Wolfman named
Love you son, 1 1 lot Shot" of
year 2000
To all of you, The Team of
Warm Springs Interagency I lot Shots,
This mother and family of
"Wolfman" would like to say how we
feel for Wolf and all Hot Shots
throughout Indian Country. Like he
says, he and the team couldn't do it
without the teamwork, training, and
leadership of the whole team.
Takes us back. Wolf has been
with the team since he was 18 years
young as a lot of the team, like their
leader Luther. You try something
else, but know your calling, and come
back. It's where everyone is family.
You are all family to us.
Like I say, we spent a lot of time
on our knees, when you are all out
there wherever, from Alaska to
Mexico, east to west. I, for one, was
touched with the letter from the
gentleman from New Mexico (June
issue). I could see them working as a
team, like soldiers, doing the job they
are trained to do.
One time I was shown photos of
flames and son. The boys told me,
"never worry of Wolf he is trained to
do a job, he is good at it." To name a
few that there, are brothers like, Gary,
Mark and Frank. They have their call
ing, knowing them they will be there
forever. They know us and are always
welcome in our homes. When you see

Salmon Corps
January2001
The Earth Conservation Corps'
(ECC) award-winning Salmon Corps
will begin the 2001 program year in
January. The program year will con
clude in mid-November 2001.
Salmon Corps program years
had previously begun in October and
ended in August. This change is in
response to our partners request for '
services during planting periods in
September. Because of this change,
Salmon Corps will not be available
for service between the months of
September- December 2000.
"We, as an organization, have an
opportunity to evaluate how we've
served the community during the past
six years," said Charles F. Sams III,
Northwest Director. "We will be fo
cusing on building a stronger pro
gram that continues to meet the needs
of the environment and communities
we serve."
Salmon Corps began in 1994
with a goal of energizing Native
American young adults ( 1 8-25 years
old) to repair the disappearing
salmon habitats of the Columbia
River Basin. This approach fulfills
ECC's mission of reclaiming two of
the country's most threatened re
sources: the environment and our dis
advantaged young people.

World AIDS Day
December 1, 2000
What Is World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day is a day bring
ing messages of compassion, hope,
solidarity and understanding about
AIDS to every Indian reservation and
to every country in the world, North
and South, East and West. Since De
cember 1, 1 988 World AIDS Day has
a special place in history of the pan
demic. What prompted this extraordi
nary response? World AIDS Day
emerged from the call by the World
Summit of Ministers of Health on
Programmers for AIDS Prevention in
January 1988 to open channels of
communication, strengthen the ex
change of information and experi
ence, and forge a spirit of social tol
erance. Since then, World AIDS Day
has received the support of the World
1 lealth Assembly, the United Nations
system and governments, communi
ties and individuals around the world.
Each year, it is the only international
day of coordinated action against
AIDS. Each year there is a theme cho
Warriors of yesteryear to the
present on display
As w e look far back into the past,
what comes to the mind is the vision
of the past reaching into the present
of our warrior past. The quiet, coura
geous strength of those gone on
reaching out to us through the war
riors of today. The old time warriors
live on with us through their descen
dants and are heard through the voices
of the young men and woman who
follow in their footsteps.
In their honor the Indian Health
Service Administrative staff have
gathered photographs and placed
them for public viewing in the Ad
ministrative waiting room and recep
tion room of the Health and Wellness
Center.
This is the time to show our ap
preciation and honor to the men and
woman who have served in the armed
services of this great nation.
The photograph display is to cel
ebrate the indomitable spirit of our
people, also to acknowledge the pain

sen for World AIDS Day. the theme
for the 13 Annual World AIDS Day
(2000) is:
AIDS: Men make i difference
The purpose of this theme is to
recognize the millions of young men
world-wide who arc alTected-directly
and indirectly by HIVAIDS.
HIVAIDS: Deadly but
avoidable.
AIDS it's a chilling disease that
has already taken the lives of thou
sands of people including Native
Americans. You may be w orried and
confused by the rumors and half
truths that surround AIDS (acquired
immune deficiency syndrome) and
the virus that causes it HIV (human
immunodeficiency virus). But, you
are far from powerless against HIV
infection and AIDS. In fact, once you
understand how I II V infection is
transmitted, you can learn and prac
tice behaviors that lower your risk of
coming into contact with the virus.
If you or someone you know
would like to receive the Red Cross
ing HIV education please contact the
CHET program staff at 553-4922 to
set up an education class.
