Dear Smoke Signals:
I read with sadness in your Jan. 1 issue that Everett "Bud" Farlow had
passed away. I had the honor and pleasure of being his lawyer and friend.
Bud was a sweet, strong and funny man.
In the late 1970s (I think it was back then. I am getting old!), the younger
generation of his family came to me. I then met Bud; his sister, Flora
Llaneza; and his brother, Eldon. I must have looked skinny because they
always filled me with cookies in Flora's southeast Portland house. They
told me that even though they had been born in what was now Indian
Mary Park, they still had to pay to get into the park. That was outrageous.
I then researched the issue and realized that the park had been stolen
from the family by the United States. Their ancestors, Umpqua Joe and
Indian Mary, would make a great book and exciting movie.
I remember driving down to the park with Bud and Eldon, and being
taught about their days at Chemawa and in Josephine County.
The park is beautiful. But the law left me with very little hope of getting
the land back.
I may have been able to take a good shot a lawsuit, if the Tribe had got
ten onboard, but the family and I were unsuccessful in getting any help
at that time. Without help, we couldn't afford to sue the county.
I wish I had been able to do more.
I am thankful to have known Bud Farlow.
