Muirinnjanae Adams-Guijosa
Dear Eligible Voters,
My name it Muirinn Janac Adams
Guijosa. I'm 3 yearn old and necking to
become an adopted member of the
Warm Springs Tribal Memlcrship. My
mom is Alicia Adams, although most
people know her by her outgrown
nickname "F.ppi." My gramma is
Myrtle Adams and my Great
"Gramoo" is the late Beatrice Scott
Winishut, known to me as Bugga Bca.
My great grandfather was the late
Caleb Adams. I would like to be
adopted into this community because
this is the place that I will always call
home. 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!

Kira Langnese and Kayla
Casey
To the People of Warm
Springs:
My enrolled name is
Roxannc Langnesc-Chinook, I
am the great, great grand
daughter of Billy Chinook.
My grandmother was Jeanettc
Brunoe, my mother, Lupe
Samuels. Two of my daugh
ters, Kira Langnese (age 19)
and Kayla Casey (age 12) are
up for adoption. I moved back
to my reservation with my
' " f ' Y

i-.i..flffliff I.
Kira Langnese
daughters after graduating
from college in 1991. I
bought a home and raised
them here until 1997.
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.'' '"
My daughter, Kayla was one
year old when I moved home
in 1991, her childhood roots '
and love for her heritage and '
culture is embedded in Warm '
Springs. I am very proud of my '
heritage and embraced it in my
artwork and spirit, which I've '
passed down to my daughters.
Thank you and God Bless.
