Growing up with five sisters
(and as the youngest), Greene
said, was always interesting,
challenging and memorable.
That’s why he worked with
several cousins to form the
group.
“ My co u sin s becam e my
brothers and we form ed the
drumming group,” he said.
Now, as the Quartz Creek
Drum and Dance Group, they
perform in various fundraisers
throughout the year, and have
been selected as a “ host drum”
for several pow-wos, Indian
Nights Out, and for the early
ch ildh ood pro gram , m iddle
school and high school.
About a year ago, the group
was featured in a special for
O regon Public Broadcasting
about the Confederated Tribe
o f Warm Springs.
During filming o f the special,
Greene said, they were able to
perform at the Rose Garden in
P ortlan d as p art o f N ative
American Day for the second
year in a row.
“ We enjoy doin g p e rfo r
m ances,” he said. “Wherever
we’re asked to go, we go.”
During whatever time he has
left, Greene works at ranch
ing— laboring in hay fields and
raising cattle on his fam ily’s
ranch.
Bowling, however, is a hobby
that will remain consistent in
Greene’s life for many years to
co m e— e sp ecially sin ce he
serves as the president for the
Warm Springs Bowling League.
G reene also serves as the
chairman for the holiday bowl
ing tour.
“ I had some big shoes to fill
there because it used to be my
dad’s,” Greene said.
F o r his fellow bow lers,
Greene advises that calmness is
the best method.
“ D o n ’t get excited or ner
vous,” Greene cautioned. “ Just
continue to do the routine things
throughout the game. D on’t sit
there and think about it; that is
when excitement and nerves
could overcome your game.”
Greene joins Ray Shike, Jr.;
D elano “ Satch” Miller; John
Wright; Dick Souers; the late
Vernon Tanewasha; and the late
Gerald Nicodem us as a tribal
m ember from Warm Springs
who has achieved a perfect 300.
In 2004 G reene won two
m aster’s events: the first at a
tournament in Yakima, the sec

“ It’s a wonderful feeling see
ing all o f the kids down there
doing something,” Greene said.
“We have to keep them busy and
occupied.”
It’s something that Greene
said wouldn’t be possible with
out the volunteer coaches that
make the league successful and
share their skills and talents—
something he appreciates.
Greene believes that the rec
reation department helps pro
mote worthwhile activities for
local youth.
“That’s what we hope for,”
he explained— and it’s som e
thing that encourages him to
strive for success in his position.
While the recreation depart
ment once had as many as 10
employees, Greene now relies
on four full-time workers and a
few part-time employees.
However, he credits the abil
ity to create positive programs
for youth on his dedicated staff
members.
Over the years Greene has
seen many changes in the de
partment, and some aren’t the
changes he would like to see.
“ I hate to say it,” he said.
“There is a decline in kids’ in
terest.”
“This used to be the place to
be,” he said. Now, however, he
said many children are becom
ing interested in things like video
games and other activities.
“ T h at’s a hard challenge,”
Greene said. “You just have to
make what is available the best
you can.”
As for the staff, he said, they
work hard to make the experi
ence as worthwhile as possible
for the youth that do take ad
vantage o f the center.
Like any person, Greene isn’t
without his personal struggles.
In 1988, he said, “ I had a life
changing experience.”
That year he sought treat
ment for alcoholism.
It was something that he said
became especially crucial after
beginning to work with the rec
reation department.
“ It was important to me in
the position that I held, being a
role m odel for so many chil
dren,” Greene explained.
N ow he has been alcohol-
free since 1988— “That’s impor
tant,” he said.
According to Greene, it was
so m eth in g that m attered in
terms o f gaining respect and
trust amongst participants at the
community center, as well as re
spect as a person in the com
munity and surrounding areas.
“Although we’re a small com
munity, you want to be some
body positive,” G reene said.
“ It’s important to the kids that
come here on a daily basis.”
Because o f his interest in cul
tural aspects, Greene said, he
participates in a local drumming
group.
“ It’s teachings that have been
handed down,” Greene said o f
his drumming.
In his opinion, “ I f you have
an opportunity to share a cul
tural teaching with a youth or
individual, the culture will carry
on.”
He became more involved in
drumming when his drumming
group was founded in 1997.
