Funding from this grant will be provided to train tribal members and to other tribal groups within the geographical area served by the Meyer Memorial Trust. The Meyer Memorial Trust Grant will help The Museum continue it's work on this pictograph project. In 1994, the National Park Service awarded The Museum $50,000 for Phase II of this project which pro vided support to identify and photo graph 55 public sites. There is ur gency in time to document the picto graphs as many are being vandalized through writing or painting on them, some are destroyed through progress due to construction of roads, dams, buildings, and homes. Pictograph sites that are easily accessible by the public are at highest risk to being vandalized, or even destroyed, e.g. people try to chip the designs off to take them. The Museum At Warm Springs is located at 2189 Highway 26, and specializes in the artifacts and his tory of The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. The Changing Ex hibit Gallery hosts local, and na tional art too.

The Interior secretary has a limited au thority to take newly acquired lands into trust for gaming purposes, after consultation with the Indian tribe and local officials, and a determination that the gaming establishment would be in the best interests of the tribe and its members and not be detrimental to the surrounding community. Even then, the tribe can proceed only if the state's governor concurs with the Interior secretary's deci sion. Editor's note: Information taken from The Oregonian and The Bulletin.

I have lost out on a lot of things such as education, Jobs, cars, a home and I thought I was having the best time of my life. I even almost lost my life in a alcohol related accident. I don't think that counseling, treatment, antabuse, or anything could have brought me out of my habit. One day I gave my life to our Lord the Creator and it was then that I lost the desire to do all the bad things that I have done to myself and other people. I took a look at how I missed out on a lot of the peace and happiness of real life. I do not like what alcohol does to our reservation and I pray that one day everybody will find a religion whether it is Gospel, Washut, Shaker, Presbyte rian, Medicine, or Baptist. When Jesus comes I do not want to fall short of the glory. I want to be rising up to Heaven with Jesus and be able to see my loved ones that have gone on. I would like to thank my grand mother, my mom, and my aunts Chris and Lola for their spit itual guidance. Most of all I thank the Lord for bringing my child into the world to really open my eyes. This was hard for me to bring out but I hope that I have touched at least one person with my personal testimony so that you can also find this peace and happiness that I have found." Mayanne Catherine Aguilar, (IS) "My most difficult habits I've overcome was cussing, temper fits, lying, and stealing. I haven't really done a lot of bad habits in the world, but I have had a hard time in my house-hold ever since I was little girl. The Lord has changed it all around by touching my family. It started with myself then my sisters, so I started praying for my whole family and the Creator has blessed me with a lot of things in my life. The Creator has even turned my dad's life around. All the way around! I believe that the Lord's going to touch my mother also. So I encourage ev eryone to seek God the Creator and it will make your life a whole lot better!" Anson Begay, "I would have to say chewing tobacco. Seemed like I always had a can or pouch of chew close by. I started at an early age with the hard stuff (Copenhagen), I think I was only a single digit old. When I got in High School I lived with Buck and Suzi Smith. We would go out and chase horses, what seemed like every night. There was nothing else to do while waiting for those horses to come so we would be constantly chewing. Sometimes Jason Smith and I would be chewing Beechnut and Skoal at the same time. Those days are past now and I'm in a position with my current job where I talk with young children about the dangers of tobacco and their ingredients. Chewing tabacco was a habit for me. As for the degree of difficulty, it was as easy as I made it to be. Remember some habits come with excuses, some don't! Angela Polk, " The most difficult obstacle I have overcome the past 5 years is to let gossip by-pass me. I have learned not to worry about what some community members say about me or my family. All I want to do is live my own life the way I want to live it, and not worry about what other people think and say about me." '? " ' . 1 s i . y - ' ' Annette Leclaire, "My most difficult habit I'm trying to overcome is alcohol. Because of alcohol, I al most took my own life by trying to commit suicide. When alcohol is in my life, I always seem to hurt the ones 1 loved most. I hope that by not being around alcohol I can deal bet ter with the loss of my father who past away two years ago. I would like to say to all users that drugs and alcohol are not the answer." ,0m 4'" Robert Pawelek, "I currently face a most arduous challenge-that of saying good-bye to Tabacco. Nico tine was a 25-year habit that con trolled my life. Ouitting is easy if you can stay clear away from people for the first four or five months. That way your disposition won't demol ish a friendship." Irene Boise, (14) "The most dif ficult habits in my life I have over come was fighting, cussing, lying, stealing and just doing bad things. When I accepted the Lord into my life, he went right to work! I en courage all youth to seek God because he's a wonderful blessing and he could make wonderful miracles. May the good Lord bless you all"
