Headache is ci"1e most common physical complaint of our time. In most cases, headaches are caused by tension or muscle spasm. Severe tension headaches often are confused with what most people think is migraine. There are some very definite differences. CLASSIFICATION OF HEADACHE- Headache may be d~scribed in many ways, but the following is a useful classification, both for diagnosis and treatment. the skull. Here the headache is secondary to a disease, usually a dangerous disease. SINUS - When the sinuses or air cavities of head become infected or inflamed, ·localized headache may result. This is associated with nasal stuffiness or allergy. Normally, when the affected sinus .is grained, the headache is relieved. TEMPORAL ARTERITIS - This is a onesided headache. It commonly occurs in order people, and is associated with a TENSION - The most common form of headlow grade fever and weight loss. The ache is that produced by muscle contractio~ temporal artery is tender to the touch the common tension headache. It is often as a result of inflammation. In absence band-like or located at the base of the of proper diagnosis and treatment, skull. It is related to muscle contraction serious complications may develop. The and fatigue. condition usually responds to appropriate therapy. VASCULAR - Vascular headaches involve the arteries inside and outside . the skull. THE NATURE OF MIGRAINE - Migraine headAll migraine headaches are vascular. The ache usually starts on one side of the headache is produced by distension and head, and, as a rule, remains one-sided; dilation of the blood vessels of the it may, however, change sides from one scalp. It is often limited to one side attack to another. The pain of a of the head. The pain may be throbbing and migraine can be identified as throbbing, simultaneous with the pulse beat. and the intensity of this throbbing along with nausea and perhaps vomiting, MIGRAINE - Migraine or "sick headache" is can debilitate the sufferer to the sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomit- point atwhich he/she can no longer ing. The pain of migraine, which varies in function. The typical reaction is to severity, usually affects the head and lie down and avoid light. The frequency only occasionally involves other parts of attacks varies from almost daily to of the body. Attac~s are intermittent and yearly, or even less often There are may last for a few hours, although they two major types of migraine headache. often last for a full day or even longer. COMMON AND CLASSIC MIGRAINE - "Common" CLUSTER - The pain of this type of headache and "Classic" migraine are differentiated by the presence or absence of symptoms is usually severe. It generally occurs prior to the onset of the headache. in men, and is a brief, one-sided intense boring pain, often with tearing of the eye The most prevalent type of migraine is a common migraine. Common migraine does and blockage of the nose on the same side as the headache. It usually occurs at not have an obvious dramatic period benight and awakens the person from a sound fore the headache starts. However, many sleep.

THE NATURE OF THE VICTIM - Migraine headache appears to run in families. Seventy percent of patients with migraine report positive family histories. Although the millions of people with migraine comprise a very diverse group, it is commonly agreed that they share certain characteristics. Many physicians feel that migraine sufferers are frequently highly energetic, ambitious, orderly people who strive for perfection. Some people respond to tension, anxiety, hostility or anger by developing a headache. However, it is not uncommon for a migraine to manifest during a period of relaxation, such as facations or weekends. Vascular changes set off by an alteration in hormone levels can induce a migraine. For instance, during menstruation and ovulation, hormonal changes can provoke an attack. What and when you eat may affect migraine. Ripened cheese, chicken livers, citrus fruits, chocolate, red wines, and caffeine-containing drinks, such as cola and coffee, can trigger an attack. Foods preserved with nitrates and nitrites, such as bacon and hot dogs, can trigger a migraine, such as food additives often used in Chinese cuisine. Alcoholic beverages should be avoided. Sometimes a period of fasting will prompt a headache. Just the smell of perfume, flowers, natural gas, or normal cooking ardors can lead to an attack. Weather changes and high altitudes are responsible for causing migraines in some people. THE NATURE OF CONTROL - Initially, your physician should rule out temporal arteritis, tumor, or any other possible underlying disease. The goal of migraine treatment today is prevention. Ideally, avoidance of a migraine attack is preferable to treat-. ment of symptoms once migraine has occurred. Avoid the factors that prompt migraine. Make an effort to avoid stressful situations. If your headache occurs during the weekend, it may be related to late hours, overindulgence, or sleeping late! If so, you should maintain a more conservative and even-paced schedule all week. Eating regularly and avoiding the foods mentioned also will aid in prevention. Keep a detailed record of your attacks; note times, diet, odors, emotions, onset,duration, prevalence. Some headache remedies are prophylactic, and are used to prevent migraine headaches. Other medication is used to abort the attack once it has began. Always follow your physician'.s instructions and take your medication to prevent further attacks. If severity or frequency does not warrant a prophylactic regimen, then pain relievers may be prescribed to abort the attack. DON'T FORGET TO LISTEN!!

"I used to swim as a boy in these lakes, Bush tried to live in the world of the hunt in these woods. I've been around whites for many years.

"It was very difficult for me as a youth "Mother Earth is my life. I feel its to be wrapped in the skin of an Indian and �to live in the white man's world. Bush turns down a small road south of Shelbyville and steers the truck toward the first of four trap lines he'll check go there, so I came home." Time has softened some of these experiences, but even today things aren't always easy for Bush. He still runs into prejudice today. Driving, he remembers sitting in the oneroom elementary school in Bradley reading history books that seemed to poke fun at Indians. The books implied there was no history in this country before theSpanish arrived. He also recalls fighting in World War II, nearly dying twice on the battlefield, being awarded many medals and then not from whites and Indians alike. Hunters confront him in the woods, demanding to know what right he has to be there. And some people, even a few Native Americans, believe he practices a pagan, savage religion. "Some people call how I believe "bad medicine." They call me a devil worshipper." He discounts those claims. For the traditional Native American religion is the answer. He became convinced of this being able to drink in bars when he got back home because he was an "Injun." He also remembers the time in 1972 when 20 years ago in northern Wisconsin, where he had traveled to attend a large, his friends, Indian activists Dennis Banks ceremonial gathering of Native Americans. He fasted for two days at the gathering and Russell Means, asked him to come to and, with a few others, entered a sweat Wounded Knee S.D., where Native Americans had taken over a reservation lodge, a ceremonial dome-shaped tent to protest government policies. filled with white hot stone.

