was the paiute chief, Nick Kalama.
Moses' grandmother's father was
Secretary Treasurer during the
writing of the Constitution and By
Laws for the tribe. Kathleen married
Oscar Moses whose mother was
Susan Moses "Kussa".
She is mostly Paiute and has some
Wasco and Warm Springs blood but
to her, it doesn't matter. "The tribes
have their own culture and the
cultures that are here-the Warm
Springs culture. It's been so long
since we became a Confederated
Tribe, yet there is so much conflict
caused by distinguishing descent,"
she says.
"My grandma used to tell me
stories about boarding school-that's
where she met Lindy, my
grandparents adopted Lindy, not
legally but they adopted her," says
Jocelyn. She was just there all the
time as Kathleen's best friend.
"That's good for me because Lindy 's
still here and she comes to visit me,"
she says.
Moses is employed through Work
Experience as a Nutrition Apprentice.
She works with the Nutrition
Department doing.WIC certification
for pregnant, post partum women
and children through the age of five.
She also works with the Head Start
Program doing tracking sheets

not sure because it may cost too much.
She will be earning college credits
toward a four year degree while living
at home.
Her career choice is to be a
Nutritionist and her goal is to be
employed at the new Senior Citizens
Assisted Living Center. There are a
lot of opportunities for her in the
Nutrition field. She may be able to
obtain employment in various
facilities where nutrition is
important-day care centers, health
facility, treatment center, schools or
jails.
While going to school she worked
various odd jobs she changed her
major and started working at a nursing
home. She received hands-on training
and continued to take classes and
became a Certified Nurses Assistant.
She worked at the clinic and hospital
in Toppenish, Washington.
She used a lot of this knowledge
when her grandmother, Kathleen
Moses, was ill. She was a diabetic
and had health problems. "Diabetes
is one of the highest causes of illnes
here and it's things like that that
geared me toward my career choice,"
says Moses.
Moses received her application
for Miss Warm Springs in the mail
and it sat there for about a week. "I
wasn't asked or pressured to run for
Miss Warm Springs. One day I just
decided to fill out the application,"
says Moses.
During the pageant she competed
against Luanne Foltz. They answered
questions and presented talents both
modern and traditional.

SNUFFIE SMITH: My goal for
1998 is to establish a closer rela
tionship w ith the lord and to be able
to succeed with the family business
at Deschutes Crossing Restaurant.
For her modern talent she didn't
know what she would do because she
does so many things there was no
specific talent. She compromised and
did a lot of things. Her first talent was
the wapas bags she learned to make
while growing up. She then showed
some crafts she learned in the 4-H
program-fabric picture frames,
painting on squares of fabric or
embroidered fabric. She showed her
knowledge of doll making and quilt
making-full size and baby. Then she
spoke of her cooking skills and the
Healthy Lifestyles cooking class
offered at the Health and Wellness
Center.
Her talent as a painter was brought
up next. She was the owner of
painting company Paiute Painting
Express. She painted the Power
Enterprise building, Kah-Nee-Ta
Lodge entrance, some local houses
and houses on the Yakama
Reservation.
Moses then showed her talent as a
basketball player and coach. She
helped coach a girls basketball team
for the Indigenous Games in Canada.
It was hard keeping the girls
interested because it was during the
summer and other activities were
being offered. Moses was proud of
the girls that stuck with it and
achieved something for themselves.
Moses feels youth want to get old
too fast. "The don't realize what it's
like to not worry, kids can't be worry
free like they used to be. Drugs and
alcohol are a big problem for them
now, more than it ever was." Moses
says.

for 1998 is to live to see 1999.
"My traditional talent was a legend
told by my grandma Lindy," says
Moses. It was a Paiute legend, "How
the Racoon got His Black Mask and
Stripes." Her cousins helped her, Jake
was a tree, Susan and Marissa were
the coyote and raccoon.
Luann taught her neice and
nephew sign language to "Go My
Son," in one day. She also made a
baby board and shared information
about the baby board.
"This pageant brought my family
together to help me. I was glad they
supported me. I also received support
from my friend who was Miss
Yakama Nation 1996. She made me
feel confident in myself," said Moses.
After traditional talent they danced
the circle dance and traditional dance
one at a time. "They really put the
pressure on," she smiles. She is very
competitive and goal oriented.
"When I set out to do something I'll
do something."
"I'm interested in all kinds of
issues," Moses goes on to say,
"People should voice their opinion
in a positive way just so people will
realize that you know what's going
on. I don't like it when people are
talking at you but when people talk
with you. Sometimes it does need to
be that way but not always. People
need to know what you're trying to
say and to see what's on the other
side of the issues."
"I was told I will be attending
Education Conferences throughout
the year. I'm looking forward to that.
I'm interested in what's going on

Issues in the Tribal organization are
big for me. I keep myself informed,"
Moses says.
In the past five years so much has

back here from school she couldn't
even get a job at a gas station. She
never imagined that she would have
so many opportunities for herself.
"I am really thankful and proud
that Kathleen is my grandma. When
she used to work at the clinic I used
to think I wanted to do that someday.
She was an MCH at the old clinic.
She was a big influence on me and
that's why I help people. Elders used
to come and stay at our house and she
used to take care of them. They would
let us know how much they
appreciated it. People take their health
for granted. Ten years from no w your
health may not allow you to bounce
right back.
"In my life I learned to be
appreciative and thankful. Learned
to be responsible for finances. You
will not always win the money for
your bills.
"Family values are important to
me. My sisters and I may argue but
we will always be sisters. An
argument is just an argument.
"I believe in myself and I know I
will try my best to represent my tribe.
I didn't have the confidence when I
applied that I'd win. I'm going to try
my hardest, if that isn't enough, then
that's not enough. What I have is
