Tribal Community Center
Dear Smoke Signals:
April Campbell said This project has been long overdue." I'll say.
In my fourth-grade class with Mrs. Johnson at Willamina Elementary
School, it would have been timely, to say the least, for us to have an his
toric curriculum as described in your Sept. 15 issue. That was the school
year 1952-53.
We were ultimately "integrated" quite well in high school years with
classroom, activities and sports. But the adult community was not as well
adjusted in the aftermath of the 1954 Termination. Elders will have some
stories which may or may not be forgotten. Most of us were oblivious in
those years.
I personally was enlightened with my in-law association to Marvin
Kimsey, who, of course, was so instrumental to the Restoration process.
I had no idea the consequences of history until I saw the work that had
been done by Marvin and the others.
Additionally, at some time I cannot pinpoint, I read the historic chronol
ogy authored by Dee Brown, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (An Indian
History of the American West)." Boy, is that ever an eye-opener!
So, good work, April Campbell. Good luck in your next job!
I suggest that parts of Grand Ronde Road might be redesignated MLK
Boulevard (Marvin Loren Kimsey) to never forget what was done for Res
toration, particularly the stretch from Highway 18 to Andy Riggs Road
would not be difficult, to give that honor and to preserve history.