He tried a couple different routes through Iowa, but federal authorities followed him anq threatened him with a long jail sentence if he didn't return to Michigan. "I finally decided i t wasn't my time to fire and soon he saw in the flames faces of his brother, father and grandfather, all departed from this world. "The spirit was in evidence that day. I could never get such an experience out of of modern religion. That told me I was going the right way on my journey. �From there, I have never returned to woods like this, practicing my religion alone. But there are times when modern faith."

"They didn't notify me that they were gocan go to learn the Midewiwin ways. ing to make me one. They just presented me with the pipe." As a pipe carrier and a priest of sorts in the Midewiwin faith, Bush is in demand at various Indian ceremonies here and out of state. "I have learned much of the Midewiwin Way over the years, but there is still a great deal I know nothing about." The Midewiwin Way is basically a religion which harks back centuries, long before Columbus ever set foot on these shores, It isn't a religion in any contemporary sense. It is really a system based on a way of living, of relating to nature, a system that links all things -human, animal and vegetable--into one scheme. There are many ceremonies, the celebration of human events: healing, naming, honoring, feasting, fasting, marriage, birth and death ceremonies. Bush performs some, but is 0ot qualified to · perform others, "Most of my time, I'm just out in the For Frank Bush and otherslike him, the best method is in talking with elders, to fathers and grandfathers and by attending pow-wows and religious Indian gatherings to participate in the rich, age-old ceremonies. Bush first learned of the faith from his grandfather and now drives thousands of miles every year to take part in religious gatherings, some of them open to whites, many limited to Native Amerians. His rusty, green pickup has nearly 500,000 miles on it. The odometer has turned around four times and is well on its way to the fifth. "I have much more to learn. I'm always learning about my people, about our past, about the secrets of the pipe," he said. "That's why I go to the gatherings." Bush keeps his pipe in a green bundle with several other holy objects in the small, wood-heated home he shares with his 38-year old wife, Lois, who has his deep interest in the Native American form of worship. �The pipe bag is made out of a pant leg and filled with items Bush has picked up of the uniform he was wearing when he on his travels.

"He's making fun of me this morning. See where he left his mark?" Bush pointed to a yellow stain in the snow. "This is just like a game of checkers. I make a move; he makes a move. It looks like he's taken a couple of my kings this morning." Getting to his feet, Bush walked on, following the animal's tracks as they cut straight across a field, over a road and into dense woods.

Civil Rights Commission, is concerned about the alleged civil rights violations as a result of the treaty fishing issue. The rights of Indians to fish in treaty waters has been established under federal law and upheld by the courts. Indians also have the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of race and na national origin. When these rights are denied, individuals may file complaints with the Michigan Depart. of Civil Rights. Complaints relating to"backlash" violations will receive priority. Civil rights violations have occurred more frequently in those communities where strong feelings and opinions about treaty fishing exist. In some instances, persons who may object to fishing methods have vented their objections upon Indians who are not involved in treaty fishing. Civil rights violations have occurred in all aspects of Indian life, including employment, education, housing public accommodation and public service. Indian people have been denied public accodations, Indian school children have been harassed and unfairly treated, ant law enforcement responses to Indian complaints of violence and property destruction have resulted in unequal or inadequate service. The Commission is required by the Michigan Constitution and subquent legislation to protect and secure the equal enjoyment of civil rights of all persons without discrimination because of religion, race, color or national origin. Protected areas include employment, housing, education, public accommodation and public service. Statutory prohibitions against discrimination based on age, sex, martial status, height, weight and handicap are cited in the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and the Michigan Handicappers' Civil Rights Act, both enacted in 1977. Strong enforcement action will be taken to remedy proven acts of discrimination. We will, however, attempt to facilitate,, through affirmative programs, a better public understanding of the civil rights of all persons. Because of our responsibility and our knowledge of previous incidents, we believe it is appropriate to �FEBRUARY - DOWN SIDE OF WINTER; UP-SIDE OF SPRING, and that is the way it was in increase awareness and invite assistance in the effort to resolve our Senior Pvogram and Outreach Dept. civil rights tensions.

Nakai informs us that: The Bureau of Indian Affairs and INS are working with the tribe to complete the enrollment process which must precede the citizenship procedures outlined in the new law. Contract health services are being rendered using a voucher system. The Bureau of Indian Affairs Office has extended services to the tribe. Master plans for the new 113 acre tract are being developed. Offers of technical help and promises of grants for site development have made it possible to hope that much work can be done to build a community building and tribal offices within the next year. Developing an internal road system, water supply and sewage disposal facilities seem to be realistic possibilities very soon. Much remains to be done, however a great distance has been traveled, and there is hope for the future. Readable Resources The National Office receives many requests for different things.

(Berthrong) Resolutions from Social Justice '4Vorkshop The following resolutions were supported and passed by the majority of the participants in the Social Justice Workshop at the 1984 Annual Tekakwitha Conference: 1. The Tekakwitha· Conference meeting at Phoenix, Arizona, August 5, 1984, condemns the use of United States Indian Health facilities for the performance of abortion and sterilization procedures upon American Indian, Eskimo and Aleut patients. 2. The Tekakwitha Conference meeting at Phoenix, Arizona, August 5, 1984, expresses its shock at the action of the Arizona State Republican Convention in passing a resolution recommending the abrogation of the United States Indian Treaties. It believes that great nations, like great men and women, should keep their words of solemn promise. The Tekakwitha Conference directs its Executive Director to forward this resolution to the Chairman of the National Republican Convention later this month in Dallas, Texas. 3. The Tekakwitha Conference meeti ng at Phoenix, Arizona, August 5, 1984, urges all the nations of the world to encourage the government of the United States to respect and to observe the commitments it has made in ratified treaties with American Indian Nations, which in .return forthese commitments, surrendered to the United States the vast majority of their homelands. Furthermore, the Tekakwitha Conference asks the nations of the world to be especially concernad about American Indian Nations which have had the boundaries of the United States between Canada and also Mexico established through their homelands so that members of these Indian Nations now live in different countries and suffer the effects of such divisions. The political and military powers which established those boundaries ignored their existence. Myths and Legends of the Indians of th~ Southwest.

