Inspired by the 10th anniversary of the 1987 book by Charles F. Wilkinson, American Indians. Time, and the, Ljw, the conference will focus on the status of tribal sovereignty. In his book, Professor Wilkinson provided a spirited defense of tribal sover eignty and the status of tribes as separate governmental and territo rial entities in the U.S. constitutional system. Based on a detail study of Supreme Court decisions, he con cluded that tribes had achieved at least some stability in their "historic task of creating workable islands of Inianncss within the larger society." Professor Wilkinson, the Moses Lasky Professor of the Law at the university of Colorado, will be the featured speaker at the October con ference. He and other notable schol ars and practitioners in the Indian law field will explore judicial and legislative developments over the last ten years to assess the current status of tribal sovereignty.

We sit on :the edge of summer and wait upon the winds of fall to appear. I want to .speak about the issue of drinking and ;guns.,This summer,.was a. tune of guns. Guns havelways been a tool of the reservation. A good hunter knows his gun and how to use it and .care for it. , A gun is the ultimate way to throw j a rock at a deer for winter meat. Yet what purpose is a gun to a person who is drinking and is having drunk thoughts of anger, power, jealousy. What purpose is it to throw the ulti mate rock down the barrel of a gun at a moving car, into a house or just up in the air. Where will the rock come to rest? , Is the anger given final satisfac tion? Is power fed enough? Is the fire of jealousy put out and moped up? !! REWARD !!

The emotions of a human being can never be satisfied with the use of a gun or a can of beer. This is temporary act that pulls down a hu man being and not helps in any way to' build up. ' r As a pastorcounselor I am a stu dent of understanding human beings and of God. I also know after 16 years as a pastorcounselor that when all ways of positive actions seem to not help and negative actions seem to be more inviting, it is time to let the Creator create in me the new and better parts of being a human being that will allow positive actions to have positive effects on my life. That is the definition of Spirituality: To let God be God in my life....Let God be God for you ....see you in church. Rev. Rick R.

Neighborhood Watch can be helpful Crime and fear of crime threaten a community's well-being, people be come afraid to use streets and parks, suspicious erupts between young and old. Crime in turn feeds on the social isolation it creates. Today's lifestyles, many homes where both parents work, more single parent families, and greater job mobility, can con tribute to this isolation and weaken communities. You and your neighbors can pre vent or break this vicious cycle, and in the process, build your commu nity into a safer, friendlier, and more caring place to live. Statistics tell the story. Police and sheriffs' depart ments throughout the country report substantial decreases in crime and fear due to local crime prevention efforts.

I want to express my gratitude towards Raymond Calica, Antone Fuentes, Robert Sam Jr., Andrew Smith and Vernon Suppah for agreeing to run on our team on such short notice. They really came through for us when we needed them. Last but not least I want to acknowledge those team members who hung in there from the start(last August) Orvie Danzuka, Emerson Miller, Doris Rose, Mary Stennfcld, Chet and Becky VanPcl t Jr. I really appreciate you guys hanging in there even when things got hectic and it seemed like we would not ever have a full roster. Thank you foryour help in recruiting runners, getting a van and keeping me somewhat sane. Everyone did a fantastic job and I hope everyone will run in the Hood to Coast next year! I'll be in touch. P.S. If anyone wants to order a team picture please contact me or Chet & Becky, so I can send you an order form. Laurie S. Danzuka, Team Captain Healthy Indian women are the backbone of healthy Indian Families. Take Care of Yourself! Women are the backbone of the family! What does that mean for your family ? This special "saying" was developed to let the women in our Indian communities know ho w important they are to their families and to our communities. It is also a way to let women know that we appreciate all the time and energy they put into taking care of their families. And as part of a family I want to thank my mother, sister, aunt and grandmother for all that they have done for me. I also want to tell them that it is "OK" to take time fcr themselves. Part of taking time foryourself means taking care of your health. Think about the last time you went to the clinic for your own health. I know you have spent a lot of time taking the kids to the clinic. Now it is time for you. Go to the clinic and get a physical, get your women 's health check, get your teeth checked. I want you to be healthy for a long time. So go ahead - Take Care of Yourself!
