Conference
(Continued from page 1)
As Falcon explained, the Rez
Watch program is one that aims
to bring community members
together to fight the meth prob
lem in their own communities,
som ething they do through
forming a more specific version
o f a neighborhood watch.
“W here does the healing
start? Out in the community,”
Falcon explained. “That’s why
‘Rez W atch’ is a community-
based volunteer program.”
A ccording to Falcon, the
methamphetamine problem is
Open
O p& K
one that needs to be stopped,
and people are more than will
ing to do so. “People are sick
o f it. They don’t want to see it
coming into our reservations
anymore,” she said.
Candace Shelton, o f Mary
land, led a discussion o f meth
amphetamine and alcohol use
during pregnancy. She agreed
that the community needs to
come together, but added, “The
problem in our communities is
that a lot o f times we don’t even
want to talk about it.”
Falcon said that not talking
about it is reason in itself to be
concerned.
A main reason why metham
phetamine is such a serious
problem is that the drug is very
simple to make. Many ingredi
ents can be purchased in stores,
although laws have changed,
making it harder for the manu
facturer.
Another problem , Falcon
mentioned, is the way in which
meth addicts are treated. “They
don’t need anymore judgment.
They’ve already judging them
selves,” she said.
Falcon spoke out to young
people, urging them to become
educated about meth use early
on and to stay away from the
toxic drug. “Whatever you feed
your spirit you will become,” she
said. “You deserve so much
more.”

And Portland is a big enough
market for both tribes’ casinos,
he said. T he Grand Ronde’s
Spirit Mountain Casino is to the
southwest o f Portland, and the
Warm Springs tribes’ Bridge o f
the Gods will be to the east. “We’ll
get a share and they’ll get their
share,” Smith said.
Besides, in the free market
and business environment, com
petition is good. “It makes you
better,” he said.
The Grand Ronde tribes have
drawn media attention lately be
cause they have funded adver
tisements intended to influence
the governor’s race, with the ul
tim ate goal o f blocking the
Warm Springs tribes’ Cascade
Locks casino project.
