Fry Bread Legend, was written by

Wellness diabetes program.)
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.

Do not forsake me o' my darling
Yo O way ya hey ye ye
1 le was too late
No Ears had already proposed
Big Ears also asked for her hand in
marriage.
She had a decision to make:
Which one?
Big Ears or No Ears?
She couldn't decide
So she asked her friends,
Which one?
Big Ears or No Ears?
They couldn't decide
So she asked her Mom
Which one?
Big Ears or No Ears?
Mom couldn't decide
She asked Gramma
Which one?
Big liars or No liars?

Hello out there! I wish I had some
thing explosive and mind expanding
to relate you guy's. But... no I guess
not.
Just don't weaken, and tomorrow's
another day. I'm over here in a desert

Enough is enough
Attention Tribal Members and
Tribal Council,
When is our tribe going to learn
that we (tribal members) are getting
and other wishes

live a long-long healthy life?
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..

He pinched a little piece of dough
off and tossed it gently
Into the pan, as the dough danced
to the surface,
He knew the temperature was just
right.
As he patted the second fry bread,
The aroma hit the People,
Their mouths began to water
When he lifted the last Fry bread
from the pan,
Gramma was slobbering.
Big Ears was declared the winner,
No Ears had to leave.
He took his burnt fry bread and

You are missed
My brother Dann Chavez was
loved and is missed by a lot of people,
most especially me, my son, my dad
Herb Graybael, my mom Earlyne
Squiemphen, his big family, wife,
daughter.
, My brother and I were very close.
I remember growing up, he enjoyed
spending time with his grandparents
Earl and Rita Squiemphen. He would
always smile and say "hi" to anyone
he knew. The funniest thing about
my brother was he would be listen
ing to his favorite CD, the Selena
soundtrack in his car, loud as the vol
ume would go.

headed up the hill
As Gramma shed a tear, she said
No Ears won't live long - high
cholesterol,
Fast food and 49crs are gonna get
him.
No Ears stopped at the top of the
hill
As his Pony lowered his head, he
sang one last song:
Whey whey whey i yaw hey, bey yaw
aye wah yaw
Whey whey whey i yaw hey, hey yaw
O way yaw haw yaw
Whey yaw haw, Whey yaw haw, yaw
She don't love me anymore,
Cause I didn't use Canola.
I don't care I'll find another one.
Whey yaw haw, whey yaw haw,
yaw.
Big Ears and his bride shared a
healthy, happy life together.
For a long long time!
