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. She won the
honor of representing Celilo
Village for one year by selling
774 raffle tickets in a fund-raising
drive for the Celilo
Longhouse.
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.