Barnouw) �NATIVE RIGHTS, LAND Endorsed by Pope John Paul II In the text of the most strongly-worded speech of Pope John Paul's Canadian tour, the Pope said natives have a right to a just and equitable degree of self-government and to a land base with adequate resources. He also called on them to be "a dynamic example of the proper use of nature at a time when pollution and environmental damage threaten the earth". The Pope spoke of the importance of Christian freedom"the freedom from sin and from whatever would enslave us". "Today", he said, "I want to proclaim the freedom which is required for a just and equitable measure of self-determination in your own lives as native peoples". "In union with the whoie church, I proclaim all your rightsand their corresponding duties." "And I also condemn physical, cultural and religious oppression, and all that would in any way deprive you or any group of what rightly belongs to you." The Pope said people have a right to participate in decisions affecting their lives and that right applies in both the economic and in social and political fields. "This is true for everyone", he said. "It has particular applications for you as native peoples, in your strivings to take your rightful place among the peoples of the earth, with a just and equitable degree of self-governing." "For you a land base with adequate resources is alsoi necessary for developing a viable economy for present and future generations." "You need, likewise, to develop your lands and your economic potential, and to educate your children and plan your Dakota Way of lI I I I Lile Series ~ •aFLIFE ---- future." The Pope also stressed the need for forgiveness and reconciliation, noting the historical mistreatment of natives. "It is clear from the historical record that over the centuries your peoples have been repeatedly the victims of injustice by newcomers, who, in their blindness, often saw all your culture as inferior." "Today, happily, this situation has been largely reversed, and people are learning to appreciate that there is great richness in your culture, and to treat you with greater respect." Referring to land claims, the Pope said he knows that negotiations are in progress with much goodwill shown by all parties concerned. "It is my hope and prayer", he said, "that a totally satisfactory outcome will be had." Alberta's Native Affairs Minister Pahl said the Pope's message was one "we can all endorse". Reached at home, Pahl commented after being part of the speech over the phone. "I would not take exception to any of what he said." "He mentioned past obligations, rights and responsibilities of native people. We have all consistently supported, in the government of Alberta, the idea that native people should take more responsibility in their own affairs.", "I find the message encouraging and I hope everybody ac· cepts it in a positive spirit and uses it to build on the successes we've had in the past." The Pope also made it clear, in reviewing the role of mis· sionarles in the North, that the church would continue to aid natives in their struggle for greater self-determination. "As they preach the Gospel to you, the missionaries desire to remain close to you in your struggles and problems and in your rightful striving to obtain the full recognition of your human and Christian dignity as aboriginal peoples, as children of God", he said. Catechism Series Available Ttle "Dakota Way of Life Series" by Sisters Imelda Haag and Charles Palm a catechism series for elementary school students is c~rrently available. Texts for pre-school and high school students are in process. The lessons in the "Dakota Ww, of Life Series" convey the fundamentals of Christian faith that speak directly to today's Plains Indian. Where there are parallels to be drawn between Christian teaching and Indian traditions, they are drawn. As well as incorporating Indian legends and culture with Christian teaching, the "Dakota W(ff of Life Series" uses Indian designs, Indian art, and photographs of Indian people. Although it is Dakota, several other Indian nations like the "Indian Way" For further information, or to order, contact: American Indian Culture Research Center Blue Cloud Abbey Marvin, SD 57251 !1'________________________________,_,,....................,....________________________________....______.....,.!I . ~, �• • 1ew 01n OLIVIA P. MAYNARD, DIRECTOR MICHIGAN OFFICE OF SERVICES TO THE AGING ISSUE 38 LANSING, MICHIGAN •• January, 1985 HYPOTHERMIA Hypothennia, a subnonnal body temperature condition, may occur in anyone who is exposed to cold temperatures, but the elderly are especially vulnerable because they have difficulty producing and conserving body heat. A cold environment causes the body to lose heat. If body heat is lost faster than it can be replaced, body temperature drops from its nonnal of 98.6°F. A body temperature reading of 95°F and under is diagnosed as hypothennia, a condition in which the body cannot function properly. Body processes are slowed and body functions are often disrupted. Complications increase as the body temperature falls lower. While exposure to very cold temperatures causes hypothennia to develop quickly, prolonged exposure to relatively mild temperatures may take a few days to a week before symptoms appear. A person suffering with hypothennia will have symptoms ranging from shivering and loss of finn muscle coordination in mild hypothennia to unconsciousness and heat failure in severe hypothennia. Chances of recovery from hypothennia depend upon a number of factors. An early detection is of particular importance. The victim's age and general health, the degree of internal chillinq, the duration of hypothermia, and the methods of treatment have a bearing upon the victim's ability to survive. Although most deaths from hypothennia occur in very cold environments (30°-50°F), temperatures do not have to be below freezing for death to result. Low room temperatures are dangerous to vulnerable older persons. MORE �Page 2 Those most vulnerable to hypothennia are the chronically ill, the frail, those taking certain prescription drugs, and the mentally ill. Those suffering from heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and Parkinson's disease are particularly at risk. Persons with strokes or nervous disorders have a reduced temperature sense and a decreased ability to conserve body heat. Many older people take prescription drugs, such a barbiturates, sedatives, tranquilizers, antihypertensives, vasodilators, and antidepressants which interfere with the body's natural temperature-regulating processes. No home treatment of the victim should be attempted. The victim should never be placed in a hot bath or shower, should not be given food or drink, should not be moved suddenly or handled roughly, and should not be allowed to walk or move around. The only safe mea~ure family or friends can take is to cover the victim with wann blankets until professional help is available.

