Twenty-five years ago
From the May 1, 1981
edition of the Spilyay Tymoo.
In what was termed a most
positive atmosphere, Kenneth L.
Smith o f Warm Springs told
fB members o f the Senate Select
Indian Affairs Committee his
“beliefs and philosophy” on In
dian matters at his confirmation
hearing.
Smith, who has been General
Manager here since 1971, was
nominated earlier this year by
Pres. Reagan to be the Depart
ment o f the Interior’s Assistant
Secretary for Indian Affairs. In
other news:
W hen a farm er near the
Prineville area was plowing up
his field earlier this month he
uncovered a human skull. After
investigating, he discovered sev
eral burial sites and immediately
con tacted
anthrop ologist
Suzanne Crowley. She then no
tified the Warm Springs Tribal
Council o f the finding and they
authorized her to work at the
site.
So far, two undisturbed
grave sites have been discovered
and the remains o f four indi
viduals have already been un
covered. Crowley said all appear
to be young males and she esti
mates their time o f death to
have been the early 1800s.
N elson W allulatum, who
went to the site with V iola
Kalama and Felix Wallulatum,
said there are some confusing
aspects about this burial site and
the circumstances surrounding
the deaths.
The individuals may have
been Paiutes who were root dig
ging in the area, but Wallulatum
said some o f the personal items
appear to have com e from
around The Dalles. And in other
news:
Chrome-plated shovels glis
tened in the sunlight as the
groundbreaking ceremony for
the Confederated Tribes’ hydro
electric project began Wednes
day, April 22. The event drew a
KATU (channel 2) news crew,
reporters from several newspa
pers, officials, tribal members
and associates.
Seated on the patriotically
wrapped platform at the
Reregulating Dam site were
chiefs Nelson Wallulatum, Amos
Simtustus and Nick Kalama, all
dressed in full regalia.
