V.
Shawaway: Helped found Lincoln's Powwow
(Continued from page 1)
Earlier this month Nettie Shawaway
turned 102 years old.
Her friends and relatives used this
remarkable occasion to pay tribute to'
Mrs. Shawaway, the longest-living el
der of the Confederated Tribes.
"She has touched many of our
lives," said Neda Wesley, Mrs.
Shawaway's niece, who organized and
cooked at the birthday celebration. "I
feel very wealthy for the things I've
learned," she said.
Wesley often visits Mrs. Shawaway
at High Lookee Lodge. The two speak
in their Native language. Wesley said
that Ms. Shawaway attributes her long
life to eating traditional foods.
Wesley is one of many tribal mem
bers who appreciate the knowledge that
Ms. Shawaway has shared over the past
many years. As an example of this sen
timent, the following is a statement
made by Anna Clements about Ms.
Shawaway at the recent birthday cel
ebration: "I want to honor, celebrate and pay
tribute to a great lady. She was my
mentor, my relative and teacher iti In

The Deschutes plan outlines meth

notes that if the numbers are exceeded
the least restrictive methods of achiev
ing compliance should be utilized first.
I lowcvcr, provisions for implementing
more restrictive measures are clearly
spelled out in the plan, should they be
come necessary.

Nettie was a founder of the
Lincoln's Birthday Powwow. "She al
ways provided food to feed the guests,"
said Clements.
To this day the generosity that Nettie
and her sisters showed for the early
Lincoln's Birthday Powwows continues
to help this annual event, said
Clements. "From their generosity way
back, we have a running balance for
the powwow," she said.
Besides all of this, Ms. Shawaway
also adopted and took in many young
children, raising them as her own.
Netue was born 102 years ago, on
Nov. 3. Her father was Frank
Queahpama and her mother, Skwi
cmpt, whose English name was Swan
or Millie, according to an earlier article
published in Spilytiy Tymoo.
At the time when she was born,
Nettie's mother had just traveled from
Simnasho to Warm Springs. The trip
was made to buy some matches, oil,
coffee and sugar at the Warm Springs
store.
During this journey, Nettie's mother
began feeling ill. They stopped at the
1993) to avoid the need to implement
a permit system," states the plan, which
later adds, "Any instance where daily
use targets are not met for two con
secutive years will indicate more restric
tive measures are required."
The basis for a permit system is
plainly defined within the plan and ac
cording to tribal representatives the
time for action is long overdue, espe
cially in light of Segment 1 goals that
call for moderate use above Trout
Creek and only occasional encounters
with other users between Trout Creek
and the lacked Gate.

home of Joseph and Susan Papaluits
at Tenino, where Nettie was born. She
was one of seven children. Growing
up she traveled by horse and wagon.
At age 7 she started school at Simnasho.
Later, she attended the Warm Springs
boarding school, and then to Chemawa
Indian School.
After school she lived in Pendleton
for about four years. When she moved
back home to Warm Springs she
worked at cooking, cleaning and wash
ing for a woman named Mrs.
Willowdalc.
Then in 1939 she married William
McCorkle, and that same year adopted
Johnny and Betty Lou George. She
then worked at the Warm Springs clinic,
eventually working in the kitchen for
$600 per month.
She also worked at the boarding
school. I ler second marriage was to
Alba Shawaway, of Vakama.
They made their home in Yakama.
Nettie moved back to Warm Springs
in 1968, after Alba passed away.

Anger: often
comes from
unmet needs
(Continued from page 1)
It is necessary for young chil
dren to have an adult in their lives
with the ability to do this. People
from abusive, neglectful or oppres
sive environments usually don't
have the ability to attach words to
their anger or emotions.
The healthier approach is for a
person to attach attach words to
the anger, and then identify what is
needed to resolve it. The needs can
be physical, emotional, safety, aes
thetic or self-actualization.
When these needs are not met
in a person's life, the person can
become really mad.
This person will then stay mad
until choices are made to meet
these needs.
What is your anger trying to say,
and how powerful is it?

number of boaters is because we're
looking out for resources," said
Brunoe. "We want to know what kind

and currently it's unknown."
Guides and some public officials
argue a permit system is not necessary
because fish, wildlife, vegetation and
other valuable resources have actually
been enhanced in recent years. They
also say many guides will go out of busi

affecting local economies, particularly

bowling
tourney
Nov. 28-30
By Austin Greene
Tournament Director
The Warm Springs Indian Holi
day Bowling Tournament Commit
tee would like to extend an invita
tion to tribal members to come and
participate in the 26th Annual All
Indian Holiday Bowling Tourna
ment. The event will happen Thursday
through Saturday, Nov. 28-30, at
Lava Lanes in Bend.
Last year we went to just mixed
teams, rather than men-women's, and
we had more interest and a better
payout to those winning teams, so
we will just keep it that way this year.
We will offer three divisions in
the Y.A.B.A. tournament, as 41 par
ticipants showed they will be the ones
to contend in the future. The much
anticipated "Holiday Roll-Off" is the
event that should draw bowlers to
participate, as the winners in both
men and women receive wool jack
ets and cash.
High qualifiers will receive beaded
bowling pins for their efforts. The
stepladder finals will be held on Sat
urday for those respective divisions
of the Roll-Off. A$10 entry fee will
make you eligible for your three se
ries scores for this event.
Masters events will be broken
down to three men's and three
women's divisions based on partici
pation, and the Senior Division too.
The committee has added $100 ad
ditional cash to each of these events
for places one through four.
The Red Lion Motor Inn of
Bend this year again will be the host
hotel, and is located close to Lava
Lanes. Room rates of $55 plus tax
is the agreement with this luxurious
motor inn.
All reservations should be made
by Nov. 21, and don't forget to men
tion the Warm Springs Holiday BowK
ing Tournament for this room of
fer. Contact the Red Lion at 1-800-RED-LION,
or 382-7011.
Wynn Malakowski, owneropera
tor of Lava Lanes, is willing to of
fer us the entire house of 32 lanes
to fill. We certainly hope you can
include us in your tournament sched
ule this year.
From our family (committee) to
yours, we will feast on Turkey Day
with full course meal provided to all
participants and their families, so
come on and please join us. For more
information, call me at 553-1953,
or at work, 553-3243.

ism, and rafting in particular, provide
a substantial portion of annual revenues
for many businesses.
Tribal representatives don't think a
permit system will have any devastat
ing effects on the regional economy,
nor do they believe the plan should be
altered just to accommodate the in
crease in boater use.
"Even if you rould prove there's no
impact to resources, we would still have
to deal with the social issue," said
Brunoe. "It then becomes a matter of
how many boats you want to sec drift
ing past the reservation."
