for the Dalles Mural Committee as a

Cultural Fishing Consultant for the
High Desert Museum voluntarily.
His decision to accept this position
was, "Most recently working at the
museum I could see some of the
need, even though I didn't work
directly handling artifacts or crafts. I
noticed a need for documentation
and history of these items or crafts. I
thought that this department would
be where I could help. I have hopes
of doing this type of thing,
transcribing oral history. Our elders
,are passing on. In a few more years
Somebody might be calling me and
elder and that's scary. Because the
history that elders know is
' disappearing. The biggest reason is I

partment, Oregon National Guard,
and the Warm Springs Police De
partment. A rash of recent vehicle thefts and
vandalism has plagued the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and the Warm Springs
Tribe. The most recent of the thefts
occurred Friday morning April 30th
when three All Terrain Vehiclefs
(ATV) were stolen from the BIA
compound on Holliday Way. Two of
the ATV's belonged to the BIA and
one belonged to the Water and Soil
Department. Two juvenile suspects
were arrested after a short pursuit
along Tommie Street. At least one
more suspect is at large.
On Sunday April 25, 1999
Officer's and Detective's responded
to The Indian Health Services ve
hicle compound after a BIA Jeep was
stolen. Suspect's entered the com
pound and attempted to start at least
three of the Jeep's, causing damage
to the ignition and steering columns
of the vehicles. After starting one of
the vehicles, the suspects caused se
vere damage to the compound when
they drove the Jeep through the front
gate.
On Tuesday , April 27th, 1999
The Jeep was recovered in a remote

May 20, at 4 p.m. at the Community
Center.
Members of the interdisciplinary
team that worked on the plan will
explain the goals, objectives, stan
dards and best management prac

major issues.
Comments will be taken from
tribal members during the meetings,
which will account for the plan's
final review before it is presented to

hope to help adding this
documentation into our history. And
the little things that we take for
granted, like washing machines, years
ago how did they do it? Even cloth
for sewing, where did they get these
things? Expand on these stories, get
comments on elders. Get their
perspectives on things like this. Sights
need to be documented on
Huckleberry fields. I hope that I could
add to and keep programs going,"
says Palmer.
The Culture and Heritage staff
consists of nine employees with
limited duration consultants helping
out with language classes. They are
Shirley Tufti for Paiute language,
Gladys Thompson and Madeline
Mclnturff as Wasco consultants.
Culture and Heritage is planning
and budgeting to develop other
programs they would like to teach,
history on the reservation, crafts,
fishing, and putting these types of
cultural knowledge in text form for
teaching.
In the first week at Culture and
Heritage Palmer has been reading
and learning more about the office
and their budget. He has also received
assistance of employees that have
been working there and is thankful to
them for their assistance in
welcoming him and answering his
questions and explaining the
: operations of their office.
! area of the Reservation. The interior
i of the Jeep suffered extensive dam
; age when it was set on fire. At least
; one of the suspects in this case should
have a laceration due to being cut by
razor wire while entering the com
pound. Detectivefs found blood at
the scene which will help in the in
vestigation. These thefts come only weeks
after almost identical thefts which
cost the tribe thousands of dollars. A
Jeep was stolen from the IHS com
pound a few months ago and recov
1 ered in The Dalles area by the Or
egon State Police and Wasco County
Sheriff's Office. A few weeks ago
juveniles stole two ATV's from BIA
Fire Management. The recent ATV
theft involves some of the same ju
venile suspects. Two of the juvenile
suspects remained in custody for the
weekend.
These type of senseless acts im
pact the Tribes and the community
in several ways. Replacing and re
pairing these vehicles places a mon
etary burden on the Tribes and the
, departments which are victims. The
' loss of these vehicles impacts the
community by a reduced level of
service. The recent Jeep theft from
: IHS impacts the community in a very
negative way. The vehicle provided
the community health nurse trans
portation to make home visits, tak
ing care ot the sick and elderly.
The Warm Springs Investigations
Division continues to investigate and
arrests are expected in the near fu
turin the early morning hours of Sun
day, May 2, 1999 Sylvester Sahme
Jr. walked into the Warm Springs
Police Department bleeding from two
stab wounds. Mr. Sahme was trans
ported to Mountain View Hospital
by ambulance, where he was treated
and released.
Officer's responded to 4 1 1 0 Miller
Heights where they arrested Ken
neth Sahme, the victim's brother, for
the stabbing. Detective's were called
out to both the scene and the hospital
to investigate the incident.
Kenneth Sahme was held in the
Warm Springs Correctional Facility
pending a hearing on Monday, May
3, 1999.

What type of business would you
like to see in Simnasho?
(Jiv.it it... . . a--
Dennis Thompson, "I would
like to see a retail business that
will offer groceries, video's, and
a gas station. This type of
business is really needed for
Simnasho's residents who have to
travel so far just for their basic
necessities."
Venus Walsey Strong, "I'd
like to see something build in
Simnasho that is going to be of
service for the elderly people who
live there. They need a closer
service station for fuel, a store for
their shopping needs with
activities for the local young
people. The young people need
an educational area where they
can hang out and learn or just
play games without being
bothered. We definitely need
better care for our older people
who have to live so far away."
Beatrice Scott, "Simnasho
residents need a gas station, and
they also need a store. It s just
too far for Simnasho people to
travel up towards Walter's
I Corner, Wapinitia, or down to
Warm Springs and the Madras
I area to pick their everyday basic
needs. I think the Simnasho area
has been isolated long enough"
Emerson Squiemphen, "I
could see a store and deli there
with a gas station and an arcade
for the young people. Another
good idea would be a laundry mat
tor people who can t atrord to
buy a washer and a dryer. It will
save Simnasho people money on
gas having these facilities around
instead of traveling all the way to
Warm Springs. Many of the
elders and community members
are unable to drive and have to
depend on someone to do the
driving for them. Once in the
Warm Springs area, some people
decide to travel all the way to
Madras for other necessities"

Martha Winishut, "I think
the Simnasho area would be the
place for a recreational building.
A place where people could come
play stick games or other type of
entertainment and not have to
spend massive bucks to enjoy
themselves. Indian Stick Games,
have become popular in the
Yakima area where people come
from other reservations to play.
It's not only a lot of fun, but the
whole family can participate
during special events that would
include the young people as well
as the older one's."
r
Clint Smith, "I'd like to see a
grocery store build in Simnasho.
We have many community
members who live there and it's
kind of an inconvenience to have
to travel down to Warm Springs
just to buy their basic needs. It
will also be a convenience for
tourist who travel to the resort
during the Summer months."
Mike Clements, "If they
could get more people to move
back to Simnasho, there should
be some kind of manufacturing
facility. A store with a gas station
would help by creating employ
ment and also encourage people
to move back and live there
again."
Irene Towe, "I'd like to see a
grocery store with a gas station
build in the Simnasho area.
Simnasho people have a long
ways to travel just to put gas in
their gas tanks or buy their
groceries."
Sandra Main, "Well since
Simnasho is an isolated area I
think what would work best is
something with a little bit of
everything. A gas station and
store combination with maybe a
snack bar and a small arcade for
all young people to enjoy."
