Veterans Day is ncarine, a day
set aside to honor all those young
i- - j
men wno sucnucea meir lives aur
ing war time. To honor all who
served in the armed forces of the
United States.
All veterans should take pride on
tjiis day as they were willing to put
their lives on the line during hostel
times around the world,
j Many years ago this day was
known as "Armistice Day, after
the end of World War One. Thats
when the war ended in Europe,
lhcre war ragged in the trenches,
rjiud and behind the barbwire, throw
in some poison gas or chemicals.
There are just a very few men left
from that War which ended in 1 9 1 7.
f Vnr CAUAfnl iArc ta vfrf tune
ait peace but behind the scenes there was plans of war in the European
countries, as the Nazis were on the move until the start of world war II,
when Germany invaded Poland, in 1 939. From there they went on to other
cpuntries, like Romania, the Netherlands and the war was spreading all
dver Europe. In the meantime in the far east the Japanese were stirring up
aJot of camotion as they were invading small countries and parts of China.
I The United States was pretty much natural all this time while things
were building up all around the world. ;
i Well the Japanese sided in with the Axis forces and really went on a
rampage taking all the Island in the South Pacific. All the activities around
the world and the United States was not envolved in anyway.
j But than on December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire made a sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor, on Oahu, Hawaii. Their attack cought the
Americans with their hands down and crippling most of the Fleet that was
anchored at Pearl Harbor. Many many Americans lost their lives during
that sneak attack which prompted the United States to declare war on the
Japanese Empire and the Axis forces around the world. The sneak attack
was planned to cripple the U. S. Fleet that was in the Pacific theater at that
time.
1 Today as you visit Hawaii, you can still see the remains of all the
battleships that was sunk during that attack. The memorial of the USS
Arizona, where hundreds of sailors lost their lives with out a chance to get
away. Yep! it was on a Sunday morning on a peaceful morning when the
big attack arrived.
That put the United States of America into the war, and so the World
Vjter II was in full swing. Today we read of all those battles of the South
Pacific and in Europe during WWII. The Fall of Bataan, Corregidor,
Leyte, Mindanaio, and the death march by the U. S. Prisoners of War:'"-'-'
When the U. S. finally made their aggressive move.was the invatioirof 1
Guadalcanal, and from there it was a Island hopping job of retakingatt
those small Islands taken by the Japanese, the Gilbert Islands, the
Marshall Islands the Marianas, where all those horrible battles at Tarawa,
Sjpan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Guam. The retaking of the Philippines,
j In the mean time the U S forces landed on North Africa and were
pushing their way up through Italy, and finally the big landing at
Normandy. That took a lot out of the German army and they were being
pushed right back to Germany. Finally the war was over in Europe, but, .
there was still fierce fighting in the Pacific Theater with the Japanese.; '
: As the troops were coming home from Europe and many were ' '
preparing to go on to the Pacific Theater it was decided to drop the A
Bpmb, which really put the end of WWII. The unconditionsl Surrender '
by the Japanese forces ended the Big World War. . ,
j World Series
The World series are the highlights of the happenings around here today
and the games are between the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves.'".
Or should I have said the Cleveland Native Americans VS The Atlanta
Native Americans? , .
: To some folks who work for a living everyday think it' s pathetic on how
some people re-act to something like the Cleveland Indians, something
that has been around here for years and years and no one has been hurt from
uSat. The Name of the Cleveland Indians, The Atlanta Braves, for the
majority of the real Indians who live and work for their living don' t even'
pay any attention to the names. It's just people who have nothing to do but
Sit around and think up bad things they can do to stir up a fuss on petty .
things. , . . , ..
; These names have been around so long that even the grand parents
never gave it much thought at all. Like they say, its only a game.
I YepT The Working Native Americans can care less of what the teams
are called. They are too busy taking care of theirfamilies and their jobs and
ijot out looking for hand-outs. I've been a Cleveland Indian fan all my life
and I'm sure not gonna change my ways now.
Dear Community members,
It is with great relief and gratitude
that I write this letter to let special
people know how grateful I am to
have them in my Jifc.
The frightening incident involved
my fiance", Dane Jackson who hadn't
returned home from work on Satur
day, October 14, 1995. '
To make a long story short, Dane
"was returned home to me safely in
the early morning on Monday. You
cannot believe the relief I felt when I
heard his footsteps come in the door;
Late Sunday evening" I was ad; '
vised by Dane's mother to contact,
the police department to see what we
should do. I am very grateful that our
community has a group of people '
such as the Search and Rescue Team
who responded immediately when
the incident was reported. I don't
know who specifically involved, but
THANK YOU! And also a big thank
you to the WS Police department
personnel who was involved.
I would like to thank Johnny ,
Guerin & Tanya for their coopera- '
tion and support when I reported the
incident to them, as Dan is employed
by Johnny.
I would like to thank my two beau
tiful aunts, Eliza Brown & Ncda
Wesley for coming to my apartment
and being with me. They came and
told crazy stories to make me laugh
and keep my spirits up, and most of
all for the faith they have in Dane and
the prayer.
I would like to thank Rcgina Heath
and Alice Jackson, my future in-laws
for their love and support through the
ordeal.
I would like to thank my friends,
'Angie Smith, Angie Spino and
Deborah Jackson for their support
and words of encouragement. I'm
glad I have friends like you.
It just seems like words cannot
express my deep appreciation, but I
. wanted to thank everyone from the
bottom of my heart.
' Respectfully,
' Helena M. Shike

