Tribal author’s book
acquired by Tu Books
Tribal Elder Charlene Willing McManis’ book “Indian No More” has been
acquired by Tu Books for publication scheduled to occur in the fall of 2019.
“Indian No More” is a middle grade novel set in the 1950s. It tells the
story of a 10-year-old Umpqua girl and her family’s Tribal rights being
terminated and they must relocate from their Reservation in Oregon to
Los Angeles, where they are expected to assimilate.
McManis is the daughter of Charles Willing and Chitsh Maud, who
were born on the Grand Ronde Reservation. She lived in Grand Ronde
until she was 4 when her family relocated to Los Angeles as part of the
federal relocation program.
“I’m hoping to let children know about this event and how it affected
us,” McManis said.
McManis, 64, lives in Vermont.

Tribal Elder Karel Ann (Gregg) Ling,
77, was called to our Heavenly Father
on the morning of Friday, Nov. 3, 2017,
in Kailua, Hawai'i, surrounded by fam-
ily, neighbors and church friends.
Karel was born in Bend, Ore., on
March 23, 1940, to Kenneth and Naomi
Gregg. She met her husband, Kenneth
K.M. Ling (deceased), while attending
Linfield College in McMinnville where
she graduated with a bachelor’s degree
in Social Work.
Both Karel and Kenneth used their Social Work degrees to help
many challenged youths during their tenure as Palama Settlement.
Karel went on to work at the Hawai’i Children’s Justice Center
and Koolau Boys Home (Hawai’i Youth Correctional Center). Karel
retired in 2002 from the Communications Department at Marine
Corps Base Hawai’i.
Karel loved her fellowship with Kailua Christian Church, her
Bible studies with classes from Bible Institute of Hawai’i and being
a member of the Windward YMCA Ys Men’s Club, donating her
time to helping others.
Karel is survived by her three sons, Scot (Pauahi), Mark (Rennie)
and Lance (Shana), and two daughters, Heidi Cummings (Walter Jr.)
and Heather Bernal (Eric Sr.). She also is survived by her siblings,
Karon Chapman, Robert Reed, Val Reed and Rick Reed, as well as

Native organizations
condemn Trump’s slur
NORMAN, Okla. – The Native American Journalists Association joined
the National Congress of American Indians in condemning President Don-
ald Trump’s use of the name “Pocahontas” in a derogatory manner while
honoring World War II veteran Navajo code talkers on Monday, Nov. 27,
during a White House ceremony.
“We call on our colleagues in journalism to be responsible and accurate
in their reporting on this important issue that affects the perceptions of
Native people and communities,” NAJA said in a press release.
“When an elected official or their publicly funded information officer
use the name of a Native person or Nation with the intent to demean or
denigrate, it shapes the public perception of that person and their Tribe
across the nation and around the world.”
NAJA said that when President Trump uses the name of Pocahontas as
a pejorative with the intent to insult, it becomes a racial slur.
Trump’s use of Pocahontas was aimed at Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, who claimed to have Native ancestry during her run for public
office.
NCAI also called on Trump to refrain from using her name in a way
that denigrates her legacy on Nov. 27. Pocahontas was a member of the
Pamunkey Indian Tribe in Virginia and still holds a significant place in
the history and culture of her Tribe.
NAJA includes approximately 500 members representing Tribal,
nonprofit, freelance and mainstream media professionals in promoting
accurate coverage of Indian Country.
