Seven-year-old girl wins mutton busting The 1 1 th annual Simnasho Mini-Marathon was held April 20 under partly cloudy and threatening skies. Mother Nature held the threat at bay as runners and spectators alike enjoyed nearly windless weather. It turned out to be a perfect day for a half-marathon.

Her dad Edison Is a champion wild horse racer and her ' mom Priscilla has seen the winning side of barrel racing a time or two. Her grandparents Earl and Rita Squiemphen are actively involved in the Warm Springs Rodeo Associa tion. Riding horses, going to rodeos and helping with livestock chores seem to come naturally to Terri Jo. So, it came as no surprise when Terri Jo climbed aboard a chest-high sheep at the Bull Bash in Portland's Rose Garden April 13. The lone girl among about 10 contestants, Terri Jo's first sheep "tipped over" and she was allowed a reride. In her second ride, Terri Jo showed her spunk, with one hand raised over her head and a huge smile on her face. Taking first place, Terri Jo outrode all other com petitors, being the only one to not lose her seat atop her woolly ride. Her efforts earned her a score of 87 and a big, shiny silver buckle. Terri Jo also was able to collect the auto graphs of world class bull riders such as Michael Gaffney, Tuff Hedeman and Kirk Wakefield. (Hedeman won the bull bash with a two-day score of 180.) Proud Dad Edison says that once the audience discovered Terri Jo was a girl, they went wild. Terri Jo blushes with embarrassment. Terri Jo is a first grader in Russell Keizer's class at Warm Springs El ementary. She had perfect attendance last year and has missed only one day this year so far. She has been named Student of the Month and an All-Star at WSE. Terri Jo has a quarter-horse, Bubs, which she uses in barrel rac ing. Terri Jo is going to put her skill to use at yet another rodeo in July in Elko, Nevada. Good goin tough girl !

Victoria site of fourth Indigenous Games Terri Jo Squiemphen-Yazzie proudly wears buckle she won at Bull Bash April 13. The North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) are the largest sporting cultural gathering of indigenous people in North America. In 1997, the NAIG will be held in Victoria, British Columbia and over 6,000 aboriginal athletes will join in the pursuit of excellence in six spectacular days of sport and culture. The cultural component of the fourth NAIG will be equally as powerful with over 6,000 aboriginal cultural performers demonstrating the power and strength of their artistic gifts at many sites during the 1997 Games. Young indigenous athletes from First Nations will compete in 16 sporting events. The Games are patterned after the Olympic Games, but also include traditional sports such as salish war canoe racing, hoop dancing, lahal stick, and bone games, futsal, and Arctic Sports. One of the goals of the games is to get more young native athletes into the Olympic Games. The Aboriginal SportsRecreation Association of British Columbia, through a bid process, was awarded the opportunity to host the 1 997 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG), the largest gathering of Indigenous athletes and cultural people in North America. These bi annual Games are in their fourth year. The first ones in 1990 were in Edmonton, Alberta. The second in Prince Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the third one was in Blaine, Minnesota. The numbers have grown from 3,000 athletes in Edmonton to 8.000 in Blaine. The 1997 Victoria NAIG committees are planning to coordinate 16sportsfor6,000athletes (twice the number of athletes of the fourth Victoria Commonwealth Games) Programs are also being developed for over 6,000 cultural performers to be a very strong and essential part of the Games. The purpose and goal of these Games are to provide a forum for aboriginal youth to display their athletic talents, who for a variety of reasons, would otherwise not have this positive experience. By showcasing aboriginal youth in sporting events and cultural programs, along with strong role model program, we hope to enhance the process of rising self esteem and provide short term goals for aboriginal youth to excel through the world of sport. We are well aware of the healing power of sports and culture and we hope to alleviate youth social problems such as alcohol and drug use and suicide, through the discipline of sports and culture. The NAIG includes the participation of aboriginal Nations all across North America. In the 1 995 NAIG, 5,000 of the athletes were from Canada and Team Saskatchewan won the overall North American medal count. The focus of these Games is national and international and all marketing and communication strategies are aimed at stressing this national focus. Warm Springs tribal member Susan Guerin is en vol ved with NAIG and is a NAIG council member. Guerin states, "these Games must happen and will happen! The future of our youth and through them the future and destiny of our people depend on disciplines such as sport and culture to speed up the healing process which aboriginal people across North America are undergoing." Guerin, feels confident that native people from Warm Springs and all across the U. S have the talent and people resources to deliver the "best NAIG Games ever" but it will take the "commitment and support and partnership of all Tribes to ensure that these Games reach and fulfill their potential." The Indigenous Games begin August 3-10 1997 and will be held in Victoria, British Columbia.
