Youth
(Continued from page 1)
Along with such concerns as
substance abuse on the Warm
Springs reservation, discontent
with the Madras educational
system and a perceived discon
nect between Warm Springs
Tribal Council and tribal mem
bers, Neskahi asked if anyone
felt anger about the flooding of
Celilo Falls, a longtime tradi
tional fishing area on the Co
lumbia River, due to the con
struction of The Dalles Dam in
1957.
"For me, over my lifetime, I
began to realize that some of
those things, even back way in
side of me that I never noticed,
were always there," he said.
"Some of the stuff that makes
me angry is that some of these
places have new names
(changed from the traditional
Native names).
"How do we make our way
through these," Neskahi asked.
"Is it all right to feel angry about
these things?"
The warrior, he said, actually
spends "a very small time" fac
ing an enemy.
"Most of your lives, you're
with your people," he said. "And
Top news
the reason why you're willing to
go and face the enemy is
love."
"If you love your people so
much, you're willing to battle for
them. That's what a warrior's
heart really is, and when that
comes from within your heart,
it's going to guide you and lead
you."
This love, he said, "knows
about, longs for and wishes
good things for your people."
Neskahi said that much like
when a baby cries, "without cry
ing, how are you going to be able
to tell people what we need in
our lives?"
Neskahi, who began his pre
sentation with two Native lan
guage songs, has been a consult
ant and trainer for Native
American communities for
more than 20 years. He pre
sented a similar presentation on
anger resolution in Warm
Springs in Nov. 2003.
The youth workshop also in
cluded a Youth Health Fair and
the dedication of the new skate
park at Elmer Quinn Park in
Warm Springs Dec. 29. The
workshop concluded with an
evening round dance Dec. 30.

The gathering in July marked
the formal conclusion of these
talks and is the basis for the new
license.
Gymnasium
Construction of the new gym
at Warm Springs Elementary
School was a major accomplish
ment in 2004. The $1.3 million
structure rates as the third big
gest local news story of last year.
The new gym, replacing the
original gym, whichburned down
two winters ago, will be a great
asset for the Warm Springs com
munity. The building is larger
than the typical elementary
school gym because it will house
not only youth sports activities
but community events of all
kinds. Nearly all the construc
tion work was done in 2004,
with the facility set to open in
the near future.
Tribal government
The 23rd Tribal Council took
office in 2004. The first order
of business of the new council
was the appointment of Jody
Calica as secretary-treasurer,
and Lauraina Hintsala as chief
operations officer.
Stanley "Buck" Smith Jr.,
Rita Squiemphen and Garland
Brunoe were elected from the
Agency District. Brunoe, later in
the year, took the position of
general manager of Kah-Nee-Ta
High Desert Resort and Ca
sino. Bernice Mitchell then filled
Brunoe's vacancy on the coun
cil. Earl Squiemphen, Raymond
Tsumpti and Ron Suppah were
elected from the Simnasho Dis
trict. Suppah was named Coun
cil Chairman.
Reuben Henry and Carol
Wewa were elected from the
Seekseequa District. The new
Council, and the appointment of
the new S-T and COO, were
newsworthy items of 2004.
For the fifth-most newswor
thy item of the year, I'll agree
with Fritz Miller and say the
skate park is an important addi
tion to the community. (See page
4 for more on the park.)
