Being a "past" European and therefore not a "Native American," I must congratulate the staff of Smoke Signals for their April 1 insert in Smoke Signals called, "Motivated Speaker Lifts Tribal Youth." This article and photos shows the world that the "White Man" has been wrong from day one about attitude and behavior by rounding up, degrading them and put them on reservations. "Indians" do show us what attitude and behavior should be as I have observed over the past years in Grand Ronde. Attitude, either from Elders towards Youth and Youth towards Elders and yes, towards us White Men also. I have lived under oppression and atrocities for some five years during World War II, I know what that is all about. To me this article and pictures are a great lesson in attitude and behavior. With my best regards, A.F. "Gus" Smoorenburg A Native from "The Netherlands" In the last issue of Smoke Signals, we identified Terry Ber key as a Tribal member. His wife and children are Tribal members. We apologize for the error. Public Hearing To Be Held On Tribal Member Preference And Hiring Qualifications Tribal Council will hold a "Public Hearing" on Tribal member preference and hiring qualifications (this will fo cus on background checks) at the General Council meeting on Sunday, June 25, 2006. The General Council meeting will start at 11 a.m. and the hearing will follow the Tribal Council nominations.
