Lillian Kanine Hoptowit Lillian Kanine Hoptowit, "Chow-e-se-pum," of Cayusc, died on July 13 at Yakima Medical Center after a traffic accident. She was 80. Mrs. Hoptowit was born Sept. 15, 1922, at Gibbon Forks, Wash, in a teepee to parents Rosaline Wilson Tashwick and John Kanine. She was raised by her maternal grandmother "Chow-e-se-pum," and lived on the Umatilla Reservation her entire life. She lived the traditional life taught to her by her grandmother. She gathered roots and picked berries and prepared food for the winter. She practiced the traditional Washat belief which teaches the value of life on this earth and caring for oneself, family and the Earth that takes care of us all. She married Anthony Gilbert Hoptowit and together they had 13 children, one whom died at birth. She was elected to the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla Indian Reservation Board of Trustees, serving from 1968 1970. She served one term on the board because she felt that was sufficient time for her due to family responsibili ties. She was instrumental in starting a newsletter for on- and off-reservation tribal members to keep them informed of what was happening in their tribe. She also proposed and implemented a fish and wildlife committee in order to address the big-game being killed on the reservation by the non-Indians. She advocated for tribal shares for set net fishing on the Columbia River. She also fished the Columbia with Jier hus band. She fished at Cclilo Falls before The Dalles Dam was built in 1956. She was a cultural language specialist for her tribe, teaching the Walla Walla language. There were 23 In dian children in her last Cay-Uma-Wa language session on July 9, 2003, at Mission.