To the people of Warm Springs,
I am in my final term at Portland
, State University. As a tribal mem
' bcr, I am a recipient of a tribal schol
arship which is renewed each term
based on meeting or exceeding class
credit requirements and G.P. A stand
ing. For the past six terms, I have
received a child core allowance as a
part of my tribal scholarship. This
allowance provided much need as
sistance to pay for preschool costs so
I could attend classes.
I am a single mother going to
school full-time. This term, on the
second day of classes, I received a
letter in the mail from the Education
Department informing me that I
would not be receiving any child
care assistance since my daughter is
not an enrolled member. First of all,
it was my understanding that my
tribal scholarship was to assist me
through higher education al am a

care allowance was a part of that

any prior warning? and 2) Since my
daughter is eligible for enrollment
through the adoption process, how is
it that she is shut from the commu
nity and its resources when the he
adoption process is put off through
no fault of ours?
Which leads me to anther subject.
As this is my final term, I intend to
return to WS after graduation. I am
looking forward to returning home
with my daughter and contributing
to my community. I am proud that
will be returning with a college de
gree. It is not something I could have
done without the assistance of my
tribal scholarship and the support of
my family. I have worked hard not
only for myself and my family, but
for the people of WS, who invested
faith and support in my achievements
and potential.
As a former Miss Warm Springs,
I proudly represented all of the people
of WS as an Indian person. This
craziness about pedigrees had me
deeply saddened. I have to carry my
"pedigree card" and it gives me a
fraction that some people use to judge
my indianess . As lar as I am con
Life full of "laws"
To the editor,
Hello from Pastor Rick. Wow,
my week has been full of "what's the
use", "they don't care", "it doesn't
matter": "why have a seat belt
law. .the police don't do anything
anyway". "Why stop drinking, it's
MY life".
You know there is a God. For me
to put up with a week of anger, self
righteous, pity-pot, and brats. Why
does an attitude that is filled with
pessimism, and Mb statements
seem to fill the air?
Somewhere out in the world there
is a law that says the world is to bend
my way. The second law says if it
will not bend my way then the world
is to stand straight up. The third law
says if the world will not bend my
way and will not stand straight up, it
will not be out of reach. Yep, some
where out in the world these three
, laws are written. Yeah, right, if you
believe that then come see me about
some swamp land up on the flats I'll
sell you cheap. There are no written
laws, yet we carry the attitude as if
they exist.
To be down on life or a part of it is
not allow a living God to be a part of
you. A bum attitude is a small win
dow to the soul. You see what is truly
a part of a person's life. You see
images of the Lord or a poor reflec
tion of the burden that a person car
ries inside of themselves. What is the
written Law? First law, God is Love.
Second law, Love your God. Third
law, Love yourself and others. If the
third law is too tough, go to the
second. If the second is confusing,
remember the first. A bum attitude or
an attitude of love. See you in church.

mother, a human being. As an In
dian, I raise my daughter according
to all of the values and traditions that
are being passed to me. Whether she
is accepted or rejected by my com

who she is, an Indian.
Things being as they are, I can
only say that I am fortunate that I
have had my scholarship stripped of '
child care assistance in my final term,
otherwise, I may not have been able
to finish school. It would have been
a great help to have received notice

for the support she has personally
given through this hardship. Greater
thanks to my mother ( Grand