Sexual abuse of a child occurs when a child is forced or tricked into sexual contact with an older person. This contact may involve the touching of the child's genitals or requests that the child touch or view the genitals of an older person. It may also involve oral-genital contact or a request that the child undress and be viewed naked or photographed in blatantly sexual positions with other children or adults. Sometimes the contact will include attempted penetration of the anus or vagina, although this may not be accomplished. Finally, it may involve having children witness the sexual activities of older people. What does "forced" or "tricked" mean? Forced or tricked sexual contact with a child can result from any of the following examples. Copyright © 1984 National Education Association of the United States • It's OK, everybody does it. • It's just a game. • I used to play this when I was your age. • If you tell anyone, I won't like you anymore. • If you tell your mom (parents), it will really hurt her (them). • If you tell anyone, I'll have to go away from here. • If you love (like) me, you'll do it for me. • This is how everyone learns about sex. • You're getting older now and I just want to check you out. • Oh, you'll enjoy it just like everybody does. Or the older person uses bribery such as • • • • I'll let you stay up late if you ... I'll let you go to the movies if you . .. I'll take you for a pizza if you . .. I'll let you stay up and watch TV if you ... • I'll give you this present if you . . . REMEMBER: To a child these statements can be very coercive and convincing although they may not seem so to adults. Why should I as a parent be concerned? You should be concerned because one out of three girls and one out of eight boys under 18 have reported incidents of sexual abuse. While parents tend to think that sexual abuse causes no lasting damage, talking with adults and children who have been victims has shown the opposite to be true. Despite its fairly common occurrence, sexual abuse was a very frightening experience for these victims. And unless they were able to get help, they . may have experienced emotional problems that may not otherwise have existed for them. While parents may warn their children of dangerous, aggressive strangers, the fact is that in 80 percent of reported cases of sexual abuse, the offender is known to the victim as a relative, a friend of the family, a neighbor. You should be concerned because parents may think of sexual abuse as one isolated incident that happens suddenly. This does happen, but more often it is part of a situation that develops gradually and may occur over and over again before it is detected. You should be concerned because parents may think of sexual abuse as a violent attack on a child, when in fact it is more frequently the result of subtle coercion as described. What can I as a parent do? Parents can learn the extent of the problem of child sexual abuse and then let their children know that • Not all adults care about children's feelings. • Children can say no to adults when frightened or confused by them. • Children have the right to the privacy and integrity of their own bodies. �Just as children need to have people to talk to about other difficulties of growing up (school problems. dating problems. etc.). they also need to know how and to whom to turn to talk about the problems of child sexual abuse. Encourage your children to discuss any of their concerns with you. What should I do if I discover that my child is being abused or has been sexually abused? • Any case of child sexual abuse should be reported to your local social or law enforcement agency. If the abuser is a family member. contacting the local chapter of Parents Anonymous or Parents United may help you with some of your concerns. REMEMBER: You are your child's best ally. You should be informed. • Do not overreact. Your reaction is very important to your child. Calm. understanding. and sympathetic listening is the best help to give your child at this time. • Talk with the child about specific details. not pushing the youngster farther than is comfortable at the time. • Make sure it is clear to the child that he/she is not to blame. • Assure the child of your protection in the future and urge the youngster to come to you right away if confused or frightened by another's actions. Do not doubt your child's word. • Young children. especially, do not have the knowledge or vocabulary to make up stories about sexual abuse. Nor do older children usually have the knowledge to make up specific details of sexual abuse. Even if a child or adolescent falsely accuses an adult (which rarely happens), it is important to consider why the youngster chose sexual abuse as the complaint. Has she or he had other sexual experiences that are of concern? Stock No. 0827-X For price information. write to NEA Profession· al Library, P.O. Box 509, West Haven, CT 06516.

Maynard, Director Michigan Office of Services to the Aging For More Information Contact: Linda Kimball (517) 373-4083 DISEASE HAUNTS SKELETAL STRUCTURE October is upon us -- that month when little folks masquarade as goblins and ghosts and gloat somewhere in the wee crevices of a dimly lit attic, musing over the practi ca 1 jokes, pranks and other mischievous doings they wi 11 hopefully employ. It's the time of year when one is almost half-expecting a skeleton to pop out of an upstairs closet. But it can also be a time of year for us to seriously consider the fitting together of our bones in their natural places -- a time also to examine a disease that haunts many a skeletal structure. Why? Well, for two very good reasons. Michigan winters can translate into bumps and bruises from accidental falls. But, for every one out of four women over the age of 60 with osteoporosis, the minor fall can result in broken hones. For people diagnosed with the disease, fractures are commonly more severe. What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a bone-thinning condition and a major cause of fractures of the spine, hip and wrist. Men, it seems, are not plagued by the disease to the same extent as women, due to their denser bon~ structure. Research indicates that fair-skinned, white women, who are thin and have small frames, are most susceptible. Also, women with a history of the disorder or who have had their ovaries removed at an early age, have a greater chance of developing the disease. What are the symptoms? The problem here is that osteoporosis develops silently over a period of many years. Without discomfort, the bones thin out until some of them break. One early sign of the disorder, however, is loss of height. As the disease progresses, curvature of the spine may occur. /l number of new methods are presently available for an accurate diagnosis including X-rays and medical devices which can assess bone loss. What should you do if you suspect you have this disease? The only true way of determining an accurate diagnosis is to consult your personal physician. Persons should be aware that this disease is treatable. Doctors can prescribe hormones, vitamins or mineral substances to retard further bone loss. Prevention of the disease is based on a combination of dietary and exercise habits. Nutrition experts suggest a diet that includes foods that are high in calcium and cutting back on protien intake to no more than 44 grams daily for women and no more than 56 grams daily for men. Regular exercise is also another important preventive measure. - MORE - �The Director's Column Page 2 Osteoporosis. It's the disease that some of us associate with Halloween. But because our bone structure is much too important to make light of, this holiday season, as those little skeletons appear on your doorstep, make a mental note to think prevention. A healthy framework can be the determinant of mobility. # # # IRONING OUT YOUR DIET lron is a Mineral Your Body Needs for Health Our bodies need food sources of iron every day. women (especially those who are pregnant) more iron.

