The story of Rock Bear-
Rock Bear
Once upon a time there was a
Rock Dear, who lived on the hillside.
Rock Bear could not move, except
for his eyes, but he is always happy
because from his corner up on the
hillside he can see everybody that
goes by and he knows they are happy
' if they see him.
On a very stormy evening there
was thunder and lightning, when a
lightning bolt struck Rock Bear, it
was like a miracle because Rock Bear
started moving, he could walk and
roll.
Rock Bear's stomach was
growling, he was hungry. So, down
the hill went Rock Bear to the river at
White Horse Rapids where he swam
and caught his fill of delicious
rainbow trout.
Rock Bear then went up into the
high country to eat some tasty
huckleberries at High Rock and
across the Big River (The Columbia)
on up to Surprise Lakes in
Washington he ate berries. As he
went up a steep slope, Rock Bear
came upon Bigfoot who was also
eating huckleberries.
They became friends, they talked
and even played. They played "King
of the Hill." While wrestling, they
both tumbled together all the way to
Museum at Warm Springs receives grant
The Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS) and the
Heritage Preservation are pleased to
announce The Museum At Warm
Springs has been awarded a 1998
Conservation Assessment Program
(CAP) grant. Through on-site
consultation with a professional
conservator, the grant will enable
The Museum At Warm Springs to
evaluate its current collections care
policies, procedures and
. environmental conditions.
CAP assists museums in making
collections care and conversation a
fundamental priority of their
institutions. Diane Frankel, director
of IMLS, states, "I am very proud of
all that this program has
accomplished. It is a model public
private partnership that increases
access to museums' collections
across the country." Larry Reger,
president of Heritage Preservation,
said, "The Museum At Warm Springs
Chief Frank Queahpama chosen for leadership skills
To the editor, - '
I want to speak to our young
people. I want to tell you the truth as
I experienced it. I speak of my Father,
Frank Queahpama, Chief of the
Warm Springs Tribe. Many of you
have been told he was a religious
leader in our Longhouse. This is true.
But he was much more. His leadership
had many faces and our people grew
and gained many things that we still
enjoy today because of him.
Father was chosen by our family
elders and seated as a hereditary Chief
for his lifetime. His Grandfather
signed the Treaty of 1855. Father
was chosen for many leadership
skills, personal qualities and his
family support base. He was able to
read the ways of people. He chose to
be a responsible Chief by providing
traditional food and material goods
to all our people. He opened our
home to host weekly meetings. He
followed the example of his Brother
Henry who preceded him as Chief.
I remember as a child my Mother
Millie and all of us children following
an annual cycle of food gathering,
preserving and preparing for meals,
Feasts, Sunday services and the
ceremonies of our people. During
the weekly meetings in our home we
always served three meals a day. At
the larger meetings held in the
Longhouse, Father always used five
interpreters to consider the far
reaching questions in front of our
people. His ability to ponder the
motives, honesty and truth of the
interpretations helped him make
sound decisions. The checks and
balances he used was to assure the
decisions he made were for the benefit
for all our people. Under his
leadership our people adopted the

it was a tie, so, they finally went their

Rock Bear was happy but he was
homesick. He went back to his hillside
on the grade. It happened to be stormy
once again. So, Rock Bear stood in
his spot, just then another lightning

The Museum At Warm Springs is
located at 2189 Hwy. 26, Warm
Springs, OR, and specializes in
Native American Artifacts. It is open
from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. seven
days a week. The Museum At Warm
Springs is currently showing an
exhibition of The 5th Tribal Member
Art Show.
CAP provides funds for a general
conservation survey of the museums'
collections and sites. Conservation
priorities are identified by
professional conservators who spend
two days surveying the site and three
days writing a comprehensive report.
Reports produced by conservators
help museums develop long-term
plans for improved collections care.

Government; our Constitution and
By-Laws; and our Federal
Corporation chartered under the IRA
Act of June 18, 1934. Our roads,
schools and health care were started
with the help of his leadership.
Today the Chief doesn't have the
same strong support my Father had.
The leader(s) have become dependent
on the Tribal Government to provide
for the people. Our people have
followed these leaders' example and
are now dependent on the Tribal
Government. Our Chief must have
the will and want to give of himself
and have his Extended family's help
to carry out this responsibility.
I see our young people who don't
know how to gather and provide food
to support the Chief. My sisters and
I have always tried to carry on our
family legacy. I'm not a leader, but I
honor my family's station by
providing food and material goods to
the people of our Longhouse.
I stand by my extended family
line of succession for the Chief of the
Warm Springs Tribe decided in 1984.
On Monday, May 18, 1998 our .
extended family met and decided on
a new line of succession behind our
Sub Chief Calvin "Bumstead"
Queahpama. This is Sylvester "Sal"
Sahme, Sr., Rafeal Queahpama and
Vincent "Guy" Wallulatum. We also
decided on our next generation line
of succession. We choose the sons of
our Sub Chief and existing line of
succession. These are Oscar
Queahpama, W. Foster Sahme and
Kyle Queahpama.
The values and character of our
Chief must have many faces. Our
Queahpama family legacy taught us
that our Chiefs had these leadership
skills and qualities. Our religious
teaching provides the foundation and
strength. Our Chief must be a

Menopause: Put Yourself in Control
Bend-"Menopause: Put yourself
in Control" is the title of the second
in a series of four brunches sponsored
by the Oregon Commission for
Women and honorary co-chair
Sharon Kitzhaber. It is a
complimentary event for people in
Central Oregon who are interested in
hearing the latest information on
menopause and the accompanying
health risks.
The brunch will be held at the
Riverhouse on Saturday, June 20,
from 10:00 a.m. to approximately
1:00 p.m. Attendance for all
participants will be complimentary
thanks to a generous unrestricted
educational grant from Eli Lilly and
Company.
Speakers will give an overview of
menopause, discuss some of the
particular risks, and address the
psychological impact of menopause.
Menopause on the average occurs at
age 50. Therefore, a woman can
expect to live at least one-third of her
life after menopause. During this time
there is an increased threat of
cardiovascular disease, breast cancer,
osteoporosis, and possibly
Alzheimer's disease due to the loss
of estrogen.
Jan Hildreth will speak about
menopause and her experience with
women in the Bend area. She is a
family nurse practitioner at High
Lakes Health Care in Bend, Oregon.
