gaming establishments
springing up on all the Indian Res
ervations which could mean a suf
ficient income for some tribes,
especially those tribes who do not
have sufficient resources to rely
on. The gaming enterprises is cre
ating employment for its tribal
members and at the same time
bringing some income for the
tribes.
For the first time some tribes
are able to bring in some income
for their tribes and not really have
to depend on hand outs as people
call it when there is need for help.
What a great feeling it must be to
be able to offer employment to its
tribal members. The first ever for
I T
by Sid Miller
some reservations as in the past
there were no means of any kind of resources for tribes to work with.
Yep! In the past there were no means of any kind of resources to
work with and this created all kinds of problems on the reservations
where there were a lot of drinking alcohol, using drugs and all that stuff
because there was so much idle time and no employment to look
forward to. It was one scrape after another and some people even hit
skid road from all the broken promises made during the treaty signing
days many years ago.
: Gaming has changed the course of many tribes and the future
appears to look bright in many respects. People getting employment
they never had before and settling down earning a steady income and
even having spending money for the family. The Native Americans
seem to be on a road to recovery so to speak. With the small jobs they
have they can do things as a family together for a change and not
having the family waiting for the father to return home after an
unsuccessful search of a job.
Ooops! Wait-A-Minute! ! ! Now that the Indians have started to look
like they might have a means of self sufficiency the White Man wants
to get his fingers in the Pie. Yep! There is a bill in Legislature, House
Bill No, 34 1 1 , that bill if passed will allow gaming at the horse and dog
race tracks where hundreds of gaming machines would be installed
that would Rival the Indian gaming enterprises to drain the funds from
the Native Americans once again.
After all the hard work by all the Tribes and a whole lot of money
spent to make gaming a success, the White Man wants to step in and
take over on all the Income.
What ever the Indians have had that was good in the past the White
Man managed to take it away with all their lies and cheating that went
on all along. Make promises and broke them as long as they got what
they wanted. It all started right form the beginning of the birth of the
new world when the Pilgrims first came to our country. There were
times when the Indians kept the Pioneers from starving to death but
that didn't stop them from becoming greedy and taking what ever they
could. Some people would say the frontiersmen would stab his best
friend in the back to get what he wanted so it was easy for them to do
what they did to the Indians in the early days. Masquerade as Indians
to raid the other settlers so the Soldiers would round up the Indians or
drive them away so the White Man could have the best lands there
was..
Today the Indians have been making headway in the gaming field
in different parts of the country and it must look pretty good to the rest
of the public as to where they want to get into that today. The Indians
will be cast aside or run out of business by the White Man to where we
will be in poverty once again. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! !
To the editor.
Hello from Pastor Rick. I want to
talk a bout collection of things. In the
Bible the word adultery means un
faithfulness. To have the outward look
of commitment and being together.
Yet the inward eyes of wanting or
being with someone else. You com
mit adultery when you look at some
one else and compare them with the
one you are committed with in life.
Why is it wrong??? The other person
of your wants is someone you do not
know like you know your own mate.
Remember, your mate is someone
you know when they cry, laugh, and
when they make funny sounds; you
know your mate. The other person is
still a tempting mystery, so you fill in
the information with fantasy. You
make the other person a better talker,
lover, friend person in your life cries,
laughs and makes funny sounds too.
You fantasy turns out to be an
other human being. Not the answer to
the pain or struggle in our committed
relationship. Do not commit adul
tery. Commit yourself to making your
relationship a growing , loving, life
together. Next time a word on alco
hol & drugs as an act of adultery
against your committed relationship..
Many in Warm Springs know that a
good cow dog is worth its weight in
gold. A good do saves you time and
money in working your cattle. Plus
that dog is a good friend on top of
being a good hand. Warm Springs
Police has now an active K-o patrol.
A police officer with his dog. NO,
not the TV show "COPS" kind of
dog that will pull your arm off if you
move. K-o patrol is a dog with a
nose. To compare our nose with a
dog nose is the same as walking
around the world and flying in a jet
around the world, this dog can smell
things that people should not have in
their cars, homes, or on themselves.
The community of Warm Springs
has a good hand working for them, a
very good dog.
Once again, Vacation Bible
School is coming to Warm Springs.
June 19 to June 23. The Smith Me
morial Presbyterian Church will be
here to led another great program.
So, Moms and Dads, put on your
calendar June 19-23 for Vacation
Bible School at the Warm Springs
Presbyterian Church.

Men's conference was great! Thank you
To the editor,
I just wanted to send a big thank
you out to all the people who were
responsible for funding the partici
pants who were able to attend the
fourth annual Wellness & Native
Men's Conference on May 22-25 at
Albuquerque, NM. This year's theme
was "Honoring & Sharing Gifts of
Brotherhood". Although I don ' t know ,
who all was responsible, I just would ;
like to name a few that I do know of: ;
The Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs, the Vocational Rehab dept..
the Senior Citizen's staff (Wilson,
Eileen, & Wilfred) for their time and ;
patience as drivers. And all the other
Tribal dept.'s who excused their
workers so they could attend the con
ference. Last, but most importantly,
the Work Experience & Develop
ment deptVJTPA programs for their
support with the belief that all who
attended would benefit greatly for
the better. I want to add a special
thank you to the director of WEDD,
Marcia Soliz for the words of en
couragement and the verbal nudge in
the right direction.
Also thanks to all the people who
donated items to be raffled off as
prizes. And to all who purchased the
raffle tickets or attended fund raisers
put on by the WEDD staff. I would
also like to commend all the men for
their conduct during their time spent
at the conference which is a positive
reflection on their dept. and the Con
federation Tribes of Warm Springs
as a positive community. A loving
thanks to my family for their prayers
and all their support.
Thank you for you time.

PS I truly enjoyed this opportu
nity to experience my first Wellness
conference. Looking forward to more
in the future.

It s come to my attention t
Warm Springs is laying out pipes at
the bottom of Mutton Mountain.
Someone told me that it is to connect
all houses on the North end to the
main water supply. It's strange, I
don't recall being allowed to vote
about this matter. My memory has
been good these past ten years. Who

Dorothea Gabrielle
Joe
Love, Mom, Dad &
the rest of the family
made this decision for all of us? Was
it people pulling the strings of cer
tain people?
Originally every house has its own
well. We have sweet water on Mut
ton Mountain just like Rattlesnake
Springs water. Why would I want to
be connected to the main water sup
ply which most likely will have for
eign chemicals introduced into it like
fluoride which has been used in ex
periments and found to have killed
rats?
We understand that Warm Springs
Agency homes on the main water
supply are already being monitored
for their water usage. Are we being
set up to start paying for our
LIFE.. .WATER? We are already
paying for electricity when our own
Reservation has its own power enter
prise. Let the people have a voice and
really truly give the decision making
back to the people. If there are any
people out there who care to respond
to this, please write to me: (P.O. Box
898, Warm Springs, OR 97761) to
make me aware of what is really
happening, now that my true self is
back.

Sometimes... I can feel it, but other
times it really doesn't seem that long
ago you were my baby boy and you
looked just like this piture. I called
you my little man. When you got a
little older you liked to watch Kermit
the Frog and Fraggle Rock. You had
everyone of those He-men. Then you
were into Ninjas. Now it's CDs,
clothes, on the phone too long.
Always wanting to "hang" with your
friends. Oh, and always wanting to
drive my care every chance you get.
I can't believe all of a sudden how big
you've gotten.
Happy birthday and many more
to come, Love Mom and Sister
Like a broken record, "Behave
yourself.. .You Hear?"
