I would like to Indian dance and after rejoining at Great Gramoo Bugga Bca's memorial last month, I can dance again. The first thing I plan to do if adopted, would be to participate in the Lil Miss Warm Springs Pageant with my sister. Being a member of a feder ally recognized tribe would make me proud. Please vote yes for Muirinn Janae Adams-Guijosa and I will make you proudl Jake Buffalo Horse Eastman I am writing this letter to give my reason for wanting to be enrolled with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. My name is Jake Buffalo Horse Eastman, my Indian name is Tatanka Shunka Kan, "Buffalo Horse." My mother's name is ; Roberta Kirk or H'klumiat and my father's name is Daniel "Rocky" Eastman. My maternal grandparents are Lolita Greeley and Oliver Kirk Sr. My paternal grandparents arc Devere "Brave Buffalo" Eastman and Lorraine High Pine. I am Warm Springs, Wasco, Dine' and Lakota. I have always lived with my mother's side of the family and have lived at Warm Springs for most of my life. I have learned the ways of the Longhouse and know how to dance the Washat. I have learned how to drum and sing Washat songs and have drummed at Simnasho, Cclilo and Rock Creek Longhouses. I have participated in Medicine Dances. Our sweathouse is open to family and the community. I had my "first kill" ceremony for my first deer yaamash at Chief Wallulatum's Medicine Singing Lodge when I was a young man. I also caught my first salmon around that same time. I know the different roots. On my father's side I have gone to Sundances and ceremonies since I was an infant. I want to be enrolled with Warm Springs because I have lived here for most of my life and I want to raise my family here. I have a daughter, Tashina Luta Winyan (Red Shawl Woman) Eastman and I want to teach her the ways of the Longhouse and the roots as well as picking huckleberries and choke cherries. My mother and I sing Washat songs to my daughter all the time so she can start knowing the songs. I would like to be able to hunt and fish here at Warm Springs so I can provide for my family and I would like to be able to fish for salmon on the Columbia River, N'chi Waana. I feel I would be an asset to Warm Springs as I know the ways of the Longhouse and our culture and I would be able to pass these ways on to our future genera tions. I was enrolled with the Rose bud Lakota Tribe but I have termi nated my enrollment with them because I know I will never live there. I want to be enrolled at Warm Springs as this has always been my home and will continue to be my home for the rest of my life. Thank you for voting for me!

Because of a relapse my daughters were separated and forced to live with their fathers. After completing treatment I remained in Bellingham, Washington to teach at Northwest Indian Col lege, and earned a Masters of Education degree at WWU. In 1998, 1 was able to care for them but my daughter, Kira, who was born here chose to remain with her friends, culture and family, and graduate at Madras High School. At MHS she was an honor student and lettered athlete, she's in her second year at Western Oregon University, continuing the same legacy. According to Vital Statistics there was a mistake made of the number of years Kira's been a resident, it was printed in the September 20 issue of the Spilyay Tymoo and on the 2il Roxanne Chinook and Kayla Casey ' ballot, 3 years, when in fact ' she's lived here for T0: years.''