American-fried potatoes. Smoked ham. Navy beans seasoned with ham hocks. Canned cream-style corn. Add to everything a generous sprinkling of SALT. The type of meal described above would not be uncommon in the homes of many of today 1 s older Americans. The high salt content of this meal is a throw-back to the time when meat was traditionally preserved with salt and when the greatest percentage of red meat consumed was pork. In today 1 s health-conscious society, the younger generation, it seems, pays a good deal of attention to nutritional needs, including, what constitutes a sensible amount of salt in the diet. The older adult generation, however, according to nutritionists, have retained many of the eating habits that were established in their childhood ... consuming foods high in sodium and the tendency to add even more salt at the table. SALT, while often maligned, it should be understood, is useful in the diet because it contains 40 percent sodium plus chloride and iodine. Sodium helps to maintain blood volume, regulate water balance, transmit nerve impulses and perform other vital functions. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences believes an adequate daily level of sodium should not exceed 3.3 grams. On the average, Americans consume between 6 and 18 grams daily. The meal descr~bed to you earlier in this column would approximate a sodium level of 3.1 grams. If, during that same day, you consumed another one-half teaspoon of salt (equivalent to a gram of sodium), you would have exceeded the recommended daily minimum. Why is salt intake of special significance to older people? Overuse of sodium is one factor associated with high blood pressure. And, high blood pressure, as many people know, can lead to heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. -MORE- �Sodium is found in varying amounts in most foods. Enough sodium, it is believed, can be obtained from consuming a variety of foods. A number of measures can be taken to limit intake, starting with the simple practice of checking labels on canned or packaged foods for sodium content. Some new lines of canned vegetables and vegetable juices, for instance, have no salt added. Other convenience items are also now being offered which contain substantially less sodium. Using herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of foods, in lieu of salt, is also an alternative.

Children are especially vulnerable. Stress from living with an alcoholic parent may contribute significantly to a number of childhood, adolescent, and adult disorders, including alcoholism. Treating alcoholic parents is one way of reducing their children's stress. Another way is recognizing the types of problems experienced by children of alcoholics and helping them develop effective coping skills. Unfortunately, the special problems of children of alcoholics have not been widely recognized. Research has repeatedly shown that as a group children of alcoholics have a greater number of physical and emotional problems than do children of nonalcoholic parents. This is reflected in an increase in school problems, adjustment problems, and involvement with the legal system. As the children of alcoholics become adults, they may experience increased psycholo~ gical problems (anxiety and depression) as wel 1.

The syndrome is nonexistent is children of nonalcoholic mothers. While severe cases of the syndrome are more easily recognized, less severe cases of fetal alcohol syndrome are often overlooked by parents and educators and may contribute to the child having both learning and social difficulties in school. Hyperactivity is another disorder that affects children of alcoholics more than children of nonalcoholics. The disorder, manifested by inattention and impulsivity may greatly affect the child's learning ability in school. Hyperactivity may begin in children as early as three years of age, but is often not noticed by parents until the child begins school.

Steve Pego and Rose Ann Two Crow have been doing an excellent job in teaching the youth basic preperation for future employment; work experience; and teaching many tasks related to gardening. For more information, contact our JTPA Program Staff - Dawn, Mike, Maryan, or Chris. HOW TO SAVE A BUNDLE WHILE HELPING A KID To date the youth have planted brussel sprouts; carrots; cucumbers; green beans; musk mellons; radishes; squash; sweet corn; tomatoes; and a variety of peppers. The harvest will be donated to the Senior Citizen Program. Any elder wanting any produce from the garden contact Luella. Once in a blue moon, there's a program that looks too good to be true . But sometimes there are no surprises. What I you see isI what you get. Thats t he . case with the Targeted Jobs Tax Credi t program passed by Congress to help young people find jobs in private industry. No make work jobs. Real jobs in t he real world. The incentive to business ? Tremendous savings in the form of tax credits. 85 per cent credit fo r the hiring of 16 or 17 year olds and 50 per cent for 18 to 21 year olds. It amount s to employer salary costs as low as 50 cents an hour. The crew leaders informed me that the yield should be abundant. Any community member interested in canning any of the above crop; donating mayonaise jars for canning; or help in harvesting the crop contact: Dawn or Luella.

I am a Native American Indian of Chippewa and Ottawa Tribe and I wish to make my l'!ichigan Ancestors and America proud of what I have and hope to achieve in the future. Gymnastics is one of the most important things in my life. I am 10 yrs. old and this is my 3rd yr. of gymnastics. I've always liked to run and jump, race and do cartwheels. This was very fortunate for me as I became involved in gymnastics thru a frien.fof mine named Jessica. The Gym I attend is a Christian Gymnastic Co. Our colors are red and yellow. Red is for the blood of Jesus and yellow is for the light of the world. I believe it was the Lord who has lead me to this very exciting change in my life. So, first of all I owe everything of what I am to the Lord. After every daily workout we usually have a 5-10 min. devotional period. This is the time I find I can relax from my strict workout. I usually get to the gym at 4:00p.m. and work until 8:00p.m. Mon, Tues, Thurs and ~ri. during the school yr. Sometimes I even go in on Wed, so every week I spend 16-20 hrs. at the gym. I have two coaches, Mr. and Mrs. Bolhuis, who own the gym. They each give me ~ hr. private a week also. I started uymnastics when I was 8 yrs. old in 1981. The first yr. I was in Pre-team.

