Many of you may be famil
iar with the Wewa name. By the
time F.rica Wewa was entering
the Pee-Wee Rodeos, Jazz
Wewa, Matt Wewa and Winton
Wewa were already competing
in rodeos throughout the North
west. F.rica's mother Arlene
Wewa was also known for tak
ing a turn around the barrels in
her time.
Krica Wewa is a homegrown
rodeo gal, and in the past year
has represented the Warm
Springs Confederated Tribes of
Oregon as the 2X)4 Pi-Ume-Sha
Treaty Days Rodeo Queen. As
her reign draws to a close, F.rica
would like to recognize her par
ents Albert and Arlene Bryant
for their encouragement
throughout the 2004 year. F.rica
especially is appreciative to her
grandma Marita Johnson for all
the support she has given while
traveling to rodeos throughout
the Northwest.
Marita has taken the time to
IT' rsniV"
Erica Wewi
take Erica along with her. Erica
is very thankful that Marita has
graciously allowed her to use one
of their horses. Traveling with
Marita has also allowed F.rica to
spend time with her cousin
Jenna Johnson, who also com
petes in Indian rodeos. With the
support of extended family,
F.rica feels this was an added
benefit to her.
Erica's reign as the 2004 Pi-Ume-Sha
Queen may be end
ing, but the active and involved
young lady takes on a new role.
In May 2005, Erica was
crowned the 2005 Tygh Ridge
Rodeo Queen, and has added
another feather to her cowgirl
hat.
Erica will continue to be busy
this summer and coming year
with the added job of represent
ing the Tygh Ridge Rodeo.' As
her Pi-Ume-Sha Rodeo Queen
reign draws to an end, Erica
would like to thank everyone
who showed their support. Dur
ing the past year, she has been
honored to represent the tribes
and the Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty
Days Rodeo.
She looks forward to her last
year as a senior at Madras I ligh
School. She plans to enlist in the
Army reserves after graduation.
As the 150lh year Pi-Ume-Sha
Treaty Days Celebration ap
proaches, Erica welcomes all
visitors who attend the Pi-Ume-Sha
activities, and wishes every
one safe travels to and from the
celebration.
Students have good experiences at Chemawa
By Brian Mortenscn
Spilyay Tjmoo
Through his three years at
Chemawa Indian High School,
Myron Northrup got a change
of scenery, got to play varsity
basketball, and made a discov
ery. "I like being around Natives,"
Northrup, 18, said. "Being at
Chemawa made it easier for
me, to be around Native Ameri
cans.

Northrup, a Warm Springs
tribal member, was one of 85 .,
Native American students who
graduated from the Salem
school May 20. Another of the
several graduates from Warm
Springs was his sister Rozylin.
Northrup transferred to
Chemawa to start his sophq-
more year after going to Madras
High School his freshman year.
"After my freshman year at
Madras, I wanted to get away
from home," he said. "There
was nothing to do here."
His father, Carlos Northrup,
was in favor of the transfer
because of the opportunities it
gave him to meet Native Ameri
can peers.
"I learned to play basketball
at an Indian school," Carlos
Northrup said. "We had a good
coach who was 80 years old.
They said if you listened, you'll
learn from him. The things I
learned, I tried to tell my boys."
In addition to being the
SL
Rozylin Northrup
Myron Northrup
Braves' most valuable player
during his junior and senior bas
ketball seasons, Myron
Northrup earned a 3.0 grade
point average and garnered sev
eral awards. One of these was
the Army National Guard YOU
CAN Award for Leadership
Excellence. He said he got that
for "following the rules, keep
ing my grades up and staying out
of trouble."
I le also earned a Presidents
Educational Award for Out
standing Academic Achieve
ment, the $1,000 M. Drew
Sevcry Award that he will apply
toward his tuition at Haskell
Indian Nations University in
Lawrence, KS., where he will
attend next year.
Northrup also earned an
award from Daughters of
American Revolution for his
academic work during his senior
year.
Both Northrup and his
younger brother, Galen, a
sophomore, earned second
team All Tri-River Conference
v honors in basketball.
Northrup had been invited to
play basketball in Sydney, Aus
tralia, through Down Under
Sports Specialties, Inc., this sum
mer. This is the same program
through which Madras High ath
letes Charlene Moody and
Blaine Begay are competing
there this summer. Northrup
wasn't able to raise the neces
sary funds to join them in
Sydney. 1
Carlos Northrup said he trav
eled to Salem to see his sons'
games last season, even games
in the middle of the week. He
even made the 16-hour drive
south to Riverside, Calif., to
watch his sons play
Christmastime tournament.
Northrup said he plans on
taking general studies courses at
Haskell.
Carlos Northrup and Angie
Govenor, of Portland, are
Northrup's parents.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - A
child development center
shaped like a storytelling turde
and a school that reflects
Anasazi architecture are among
New Mexico's best new build
ings. Eight buildings from among
36 projects nominated in New
Mexico have won the 2005 Best
Buildings awards.
Dennis Roberts of the New
Mexico Building Branch of the
Associated General Contractors,
a sponsor of the annual contest,
said this year's competition saw
builders and architects placing
an emphasis on American Indian
design and traditions. "There's a
strong effort to use the past as
a starting point to build for the
present and future," he said.
The Early Childhood Devel
opment Center at Acoma
Pueblo, which won an award for
its exterior, was designed as a
place where children can learn
Native culture, language, tradi
tion, dance and games.
The turtle shape "is symbolic
of patient Mother Earth," Rob
erts said. The TseYiGai High
School in Pueblo Pintado, also
was awarded for its exterior, is
in the heart of the Chaco Can
yon National Monument be
tween Gallup and Cuba.
