4 May 21, 1998 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: Vie way it is . if Well we can sit back and I T 0 relax for a few moments now that the new Tribal Council members have been installed into office. We have a new Chairmen, a new Vice Chairmen, and a new Secretary Treasurer. Let's hope things will work out the way we would like them to. It's a tough job to undertake loaded with heavy responsibilities. We must move on with what we have one thing at a time and not get left too far out of the modern world. Times change and new methods are always coming in and we have to be ready to meet those things. Yep! The days of the Ole Horse 'N' Buggy, have long gone out and we have to catch up with the new world. We;;, we had a lot of promises made by all the candidates before election so now we must sit back and see if they will fall into place. I still say on that pile of priorities, our most important one is the protection of our treaty we have with the United States Government . The treaty of 1855, we have to continue to make progress in what ever venture we set out in. Improve our enterprises such as the Indian Head Gaming, WSFPI, Kah-Nee-Ta Resort, and all the other programs we have going for us. We still have many things of value that is worth working with and hopefully our Tribal Council will do well while in office. Rodeo's, Rodeo's and more Rodeo's It's May and a lot of things happen during the month of May. Mainly the out door sports as the weather warms up after that long winter. One of the biggest event all across the country is in the rodeo arena. The first rodeo for the Indian Cowboy's is the Tygh Ridge All-Indian rodeo. A replica of the old All-Indian rodeo of old in Tygh Valley, which was a big hit for years and years until just recently the committee disbanded or something. This year a few good people got together and started planning an All Indian Rodeo, trying to bring back the rodeo in that area once again. The group that put on the rodeo disbanded and started fading away, but with the hard work of a few good people the rodeo might become a top draw once again. "It's Rodeo time," As the grand'entry comes into the arena and usually there is band music over the sound system, and with the horses in the bucking chutes for the first section of bareback ; riding you can hear the racket of horses kicking the chute gates ; with a big bang. The rider putting his rigging on the horse and the I flank man putting the flank on the horse which spooks him and ' makes him jump and kick and really acts up. Usually in the bareback a young cowboy maybe making his first rodeo, a little nervous when his horse acts up. As he sets his rigging his hand trembling a little with butter flies in his stomach, tries to swallow but there is nothing to swallow, just a big lump in his throat and his heart beating a lot harder than usual. Finally the chute boss comes by and gives the command, "Alight men, chinch-um down." As soon as the grand entry clears the arena we will start at chute 8 and on down. Be ready when your turn comes or we'll turn your stock out. Even though the cowboy , may have been practicing before the rodeo he is still a bit nervous , as he watches the guys come out ahead of him. Finally it;s his turn and he straddles his mount in the chute, takes a deep breath and with a trembling hand he grabs hold of his rigging, a big lump in his throat, gets all set and shouts, "Let's have him men!" The chute gate fliles open and you can hear the horse grunt snort and as he jumps out and your high in the air you feel that sensation of greatness as yous sit atop of the jumping,; lunging bucking horse, you see the ground than the horse snaps your head and you see the blue sky, ground and sky, ground and sky, tiyr feet up over the points of the horses shoulders trying to make as many points to score high on that lusty mount hoping to get into some of that day money. On his first mount he usually gets bucked off or manages to hang on to make the ride. After he is on the ground and walking back to the chute, he thinks, "that was not bad at all." He is hooked on rodeos. Some guys want to become rodeo cowboys but their rodeoing comes to a quick halt especially when they really get bucked off real hard and are injured. Rodeoing is one of the roughest sports in the world today and everyone must expect to get hurt in the rodeo game. Yep! Everybody has bitten the dust at one time or another while rodeoing. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON!!! Member unhappy over Jr. Rodeo To the editor, nated money so we could write them I'm writing this letter to tell you how we got the shaft from last year's Jr. Rodeo (I was the Jr. Rodeo secre tary and the late Nadine Scott was the Treasurer). After we had the Ro deo, Sammi wouldn't call a meeting to tell us how much money we made. In a telephone conversation a month after the rodeo, Sammi said there is no Jr. Rodeo anymore, it's her & Clint's Rodeo Association. We know we made over a thou sand dollars, I know that let alone late Nadine being the treasurer thought her name should be on there in a bank with both their names but Sammi dealed with all the money. She wouldn't give us a list who do- Thanks to all To the editor, I would like to take this time to say thank you to: Keith Moody & Victor Moses for their cash dona tion; Alvis Smith Sr., Effie Culpus, Rita Squiemphen, Kate Jackson, Noreen & Fern, Aurolyn Wahlamet, Hilda Culpus, Ursula Little, Lizzie Rhoan, Neda Wesley, Eliza Brown, Suzie Smith Moody, Charlotte Herkshan, Paulette Hawley & Toni Tail, Nola Queahpama, Crystal Scott, Mr. Elston & Juanita who made the flower boutonnieres along with Vernita & Carmela, making bouton nieres also.

We tried to ask Sammi for money to have a Kid's Rodeo during Huck leberry Feast.
