Many many moons ago there was a beautiful Indian Princess who had a boyfriend named Big Ears. I le was off hunting with the men. She went to a Pow Wow and ended up at the 49er where she met No Ears. He was singing a song and it went like this: Whey ay hey yo, Whey aye yo hey yo, Whey ay yo h-e-y Yo 0 Hiya, Wheyya haw, whey ya haw, yaw. I'm from Warm Springs, Oregon, got no one for my own, So 1 come here looking for yon Haw Yaw If you'll be my honey, I will be your sugar. Haw Yaw. Whey yaw haw, Whey yaw haw, yaw. She couldn't get that song off her mind She fell in LOVE The hunting party headed home Big Ears leading the way would've been a lot less if I didn't run. My own fault. When you earn the trust of the judge, don't ruin it as I have. I lost two years of my freedom for it. Anyway, I'm sorry to have to read about my aunts passing on. My con dolences. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you. I send you my prayers and I sang a few Washut songs for you and myself. It makes me real sad to have to read about all the violence going on at home. I can only think that it's all alcohol and drugs plus the lack of dis cipline. I've personally seen all the loss of respect from the younger generations. All the talking back and smartie re marks you made got you what you deserved in my day. I had to learn the hard way more that a few times, that was more than enough for me. A word to the younger generation, don't do drugs or alcohol. Respect your elders, return to the longhouse. Don't get lost along the way. Always remember where we came from. Don't follow my tracks, you really don't want to be where I'm at! Be lieve me you don't. Everybody take care and I'll do the same. Henry Stwyer, aka Shmink T.R.C.I.

Yes Gramma she answered. Grandmother said, There is only one way to setde this. We'll have a Fry Bread Contest. Whoever makes the best healthy Fry Bread wins. All the people gathered Two tables were set up Two fires were built Every ingredient was brought No Ears ran to his table Threw his ingredients in a bowl The people could barely see him as Flour, salt and baking powder flew everywhere He put too much water in I lis grease was burning I Ic poured his dough into the fry ing pan Big Ears took his time. He was patient, kindhcartcd, relaxed and fo cused. He mixed two kinds of flour, tired and fed up of people ripping our reservation off? When are we (tribal members) go ing to put our foot down and say (stop) this stealing our funds (monies)? Let's stop this and start putting our foot down and start charging these people who rip our tribal funds away from us. We (tribal members) are losing a lot of money and have to stop it and say that's enough tribal member or non-tribal member, you're going to be charged and punished. You did the crime you'll do the time! Enough is enough! Let's stop this thief and start charg ing them, no more slap on the hand and rewarding them by giving them a different job or replacing them with a different job. If you don't do anything about this we'll start electing different council members who will. No more cover up - no more lies. We vote for you to do something instead of putting it on a pile and say we'll look at this later and we'll get back to it later. You hired them take the credit for your mistake for once. We're going to check on people dipping into different departments and playing with our budget and put ting it back. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Lloyd G. Smith Jr..
