Patriot Nations
The Museum at Warm

eling Veterans Banner Ex-
hibit, on display through

Patriot Nations—Native
Americans in Our Armed
Fo r c e s is visiting War m
Springs from the National
Museum of the American
Indian.
In his time William
‘Billy Chinook’ Parker,
born in 1823, traveled
from the Northwest to
California and the East
Coast.
Originally from the
mid Columbia River re-
gion, Mr. Parker spent his
later years on the Warm
Springs Reser vation,
farming and raising his
family.
In memory
In Memor y of Norman
A. Nathan ~ Six years in
Heaven ~ August 8, 1937-
July 18, 2012
The moment that you left
me, my heart was split in two.
One side filled with memo-
ries, the other died with you.
Today, he has many de-
scendants: Some of them are
here in Warm Springs; oth-
ers hail from New Jersey,
Texas, among many locales.
How many people—all
of these generations later—
can trace their ancestry to
Billy Chinook?
We will have a general
idea of this great diversity
of ancestry in August, when
Richard Macy hosts the
family gathering, wel-
coming all who trace
their heritage to Billy
Chinook and wife Annie
Holliquilla Parker.
The gathering will be
at the Community Cen-
ter social hall, all day on
Saturday and Sunday,
August 18-19.
I often lay away at night
when the world is fast asleep,
Then take a walk down
memor y lane with tears upon
my cheek.
Remembering you is easy, I
do it every day,
But missing you is a heart-
ache that never goes away.
I hope you tightly within my
heart and there you will re-
main.
You see Norm, life has gone
on without you
But will never be the same.
