The 4th of July. ..the 1 T g
Declaration of Independence
that was signed in Philadelphia
on July 4, 1776, laid down the
principles which have been the
foundation stones of human
progress ever since. ..the truths
w hich the Continental Congress
declared to be self-evident,
although, somehow, most of the
world had failed to take notice
of them. The Declaration
established, and the world
steadily followed the statement,
"that all men arc created equal
and that they arc endowed with
such unalienable rights as life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The Declaration of Independence did not merely signed the
birth of American freedom and American self-government, It
marked the birth of freedom as an international idea. It was the
inspiration for democratic movements on other continents. It
raised the torch of liberty and kindled an undying flame.
The American flag, the red white and blue, the stars and stripes,
Old Glory. Men all across the nation are willing to put their lives
on the line to protect our nation under these colors. The birth of a
new nation and independence where a term used by Abraham
Lincoln, "All men are created equal," there was thought that there
could be some debate on that phrase. But Abraham Lincoln was the
President who freed all the slaves.
Many times it appears that we take this day for granted without
the thought of why it was set forth. We take the day as just a
holiday, a day away from the office or work place.. A day of
leisure, or a day just to do nothing. Yep! there is a great deal of
meaning to this day of the 4th of July, if a person would only sit and
think about it.
Around Indian country many look to going to pow-wows as a
way to celebrate this day. Participate in contest dancing in all
catagories of Indian dancing. On the fourth of July, there are all
kinds of functions across the country. There are rodeos many travel
to, where some do this for a living, traveling from rodeo to rodeo
all summer long and way into the winter months.
In the olden days there used to be fireworks stands all around the
country, where live fireworks were sold. In them days when it was
legal there never seemed to be any fires because all the kids knew

Grandfather is
where to set off the fireworks. Today they proclaimed them illegal 9 rate I U I
to use across the country here in Oregon but still live fireworks are
available to the youngsters. Because they are illegal kids try to hide
the use of them setting them off in dangerous places and that what
starts fires.
On the day of the fourth of July here in Warm Springs there will
be a parade on the Campus to the grounds behind the Community
Center with a color guard made up of local Veterans. There will be
people afoot, horseback, on bikes and floats. The parade will form
near the grade school and make it's way through the campus area
and finally ending at the grounds behind the Community Center.
After the parade there will be a Bear Bar-Be-Que, with all the
trimmings, Umm, a mouth watering dish, although I've never tried
the Bear Bar-Be-Que before, but it sounds good, Guess I'm just a
Salmon eater. In the afternoon while the Bear is settling there will
be games played on the field, fun games for everyone who wants
to get into the action of things. There will be the Tug-Of-War, the
Pole Race, Three legged race, and many other games like the egg
toss and stuff.
It will be a fun packed after noon and as dusk fall all over the
place there will be the big fireworks display.
This has been a tradition for years and years here in Warm
Springs, the Bear Bar-Be-Que, a fireworks display and the fun
games every fourth of July. Ahh-Nah-Chi-Toon!!!!
To the editor,
A grateful grandfather, my grand
son Raymond Anderson, second old
est of my son Gifford Anderson. Who
was chosen, I believe of his God
gifted ability to do his best in what
ever he attempts and this included
sports. Those of you who know him
I would say he has a great personal
ity, good sense of humor and as far as
I know, well-liked by many. His trip
to the Republic of China has proven
this. Our families with this Great
Spirit, we are born with are capable
of doing this. With your help, I am
grateful.
Remembering all Respectfully,
Paul Temueus Anderson

To the editor,
We the family of Lily Ann Moses
do appreciate all of the people who
have supported us in this one year of
mourning. The list is endless and if
we forget anyone of those who sup
ported us throughout this time of loss
please forgive us. We definitely want
to thank all of you who have taken
the time or a part of this process. She
will be greatly missed by all of the
family and friends who have shared
one or several memorable occasions
with her and we know that she will
always be in our hearts forever.
I want to thank all (hose people,
elders, family members who have
shared words of encouragement to
us individually or as a whole. The
preparation for this type of ceremony
of memorial activity is very time
consuming and does take much work
and planning. I thank GOD for mak
ing this time available for all us to be
appreciative for those who had taken
the time to being there and those who
couldn't make it for the memorial. I
thank GOD for those people who
have shared their songs, words that
could soothe one's soul and keep all
of us to head in the right direction of
life. We thank all of the people who
have donated items for the give-away
and especially the people who had
prepared the wonderful, fulfilling
meals.
This following list is only short
and I know there were many others
who had helped in this time of need
and support, but we all appreciate
these people for helping in every
way.
