A first at COCC
Stolen fish: Tribal
elder Geraldine Jim had
drying salmon stolen
recently from her
residence on Looksh.
It was not the first time
this has happened.
This time drying
backbones were stolen.
She and her family are
asking people to be
aware of anyone selling
dried salmon
backbones. If you have
information that may
help resolve this, please
contact the police at
541-553-1171.

Truman was one of three students to speak at the President’s Scholarship
Luncheon at COCC. The students, addressing the COCC Foundation
Scholarship administrators, talk about their life backgrounds, and the ways
the scholarships have helped them. Truman focused on tribal cultural matters,
and the speech was well received.

Stolen item: This prize-winning beaded yoke
was stolen from a residence recently. This has
great sentimental value. If you have information,
please contact the Warm Springs Police, 541-
553-1171. The item may also be returned, no
questions asked, at the Media Center.

During the school
year, his schedule requires
that he works weekends
and evenings. He’ll spend
half-days at work and the
other half at school. His
supervisor and co-workers
at Fire Management have
been great in supporting
Truman in his goals, both at
college and at work.
And for now there is no
telling where these recent
developments might lead.
This could lead, for in-
stance, to an interest in
pursuing some other
elected office. “It’ll open
doors along the way,” he
says.
