To the editor, I'm a vendordealer who is inter ested in selling Native American Art. I'm looking for a wide variety of items, such as, beaded work, mocca sins, jewelry, paintings, woodwork ing, canoes, dream catcher's, totem poles, bowsarrows, traditional tools, baskets, blankets, pottery, etc... I sell solely on the net. This would give your ArtistsCraftsman worldwide exposure. My storefront will consist of an Art Supply store, and Gallery. I will be selling a full line of non toxic, and traditional Art supplies as well as photography equipment and supplies. I am interested in serving indi viduals who would not normally be able to afford to sell their work else where. I'm an Artist myself and I know how much museumsgift shops take from your profit. As well as, what they expect (framed works, etc.). I would be willing to serve ArtistsCraftsman who have made it, if they make it personal practice to give back to the people. I know that there are a lot of wealthy Artists out there, who give nothing back. If any individual member'sof your tribe would be interested in doing business with me, please have them contact me. I will need to get some type of proof, that the items they want to sell, are authentic Native American works. Via a Trademark or ID which proves they are a mem ber of your tribe. I will also need some type of photo image of the work they want to sell (photographs, CD picture disk, catalog, etc.), so that I can upload the images into my storefront. It's up to each individual ArtistCraftsman, how they want to present their products to the world. As far at the quality of the images that they present to me are concerned.

Web site customers must follow the same rules as campers who reserve sites via a telephone call to Reservations Northwest.

A reservation deposit (equal to the first nights rent plus a non refundable $6 reservation fee) is required at the time the reservation is made. Both Visa and Master Card are accepted.

Thanks for help To the editor, I was required to write a brief history of the Wasco people for an American Indian History Class at Arizona State University during the fall semester.

Talking with kids about alcohol," a program to help parents and other adult supervisors prevent illegal underage drinking. The resolution was approved on October 23 at NCAI's 55th annual session in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ready or Not is a community program of The Century Council, in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The Council is a national organization that fights alcohol abuse and is funded by America's leading distillers. "We are pleased to endorse Ready or Not, which addresses an issue of concern to all of us," said W. Ron Allen, president of the NCAI. "We welcome the creation of this culturally sensitive program and will work with the Council to make Ready or Not available to American Indian and Alaska Native communities across the country." In addition to NCAI, 1964 Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills has joined to support the program. Mills taped a special introduction to the Ready or Not video and is featured in Ready or Not radio and television public service messages being distributed nationally by the Council. Growing up on the Pine Ridge Reservation, I saw first hand the tragic effects of alcohol abuse among our young people," said Mills, who founded Running Strong for American Indian Youth. "As parents, as role models, we need to help our children make the right decisions. Ready or Not provides tools to help us accomplish this challenging task." The Ready or Not program includes a video and informational materials which can be used at home or in workshops for adults. The video features realistic interviews with kids and child psychologists, along with true-to-life scenarios that help adults talk with kids about alcohol. A toll free number (800-624-9575) is available to concerned individuals and organizations who wish to participate in Ready or Not. The program is provided free of charge by The Century Council. In 1996, The Source: A Boys & Girls Club located on the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation and home to the Sisseton-Wahpeton band of Dakota-speaking Sioux, approached The Century Council to adapt the program for the American Indian community. The adaptation was developed with input from local community and Boys & Girls Club leaders and pays close attention to cultural relevance and appropriateness. "We are pleased to have led the creation of a culturally sensitive version ot Keaay or Wot to serve the needs of American Indian communities," said Lisa Campbell, executive director of The Source. "Ready or Not can play an important part in community efforts to help prevent underage drinking problems and ensure ourchildren are safe, sober and healthy." In addition to the original and American Indian versions, Ready or Not is also available in a Spanish language version, as well as a captioned version for the hearing impaired, the latter produced through efforts of Catholic Big Brothers. "This partnership is a good example of how organizations can work together to solve community problems," said John C. Lawn, chairman of The Century Council and former administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. "The American Indian version of Ready or Not is innovative. We are pleased to support its creation and help make it available as a free resource." Ready or Not, w hich was launched nationally in November 1995, is endorsed by more than 40 members of Congress. The program is also supported by a number of national organizations, including National School Boards Association, National Middle School Association, National Education Association and International Association of Chiefs or Police. The National Congress of. American Indians (NCAI), founded in 1944, is the oldest, largest and most representative national Indian " organization serving the needs of a : broad membership of American Indian and Alaska Native governments. Their founding members stressed the need for unity and cooperation among tribal governments and people for the security and protection of treaty and sovereign rights. Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a national network of approximately 1,900 neighborhood-based facilities annually serving more than 2.5 ' million young people, primarily from disadvantaged circumstances. In . addition to drug and alcohol prevention, Boys & Girls Clubs programs emphasize educational achievement, career exploration, health and fitness, gang and violence prevention, cultural enrichment, leadership development and community service. The Century Council is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing drunk driving and underage drinking problems. Founded in 1991, the Council is funded by America's leading distillers.