Maynard Michigan Office of Services to the Aging More Information Contact: Jackie Borden or Linda Kimball (517) 373-4082 PUBLIC HEARINGS -- YOUR FORUM OR MINE? I would wager a guess that many a senior citizen has never attended a pub1 ic hearing. No, it's not a disgrace. Public hearings, by and large today are very often foreboding affairs -- quite unlike the town hall meetings of yesteryear in which our ancestors would so often partake. In our agrarian society, it seemed, no matter what the problem, the solution often lay in collectively coming together and sharing ideas until an answer was found. Whether it was a barn-raising that needed to be organized or a question of water rights, people expected and wanted to be a part of the decision-making process. Perhaps the pace of life in our complex society makes it easier now to defer to others for answers to our problems. Regardless of the reasoning, it seems today a great deal of apathy exists when it comes to getting people to act. That brings me to the point of this discourse. In June, the Commission and Office of Services to the Aging will be bringing you two public hearings on the State Plan on Aging, a three-year Plan, approaching its second year of implementation October 1. The hearings are an opportunity for people to take action. It's their chance to agree, or disagree, on priorities which have been set for serving the state's older residents. People can even offer their own ideas on issues that concern others ... issues such as health care, transportation, housing and the high cost of food and heat. The first meeting will be held Tuesday, June 12 in the 13th Floor Auditorium of _the City-County Building in Detroit, from 9:30 a.m. til noon. This time has been set aside to hear comments expressly from senior citizens. The second meeting is set for Friday, June 15 at the Lansing Senior Center, located in the Civic Center Annex in downtown Lansing. Here, seniors will be able to speak from 10:00 a.m. til noon. Public hearings function best not as a spectator sport but in an arena where there's active interchange. Thus, in planning for these hearings, we have tried very hard to establish an atmosphere wher~ people will be encouraged to - M0 R E - �speak and where they will be made to feel comfortable in expressing their ideas ... a setting much like the smaller forums the Commission has been conducting around the state in various locations as part of their monthly meetings. The process for initiating change is not as difficult as one might think. First, simply obtain a copy of the State Plan on Aging or a summary of it, both of which are available through the Office of Services to the Aging. Second, take time to read this information. Third, jot down ideas for meeting the needs of seniors which may be reinforced in this document or which may vary greatly from your own thinking. Last, but not least, we hope you would grace us with your presence and your thoughts at one of these two public hearings. If your attendance is not possible, your voice can still be heard. Put your comments in writing and mail to OSA, State Plan on Aging, P.O. Box 30026, Lansing, MI 48909 on or before June 15th. We, who've been mandated to serve as your advocates in state government, believe in your future. But, ultimately, as you undoubtedly realize, the future is your's! Thus, when I toss out the quizzical phrase, Public Hearings -- Your Forum or Mine?, I'm not really trying to be flip. I sincerely hope that the answer to this rhetorical question will be heavily weighted in the seniors' favor, as evidenced by attendance at these two upcoming hearings. And perhaps, if we're both lucky, the trappings of these meetings will closely resemble an era gone by where people were not afraid to get involved or to chart their own course. -----------------------------------------------------------------Weight clinic meets every Tuesday at at 1:30 PM, at Lexington Seniors Room (l 4) 1865 Spotted Tail leads the Peace Chiefs in uprising against U.S. troops (Flag Day) IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A JOB WE POST JOBS BAILY - ASK FOR DAWN, MIKE AND MARYAN - 774-8331 JUNE( 2) 19 24 American Indians become U.

Several years ago, while attending Northview High School, Ms. Flannigan decided on a career in engineering drafting although the field has been dominated for years by the opposite sex. She felt she had all the qualifications needed for the drafting profession. After checking all the educational avenues available in the drafting field, Shawn enrolled at the College Ave. Skills Center to start a two-year course geared for individuals desiring to enter the specialized engineering drafting occupation. Sine~ last fall, Shawn, a five-foot, dark-complected offspring of the Ottawa Indian Tribe through her mother, Judith DeWolf, has been the lone girl in a classroom of twenty-one male students, a situation she doesn't mind. "Being the only girl in the class was scary the first couple of days but after that it became routine. After the fellows realized I was serious and had the knack and ability to continue on their level, they became very helpful and cooperative," explained Shawn. This June Shawn will complete the two-year drafting program at the Skills Center. She will, also, receive a diploma from Northview High School although she hasn't attended a class there since the last term break. She completed the high school graduation requirements one semester ahead of schedule. . . Shawn is a busy girl, one that has desire and initiative to succeed in her chosen profession. Not only does she attend Skills Center class once a week (2~ hours), Shawn also enrolled at Grand Rapids Junior College this winter for a computer aide and design course and a math class. Also, through a work release program, Ms. Flannigan works in the drafting department at C. L. Frost & Son on an average of 35 hours a week. As Shawn admits, "this makes for a busy and active week, but it's the only way I can realize my goal. It's a challenge and I enjoy every minute." Because she is of Indian origin, under the 1854 Indian treaty with the government, Shawn is able to attend Junior College and other governmental or state institutions with tuition waivered although she has to pay for books and other expenses. "Shawn is one of two girls taking an engineering drafting course here at Kent Skills Center. Engineering has been and is generally considered a man's world, but that hasn't hampered Shawn," remarked Drafting Instructor Gerald Bremmer. �"Ms. Flannigan has great potential to become a good engineer. Her concepts are good and detail work is excellent. Shawn has a high interest level and never appears bored. She enjoys the work and is a rare individual. She is one of two all "A" students I have in the program this year and her chances are excellent in bucking a man's world," added the Skills Center instructor. Lew Burrows, American Indian Liaison worker for Kent Intermediate School District Vocational Education programs, has nothing but praise for Shawn's ultimate goal. "Shawn is an excellent example of what proper motivation and sincere self-interest can do for a student . She's a terrific student and individual." Shawn looks forward to her daily work at C.L. Frost & Sons . "Most of the time I work with the firm's engineers. I am gaining valuable experience and background and all of them are very helpful. A number of the company's engineers also took the drafting course at Kent Skills Center," remarked Shawn. After completing Junior College, Shawn plans to enroll in Western Michigan University's extension course, majoring in Mechanical Engineering . "It may take four or five years before graduating, but I am going to hang in there. A Mechanical Engineering career is my goal. I know the odds are great, but it's going to be worth all of the time spent," concluded the determined seventeen-year-old student. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------JUNE (21) (23) collecting the first strike to fall, FATHER'S DAY 1867 Oglala forces under Pawnee Killer attack Custer. 1880 (25) 1876 223-217.

