Seven dancers take whirlwind tour of
Europe November 7 to December 9.
The Spirit Walker dance group left for Europe November 7
and returned to Warm Springs December 9. Their 33-day tour
took them to Hungary, Germany, Belgium, Lie Netherlands
and Macedonia.
Talent agent of the Spirit Walker Dance Group, Denny
Herman, received many reauests to bring the dance group
back to Europe to perform. Their tour was memorable, as they
met people from Central Oregon and Indians from other
reservations.
Group members were Joe Tuckta, leader, traditional dancer
and eagle dancer, Sandra Greene-Sampson, jingle dancer,
Leona Ike, traditional dancer, Lena Ike, fancy dancer, Eldred
Heath, grass dancer, James Teeman, fancy dancer and hoop
dancer and Greg Arquette, drummer.
Tuckta, said people who saw their performance said it was
the best show they had ever seen, and that they had never
seen anything like it. They performed for children and adults
in groups anywhere from 30 to 600. Their largest audience
was in Skopjie Macedonia where their performance was
televised. They received many standing ovations on their
tour.
Joe says, "Many of the troops have seen Indians in movies,
but never in a performance of Indian dancing. They felt it was
the best performance Department of Defense sent them."
There "ere three High Priests and nuns who saw the
signing of the Lord's Prayer by Lena Ike-Edwards and it
brought tears to their eyes. They were touched by it.
Herman is working on another tour for Spirit Walker
Dance Group to return to Europe. There were many soldiers
that missed their performance and would like another chance
to see them.
Upon arrival in Budapest the group was experiencing
"jetlag," before their three- or four-hour bus ride to their
destination. Their first performance was boring and after
receiving tips from a friend it received many cheers and
standing ovations.
In Hungary everything from the mess hall to sleeping
quarters was in tents, says Greene, "It was like a scene out of
M.A.S.H."
Their tour began in Hungary, the city of art and sculptures,
where they did three shows from November 9-11 in Kopisvar,
Taszar and a show for Life Support Aide, where it was
televised all over Europe.
While in Hungary they met Indians from other reservations
and Joe Hogge, of Madras. Hogge went to higi. school with
dancers in the group. While at the base Hogge drives tanks.
He offered the Spirit Walker group a chance to see Army
tanks inside and out.
They also met Kassai Lojos, who lives the traditional

Hungarian ways, in tents. The family owned ten horses and did their hunting on horseback. Spirit
Walker was invited to a hunting expedition with Lojos. Unfortunately, their tour schedule would not
allow this to happen.
They also were allowed to see the communication headquarters, after being checked for firearms and
cameras before entering.
From Hungary, the group flew to Germany where they toured for three weeks -Preiberg, Darmstadt,
Weisbaden, Kaiserslauten, lllesheim, Barton, Katterback, Augsberg, Bad Abling, Bamberg, Heidelberg
and Bad Kruznach. They performed at schools and bases.
"Preiberg is the base where Elvis Presley was based," Sandra Greene remembers.
While in Germany the group met a teacher, originally from Gresham, Oregon, who asked them to
perform at her school. There were transportation problems co the the children were disappointed that
they didn't get to see the show.
They went sightseeing in Germany also. During this time they saw beautiful, ancient castles.
On November 28 the group traveled to Belgium and then to the Netherlands and back to Germany.
While in the Netherlands they met an Indian lady named Salina Roberts, who invited them into their
home to cook dumplings and foods they missed from home.
Their last city was Skopiie where they presented three performances. Their first night was for an
orphanage; the second night at the base and the third night was for the American Embassy which was

The Housins Department has over
$154,000 in accounts receivable in
"vacated" accounts for those who
rented a Tribal unit. In the past the
Housing Department has had very
little success in collecting on these
accounts. These "vacated accounts"
have been maintained on the books
for several years and will continue to
be there. The Housing Department
continues to mail out monthly state
ments to the last address we have on
file however, a number of statements
are returned undclivcrable. The de
partment will be submitting a list of
those people who have "vacated ac
counts" to the Spilyay Tymoo for
publication. If all else fails, the Hous
ing Department will be left with no
option but to file the proper paper
work with the Tribal Court in order
to collect on these old accounts.
