In support
I am supporting Susan Guerin
for Agency District representative
on Tribal Council. I support Susan
for the following reasons:
1. She has shown knowledge of
the major documents, constitution,
Bylaws, etc. I have heard her speak
about these, and other pertinent
tribal documents, in Council.
2. She has stressed to the cur-
rent representatives that they should
have at least quarterly meetings, if
not monthly. We vote them in, they
should report back to us. Susan will
do this.
3. She is a communicator—some
people do not like this, but those of
us who are interested in what’s go-
ing on in our community, want to
hear about it. She is always avail-
able to answer questions.
4. In May 2014, people began to
talk about subjects not being dis-
cussed with the people by Council.
Susan organized monthly meetings
so communication could begin.
Various tribal members began to at-
tend and discuss our ‘corporation.’
She didn’t have to be a Council mem-
ber to show she cares about our
people. That’s the kind of person
we need on Tribal Council.
5. She has furthered her educa-
tion beyond high school.
6. She has run her own business
and can read balance sheets. She
has attended Council meetings to
ask about our businesses’ bottom
lines.
7. She is one of the founding
members of the local American Le-
gion, celebrating our veterans and

their families.
8. Her grandma, Bessie Guerin,
was one of the Council members
who stood up for us years ago for
the McQuinn Strip. I know Susan
will do the same.
Thank you. Susan will represent
us well.

Madras High School student
and tribal member Quentin
Scott is traveling to the Flo Wres-
tling Reno Worlds in Reno Ne-
vada, April 7-10.
This tournament is the last
stop for the prestigious Trinity
Award, and last chance for Fu-
ture Olympian Points.
The Trinity award is for top
kid wrestlers in the country who
compete on the national level,
through a point system estab-
lished as a tour incentive.
Last year Quentin was one
match from placing at the Tulsa
Nationals, and scratched in
Reno due to an injury the week-
end before in Iowa, at the Asics
Nationals.
Quentin is a sophomore at
Madras High School, where he
currently participates in track
and field. He and his family
moved home last spring from
Kansas.
Quentin also enjoys working
at his Job at Frank Stables at
Kah-Nee-Ta. He likes the job,
he says, as a way to meet new
people and saving money for
sports travels.
Reno isn’t his only tourney

coming up, as he is scheduled to
travel to Oklahoma City, Battle-
ground, Wash., Las Vegas, and
Fargo, North Dakota for National
tourneys over summer.
“‘Reppin’ Natives and Warm
Springs,” he says, have always been
a privilege and honor.
His future goals, Quentin says,
are “to win titles for my people,
my family and my nation of Warm
Springs.” He also has the educa-
tional goal of pursuing a college
scholarship and possible Olympic
Trials.
Stay tuned for fundraisers and
upcoming announcements. ‘Team
Q’ t-shirts will be available, plus a
