To The Editor:
It is the way of the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs to join the
U.S. Armed Forces, to test
ourselves, like our Indian Scouts
did 137 years ago. Most of us
Warm Springs native people
volunteered for the U.S. Armed
Forces, to face our fears, to carry
out any and all orders given by our
commanders.
A few years back I suffered all
the pain and suffering similar to
Agent Orange, I lost half my body
weight. I was on my death bed, just
an ugly bag of skin and bones,
hooked up to all the life support
machines to keep me ticking, my
penny you spent, may you be blessed death song was being sung at the
a hundred fold. You make it all worth Tnfjian lonehouse. I welcomed
couragement & support. Thank you
mom, for the great words you bring
out to our young people.
To all the people who came and
supported the tournament, tor every
it. We hope you enjoyed the games
God Bless you.
To all the children who partici
pated in the tournament, who attended
the ball games, and who attended the
dance Friday & Saturday night.
Thank you so very much for your
respectful manners. You kids con
ducted yourself so well. It made me
feel so good to see everyone in good
spirits, happy having fun, just on a
natural high. We really do this for
you & we want you to do good things
with your lives. We care and we're
here for you. God Bless all the chil
dren. Native Gospel Posse-You were
wonderful & stepped out with
warrior's spirit to tell about God
bringing you out of drug andor alco
hol addiction. Keep up the good work.
May God Bless you even more thari
he already has.
Thank you and May God Bless
you Alwaysj

death at the time because I lived a
good life and was given a fine
young son to carry life on. The
good doctors could not do any
thing to bring my health back. They
discharged me from their care and
sent me home to die in peace.
In desperation, my family
requested the spirituality healing
of the 19 10 Indian Shaker Church,
the Longhouse Seven Drummers
and Dreamers washuts and the
Indian Medicine Dance Indian
Doctors, as well as 500 plus people
jreying for me. With all the good
wwerful Indian medicine healing,
was granted a second lease on
ife and have made near total
recovery. 'THANKS
EVERYONE!"
Today I work as a job specialist
job coach for my "Rez People." I
love this job and love the people I
work with. Each day is handled by
prayer, helping other VETS by
reaching out to them, the best I
can. Most times my VETS feel
like they are out in the world alone.
I can feel the same suffering and
nightmares. The VETS come to
see me for job training assistance.
I am not close to being a doctor; I
am just and Old Soldier like them.
Most times, they will not talk to
anyone but a fellow VET; they lay
bare their feelings they have held
inside for the past 25 years or
more. "They cry, we cry," because
it hurts. This is good because we
are good U.S. Veterans, solders
warriors or swabbys. We VETS
try to stay on this side of the line
between Sanity and Insanity. This
is where we believe to be the true
"Indian Warrior."
Veterans' telling me their
stories relieves a lot of pressure
for them. The Great Spirit is the
only one who can correct what
Indian Veierans are suffering. In
our hearts, we need the GREAT
SPIRIT! Not all the VA hospitals,
the psychiatric visits, can see the
needs of our Indian Veterans. A
"simple"' not to educated
renegade Indian, job coach like
me can reach these VETS, because
we are on the same level in life.
I beat Death with the GREAT
SPIRIT walking beside me. I slip,
I stagger, and I stumble. I make
my work supervisor unhappy. She
has it in mind for me to retire. The
good GREAT SPIRIT grabs hold
of me and straightens me back up,
to better serve my people.
All I want in life is to make
people happy! Be good to me,
respect me, and shake my hand
like a good sport. Do not let me
feel like I am evil and good for
nothing. Give me all the dignity I
can handle! The GREAT SPIRIT
has worked with me, has given
me strength, has taken darn good
care of me, and has let me return
to a good life of working to help
people in need.
Sincerely
Hamilton Greeley

