"Enter ye in at the strait
gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth
to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat;
Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there
be that find it. Beware of false
prophets, which come to you
in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening
wolves.
Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes
of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit."
Matthew 7:13-17
With everything we've been
through, you are learning who
is friend and who is foe, who is
family, and who isn't, who has
their heart In the right place.
Keep a prayer in your heart,

for your family.
Love you, Mom

Keep traditional
life alive
To the editor:
To all of our people who arc of
spiritual heart and mind, and still
Irulylivc th traditional way, respect
ing that we be allowed a day at a time
on our land, that our great grand
mothers and grandfathers took care
of so many many years ago.
We are still able to go the the
ocean, great mountains and hear, sec,
and feci the cold waters of the great
rivers, creeks, and small streams. We
can still sec and hear, know also of
our family, the elk, fish, bison, birds,
deer, wolf, and bals eagle, the great
symbol of the American llag. We arc
natives of this land which our great
Golden Eagle looks down on us and
calls.
But now so many of us are now
being called, taken on spiritual wings,
lift and rise with the wind, but our
spirit and memories will forever re
main with our grandchildren.
In this day and age, our family
should hang on to this way of life,
now and always. A member of the
Yakama Nation.

Indians subject to discrimination
"For years Columbia river salmon
and stcelhead have been managed in
a way that has discriminated against
Indian fishers. The listing of upper
Columbia Basin stcelhead as endan
gered and Snake River stcelhead as
threatened is one more event in a
series thai stretches back at least on
hundred years which could deprive
tribes of their inherent, sovereign,
treaty reserved fishing rights." said
Ted Strong, l-xecutivedireclorof the
Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish
Commission.
Strong pointed out that if man
agement actions resorted naturally
spawning populations to healthy lev
els then both Indians and non-Indians
could fish. The tribes support
these of supplementation to help natu
rally spawning populations, restora
tion of natural river conditions by
modifying dams, and protection as
well as restoration of spawning and
rearing habitat.

When out in the world, I did bad things
To the Editor,
My name is Ron. I am writing this
to get something off my mind.
. A while back, an investigator came
by my mom's house, where I live, to
talk to me. I was told my him that I
had done something ugly to my
nephew. When I heard this, I just
could not believe it.
Well, anyway, I told him that I
didn't do it and that I was sure I
didn't. The nephew I'm talking about
is my favorite nephew. I always take
up for him no matter who made him
cry. I would never do anything to
harm him, ever, If anything, I spoil
him. Well, I was told that if I said I
did it, I would get sent away.
You know, when I was out in the
world, I have to say I did things I
shouldn't have. For this I would like
to say I'm sorry. I've been trying so
hard to stay sober. I have been sober
now, as of this letter, 797 days. I

"Those who know intimately the

Indians," he added. The recently
signed secretarial order calls forcon
sullation between the National Ma

such consultations.
Strong also pointed out the ap
parent double standard the federal
agency used to determine which
populations to list and which to de
fer or ignore. The Stale of Oregon
challenged NMFS' data in the lower
Columbia and on the Oregon coast
and NMF'S deferred the lisiing deci

family would be happy for me.
Instead, I was told by the investigator .
that they have had a lot of bad things
to say about me.
You know, when I have myself to
the Lord about two months ago, even
after being sober this long, a whole
new world opened up for me. Now,
because of this, my world is
crumbling down. You know I walked
with Satan for 22 years and now that
I am on the other side, he does not
like it. He will use any means he can
to bring me down. I was told by my
pastor that the hardest battles I will
have are not out there, but within my
own family.

good for myself. Not long ago, I got

myself, I wish I could just be let

two years ago, I told myself that I

Instead, I was always drinking, you
know I was a DRUNK. I embarrassed
myself and my family. I lost all
respect for myself. Nobody trusted
me because I stole to have my drink.
I wish these people I call my family