JUSTICE and FAITH By Father Ted Zuern, S. J. United States history refers to a time in the ninetn:nth century when "The West Was Won!" The histories of American Indian tribes describe that time as when "The West Was Lost!" The statements contradict each other. Yet, both are true . The United States won the land; the Indians lost the land. The difference lies in how one views the exchange of land . Was the land merely taken by military force? Were any serious commitments made to the Indian tribes? The answers are disputed. Federal agents sought not to appear as ruthless, greedy agents out to steal Indian lands. Although they had the military force to take the lands if no other option were available, they preferred to act in a "civilized manner" and make a fair exchange. In return for the Indian lands they offered promises to the tribes that were to be fulfilled, in the romantic phrase of that age, "for as long as the rivers flow." These promises were federal commitments to protect the lands, water and mineral resources that were left to the Indian tribes, to act as trustee for any monies which might accrue to the tribes, and finally to provide health, educational and social services to tribal members, now unable to provide such needs for themselves since their resources had been so drastically reduced . The Administration is making no serious effort ·to encourage reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. However, some members of Congress are concerned . Senator Mark Andrews (R-ND) has introduced in the Senate legislative bill S.2166 which would reauthorize the Indian Health Care Improvement Act through fiscal year 1988. In the House of Representatives Rep . Morris Udall (D-AZ) has introduced legislative bill H. R. 4567 which would reauthorize the Indian Health Care Improvement Act through fiscal year 1987. There are some other differences between the two bills beyond the length of reauthorization. But, all of those differences can be resolved. Congress has at least made a move to continue fulfillment of the promises that the United States made when "The West Was Won" and "The West Was Lost." Write to your Senators! Write to your Representative! Tell them to support reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, Public Law 94-437. Ask them to make the best possible arrangement in the bill when the members of the Senate and the House come together in conference to work out final wording of the bill for reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. It was a trade. Land was surrendered; promises were made. The West was lost, but a trustee was established. Indian health, educational and social assistance was won. Although the tribes would have preferred to keep their lands, they were realistic enough to recognize that under the circumstances they would have nothing if they would not accept promises for the land. There are a few provisions that should be in the bill under any circumstances. Provision should be made for continuation of the Community Health Representatives program. This program trains qualified Indian persons in cross-cultural liaison work between medical professionals and reservation patients. It had received high praise from medical professionals and Indian patients. It should be supported. A century has passed . The Indian land has become part of states, counties and cities. But, what has happened to the promises made in return for the land? Have they been kept in a "civilized manner?" The Urban Indian Health projects meet a health need in the cross-cultural struggle of large cities where almost half of the American Indian population can be found. Their health standards are lower than those of reservation Indians. The program must continue. Moreover, the grant and scholarship program of this act deserves support. It enables qualified Indian students to study in the various health care fields and so enable Indian patients to have Indian professionals provide for their health needs. A year ago the President issued a statement on United States Indian policy. He recognized that the Bureau of Indian Affairs has a special trust responsibility to protect Indian land, water, mineral resources and monies. He never mentioned fulfillment of the promises made by the United States to provide to Indian tribal members health, educational and social aide. The Indian land has been taken. Are the promises forgotten? This fiscal year Public Law 94-437, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act , will expire. That law has been more effective than any other federal measure in raising the standards of American Indian health to the standard of health enjoyed by most Americans. Although the Administration does not give its support to programs that enable tribes to take on responsibility to direct local health care projects, such programs are in keeping with tribal self-determination. They should be mandated by the reauthorirntion legislation. Finally, ask that provisions be made for renovation and replacement of delapidated Indian hospitals. �Proposed Legislation To Reauthorize the Indian Health Care Improvement Act House Bill ( H. R. 4567) and Senate Bill (S. 2166) address a number of issues of vital importance to health care of Indian people. It is imperative that a reauthorization bill be enacted during this session of Conaress in order to insure continued funding of P. L. 94-437 (Health Care) Programs next fiscal year. Both the Sena te Select Committee on Indian Affairs and the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee have indicated their intent to actively solicit comments on these bil Is and make appropriate changes requested by the Indian community. Hearings on these bil Is wil I be conducted in March and April. Highlights of the new provisions to existing laws deal with: House P.ill: --adding rehabilitative care to the alcohol ism program --adding accident prevention programs, community health representatives, and community health aides to Title 11 health services programs --authorizes a needs-based Indian Health Care Improvement Fund that would be used to raise all tribes to level 11 of I HS health services by priority system --requires the Secretary to expend one percent of I HS health service appropriation for research --establishes an 11 Indian Catastrophic Health Emergency Fund Senate Bill: ---adding Community Health Representative and Community Health Aides to Title 11 c a tegorical health services program Copies of the discussion papers on the reauthorization of P.