"I was spit on and called a
baby-killer in the mainstream
culture when 1 first came home,
and no way any college would
accept me or any good job would
be open to me. I felt too ashamed
and enraged to accept the love
and gratitude my family and
community showed me. I thought
I was going crazy, waking up in a
sweat trying to choke my wife,
seeing signs of Charley around
every corner when the weather
was hot and steamy. I'd always
kept my feelings to myself, but
now I didn't seem to have any
feelings except anger. I couldn't
get through a day without getting
into a fight, and when I tried to
numb the pain with alcohol I just
got more angry and out of control.
I left my wife and kids because I
was ashamed and afraid of what I
was doing to them, but I miss
them still I've had more jobs than
I can count, and I walked out on
every one because I'd start to feel
trapped. I really never left
Vietnam until just a couple of
years ago after I got sober in a
program, and then I felt I had to
either go back to my tribe and go
through the healing ceremonies
or I was going to kill myself. I'm
finally beginning to come home,
with the help of a Vet Center
counselor and the Blessing Way
in my community."
The Long Journey Home
Many veterans are unable to
leave behind the trauma of
Vietnam and psychologically
return home. They struggle with a
variety of extremely severe
problems that neither they nor their
families, friends, or communities
knew how to understand or cope
with.
Fears (such as of closed
spaces, crowds, unfamiliar places,
or sudden attack); Anxiety
(such as restlessness, obsessive
worries, compulsive rituals);
Panic (such as a terror of losing
control, suffocating, or going
crazy); Depression (such as
hopelessness, loss of all interests,
or suicidal impulses); Rage, in
the form of either intense violent
emotions and violent actions;
Irritability (such as feeling
constantly annoyed, on edge, and
critical); Shame (such as
feeling embarrassed, exposed,
violated, or like a misfit); Guilt
(such as feeling others should have
lived and he should have died, or
feeling that he failed or made
mistakes that had terrible
consequences); Isolation (such
as being physically present but
emotionally absent, or going off
alone for long periods of time, or
refusing to talk about family
matters); Emotional emptiness
(such as staring off into space
blankly or refusing to show any
feelings when everyone else is
very emotional); Alienation
(such as feeling that no one
understands or that everyone
makes too much fuss about
unimportant things and too little
about big problems); Over
controlling (such as being
extremely demanding or needing
to make all decisions even if
they're really someone else's
responsibility); Unable to
relax (such as always being on the
go, never able to have fun, or
making every thing into serious
work or a crisis); Addiction
(such as compulsive overuse of
alcohol, drugs, or gambling);

National Timber
Symposium continued from
page 2
manager of Finance and Natural Re
sources, Doug McClelland, were try
ing to develop this concept in the
mid-1970s when they attended a
meeting on forest management
hosted by the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs in Gallup, New Mexico. The
meeting was informative, but Smith
and McClelland thought the format
needed to be expanded to include
additional agencies and members of
the private sector.
Back at home Smith spearheaded
an effort to formulate a regional com
mittee with members of the Warm
Springs, Yakama, Quinalt and Neah
Bay tribes. All of the tribes were
facing similar problems and issues
related to forest management, and all
stood to benefit by gathering infor
mation from outside sources.
"We thought it would be great to
have something every year and we
decided to hold the first symposium
in Seattle," said Smith. "The first
meeting was rather informal, but it
went really well and when we asked
the people who attended if they would
like to organize, the response was
pretty much unanimous."
The Intertribal Timber Council
was formed soon thereafter and in
the years that followed it grew from
humble beginnings to a project of
national scope. Tribes from through
out the United States took notice and
quickly realized there was something
to be gained through an exchange of
information regarding sustainable
forestry, integrated resources plan
ning, timber industry trends and the
latest technologies.
"It started with a few Northwest
tribes with an interest in timber man
agement and grew from there," said
Smith. "We went out to find quality
people who could talk about issues
on the front burner for everyone and
the interest continued to grow."
Smith became the first ITC presi
dent and held that position until 1981
when he was called to Washington
D.C to serve as assistant secretary of
Indian Affairs for the Interior De
partment. In addition to summoning
experts in the field of forest manage
ment. Smith said a key to the success
of ITC and its annual symposium
was to involve tribal managers, com
mittees and councils in the discus
sion, which placed participants at all
levels of forest management on com
mon ground.
"We brought people who work in
forestry day to day together with
decision-makers," said Smith. "It
became a place to educate people
about resources and how to better
manage them."
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pre-symposium activities begin on
Sunday, April 1 1 with golf and slot
tournaments and an icebreaker so
cial in the lodge. Workshops are fea
tured the following day and cover
topics relevant to modern-day forest
management, including the highly
technical forest vegetation simula
tor, forest inventories, and road engi
neering. Cost for the workshops is
$99 per session.

sentative to any of the workshops or
