Jim Thorpe’s medals returned
Jan. 18, 1983: Jim Thorpe’s
Olympic medals are turned
over to his heirs. Thorpe, a
member of the Sac and Fox
Indian Nation, became the
first American Indian to win
a Gold Medal on behalf of
the United States. The med-
als, won at the 1912 Olym-
pics, were taken away the
following year when it was
discovered he’d been paid
for playing two seasons of
semi-professional baseball,
which went against the rule
at that time that Olympic ath-
letes must be amateurs.
Jan. 19, 1847: New Mexi-
co Gov. George Bend is at-
tacked, killed and scalped by
Pueblo Indians who demand
the release of tribal members
held in jail. The Indians plan
to kill all Americans they can
find. Near Mora, eight Amer-
icans are captured, robbed
and shot. Many Mexicans
join the revolt, angry that the
Americans had captured the
city of Santa Fe five months
earlier.
Jan. 20, 1969: Classes be-
gin at Navajo Community
College (now called Dine Col-
lege) on the Navajo Reserva-
tion in Tsaile, Ariz. It’s the
first college established and
controlled by an Indian tribe.
Jan. 21, 1674: Father Pierre
Millet uses information from
an almanac to “foretell” the
coming of a lunar eclipse.
He had challenged Iroquois
shamen to predict the time
or date of the eclipse, which
they couldn’t do. Millet’s suc-
cess allows him to make in-
roads among the Iroquois.
Jan. 22, 1599: Spanish at-
tack the Acoma Pueblo.
Jan. 23, 1689: Saco, a settle-
ment in Southern Maine, is
attacked by Abnaki Indians.
Nine settlers are be killed in
the fighting.
Jan. 24, 1955: Ira Hayes,
a Pima Indian, dies. He was
one of six U.S. Marines who
raised the flag on Mount Su-
ribachi, Iwo Jima. Later, a
postage stamp is issued and a
bronze statue erected to hon-
or the flag-raising.
Ellis is an author and his-
torian working on a book
about American Indians.

The estimated impact of carrying out the Warrenton Urban Renewal Plan
on the tax collections for the preceding year for all taxing districts is shown
in the table below. The impacts on the Warrenton-Hammond School Dis-
trict and the Northwest Regional ESD are indirect impacts due to the state
school funding formula in Oregon. Schools are funded on a per-pupil for-
mula established at the state level. These figures differ slightly from the tax
increment revenue received figures as they do not represent under-collec-
tion, late payments, or delinquencies.
