I We may soon have a better
! picture of what life was like for
Indians a hundred years ago on
I the Warm Springs Reservation,
j University of Oregon archae
j ologist Rick Minor is in the pro
! cess of researching and analyz
i ing artifacts retrieved this Sep
j tember from Dry Creek, intake
' site of the tribes' Deschutes
J domestic water system.
! Minor said that this area of
! Dry Creek by the Deschutes
i was probably occupied around
1 1880. "It represents a period
' when the Warm Springs Indians
were becoming more and more
acculturated, using more of the
white man's things," said Minor.
"You can read about this pe
riod of time in history books,
but they don't deal with artifacts.
History books tend to talk about
famous people while artifacts tell
how the common people lived,"
said Minor.
Although the archaelogist and
his team didn't find anything
terribly exciting, they did un
cover more than they had ex
pected to. Among the finds were
miscellaneous metal parts, lots
of glass, and square and round
nails. Minor said the round nails
were probably from around
1890.
They also unearthed some
stone tools and stone flakes that
were probably from an earlier
period. Eating utensils, a vari
ety of crockery, dishes, chimney
glass and a variety of beads were
collected as well as animal bones
and river mussel shell.
They say that the action at
national Indian meetings hap
pens behind the scenes, away
form the convention floor. It
seemed to be happening in both
places at the National Congress
of American Indians annual
convention in Albuquerque this
week.
The Warm Springs delegation
had a private audience with Sec
retary of the Interior Cecil B.
Andrus, securing his support for
the tribes' hydroelectric project.
With nearly the entire month
of September spent reviewing
the proposed 1980 budget,
Tribal Council members have
made their revisions and recom
mendations. On Sept. 26 the

this week
budget summaries were posted
for the public.
Although the operating bud
get presented to them by man
agement was 30 percent higher
than last year's, Council has
made very little change, delet
ing no new programs or posi
tions. However, they did add
$25,000 for tribal road access
for new homes, $50,000 for se
nior citizen home remodeling
and $183,000 for anticipated
rural water projects.
Council also approved the $1
million capitalized budget for
major improvements at Kah-Nee-Ta.

It's past midnight on the eve
of publication. If this was an
old movie I'd be hunched over
a manual typewriter, my tie loos
ened, a cup of cold coffee at
my side, with the ciryscape lying
outside the window. But this is
1979 in Warm Springs -1 sit at

chine in my Simnasho t-shirt with
a bottle of Diet Pepsi tucked
under my arm and horses
munching on the lawn below.
What a delightful set of con
trasts! I can feel the sentimentality
creeping up and I suspect I'll
give in to it. I can always blame
the late hour. But this is, after
all, my 90,h and last issue of
Spilyay Tymoo, and I guess I
have the right to reflect a bit.
There's no need to dwell on
the growth and maturation of
Spilyay in the last 3'2 years.
Reading the 1976 issues never
fails to embarrass me - we have
certainly come a long way, baby.
I feel fortunate to have been
part of that growth. It has
meant a few gray hairs for me
but it has afforded me a close
ness to this community that few
"outsiders" experience in four
years.

There was this worm crawl
ing up a tree when he sees an
other worm lying in the shade,
so he decides to go over and get
acquainted. After a while he said,
"I love you, will you marry
me?" The reply was, "Can't you
tell that I'm the wrong end."
Yikes!

Facts and myths about flu
Myth: "The flu is just like a
bad cold." False.
Flu is far more dangerous. It
can lead to pneumonia. Each
year (on average) approximately
36,000 people in the U.S. die of
pneumonia and influenza.
Myth: "The flu shot can give
you the flu." False.
The flu shot is made from
killed viruses. It protects most
people from the flu, but it won't
protect you from other viruses
that sometimes feel like the flu.
Myth: "The shot's side ef
fects are worse than the flu."
False.
Side effects of the flu shot
may include a sore arm, mild
fever, and an achy feeling.
Flu itself causes fever, chills,
headache, muscle aches, sore
throat, and overwhelming weak-

against flu
ness. Symptoms can last up to a
week.
Myth: "If I don't get the flu
shot in October it will be too
late." False.
Flu season usually lasts from
November to March, so the best
time to get a shot is October or
November.
It takes about 2 weeks after
getting the shot to build up im
munity so a flu shot in Decem
ber will still protect you from
the flu.
