Twenty-five years ago this week From the April 15, 1979 edition of Spilyay Tymoo Sally Rhoan is Miss Warm Springs Out of a field of three 18-year-olds, Sally Rhoan was elected the new Miss Warm Springs, during a special pageant and powwow at the Agency Longhouse on Saturday, April 7. Sally is the daughter of Lyle and Arlita Rhoan. It was apparent that holding the pageant at the longhouse and combining with a powwow made the selection of Miss Warm Springs seem more of a com munity affair than in previous years. An estimated 200 people were present. Affiliated Tribes meet at Ft. Hall The reservation setting for the spring conference of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians April 4-6 was a "first" for the veteran organization. The dramatic dome room of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes' new business center on the Ft. Hall Reservation in Idaho proved to be a fitting backdrop for the Affiliated Tribes' theme of, "Rights, Survival and Unity." That theme was also under scored by the impressive turn out of tribal delegates. For the first time in five years, the spring conference boasted a quorum of member tribes, making it possible for 18 resolutions to be passed. In less than two hours, the 22 tribes present passed resolu tions ranging from health and education to the honoring of a past commissioner. Local girl Miss Celilo Wyam Carroll Johnson, 16, of Warm Springs was crowned Miss Celilo Wyam on Sunday, April 8, at the annual Celilo Salmon Feast.

The daughter of Katie and Wilbur Johnson, Carroll attends Madras High School where she is a member of the Indian Club. Her court is made up of three other girls - first princess Lauri Stahi of Wapato, of Washington; second princess Sharon Kucnki of Wahkiacus, of Washington; and third princess Carla Tewce of Warm Springs. Last year Carroll was a prin cess for Celilo Wyam. A time of Indian Thanksgiving In celebration of the new foods offered up by the Creator each spring, the Simnasho and Agency Longhouses observed this year's Root Feast on Sun day, April 8. Much preparation and care goes into each year's Root Feast, as evidenced by sore fingers and tired backs. i This year, halfway through the Washat services at the Agency Root Feast, an NBC tele vision crew appeared at the doorway of the longhouse. They were there with permis sion of the Tribal Council and longhouse leaders for the pur pose of documenting on film how Indians use salmon.. The film footage will be aired nationwide when the U.S. Su preme Court makes a ruling on the Boldt decision, which could impact Indian fishermen on the Columbia River. A five-minute segment will be shown on NBC's Today Show as soon as the Supreme Court ruling is announced.