Adeline Whitewolf, a member of the tribal council, is spearheading the voter registration drive. The interests of Indian people in eastern Montana have gone unrepresented in state government. Services that other Montanans enjoy, such as roads, education, and social services, are either non-existent or very poor on both the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Reservations. The Crow Tribe has just recently gained representation in the State House District 99, with the election of Ramona Howe of Lodge Grass, Montana. The newly fcrmed Northern Cheyenne Task Force will be coordinating its efforts with the Crow Tribe. The task force demonstrates an increasing awareness among Indian Tribes of their potential as a voting block. **** Election year again brings civi I rights of minorities into focus. The U.S. Justice Department has ordered San Juan County, Utah, to make voter registr"a tion and election information available in the Navajo language. Local adaptation of minority language provisions of the Voting Rights Act includes a more active recruitment effort to enlist bilingual polling place officials and interpreters. They encourage the publication of election information in Navajo newspapers, on local radio stations, and at tribal meetings. �., +~ ,---- . :1~ ~ -- 1 ~ cf) - -- 4 ~I ~ ~ ~ '* QI £ .• -0 Q) 3 41 ~ ~ " 0 ~ 'i .9 qJ .J) 4J cf) ·- q.)

Box C 60819 Represa, Ca. 95671 Dear Indian Community In re: People vs. Dittrich 2nd Crim lt44099 Help! This letter. is a direct appeal to the Indian Comrmmity of this country for help. The help I need is a donation of your time, to sit down arid write a letter in rrrv behalf to Quin Denvir, California State Defender, 107 South Broadway, Suit~e 9111, Los Angeles, California 90012-4655. Phone munber is (213) 620-5402. I am an Anishahabi/Bohemian skin, presently in folsom Prison. I was arrested 4-12-82 for the 4-5-80 shooting death of a La Puente California man. I was tried and convicted. At sentencing, the judge stated, "I believe there is a reasonable doubt to whether or not the defendent personally used the fireann and persuant to 1181. 6, I will strike the enhancement found for personal use." Under California Law, a jury found me guilty of second degree murder with personal use of a fircann, the trial judge modified the jury's verdict saying in fact I did not commit the crime, has a theory I am 3.n an accessory, yet 1 am the only person to date ever arrested, tried, and convicted of the crime. ·. · I had no co-defendents, just me. I know how Leonard Peltier feels somewhat. I am presently appealing my conviction and the State Public Defenders office is assigned to assist me on appeal. After several discussions with the Indian Brothers here at Folsom Prison, about the quality of legal assistance they recieve from various court appointed lawyers, they urged me to seek outside help if I expected another chance in the courts. So upon sound advice, I would like you all to take a few minutes to sit down and write Mr. Quin Denvir and let him know he and his collegues are under the watchful eye of the Indian Community of this country. To see that his office represents me to the fullest of their professional capacity, and if researched, prepared, a.~d presented proper, my case will be presented another trial. I am not guilty. What I am is poor with no defense bucks behind me, or hope of attaining big bucks, that it would require to hire a high power appeals attorney. So since I am somebody, a hllll1an being willing to fight for my freedom and not let myself be regarded as just another case, shuffled around as so much paper work with a deadline. I am imploring you to please give me some assistance in my plight; Your few minutes to write expressing your concern for me can literally save me amny years of my life from wasting in prison for a crime I am not guilty of. I am registered at the Fon-du-lac Indian reservation in Minnesota. "May the Great Spirit watch over us all." When you write, refer to People vs. Dittrich. My appeal will go to court , in August or September '84. MeQuetch, Warren A. Dittrich /s/ Warren A. Dittrich 8-22-83 P.S. If your tribe or Indian Center has a news paper or news letter, could you please request this letter be printed in it. / �FROM THE DESK OF: FROM THE DESK OF: BoBB IE KOSENCRANS i11. w HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SUBSTANCE ABUSE During the past two (2) weeks I have been attenpting to assess resources that may be available to Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council to further develop health service to our people. I have contacted the following agencies and individuals in reference to our efforts: A) 2! O.S.A.S./Substance Abuse Dental Screening program Indian Health Services Indian Health Care Improvement Act (P.L. 94-437) Title V, Urban Indians. Presently the Indian Health Care Act has been reauthorized at approximately 8.9 million. The American Health Care Association is requesting from the Department of Interior a twelve percent (12%) increase for additional start-up 10 projects. Grand Rapids will be included it' indeed we do our home work here with the legislative people and the agencies we are working with. With support and assistance I feel we may be able to secure start up monies for our health project. However, it is going to take a cooperative effort on the part of our total community, including non-Indian agencies and legislative people to insure that our efforts are successful. for C) I I VJE ARE LOOK ING FOR FOR ANYONE ~'JHO mAY BE INTERESTED IN AQUIRING A LICENSE FOR ~UBSTANCE ABUSE LOUNSELING, lF YOU FEEL YOU MAY BE INTEREST~D PLEASE CONTACT US AT THE COUNSEL AND l WILL BE (v()RE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, Kent County Health Department . 1) BJ s WILLIAM MEMBERTO/DIRECTOR State Health Department We need to increase our efforts to secure support and resources from the State Health Department.

This obeservation holds true whether they are executive vice presidents or the lowest worker on the totem pole. Truly mature people - those who don't allow themselves to be blinded by resentment - can sometimes find good even in the most malicious criticism. If the criticno matter how unfriendly - points out some weakness you weren't conscious of, and you take action to correct, you will h.1vc turned the intended injury into a genuine benefit. ------------------------------------- �.·:;:i~~~!~~:, : ~. 2f'~.~;:,.~, ,<"','.,., '";. !~ >...' .~ .i:-{·i;;. ~f'\~; ~-, f ~r....-,,.::~.,......!'':·~·...-·-..r '·~1'4 f:t' A~Vt4E'fAIVUtJ£$ ;\111p!11~1 .1:• •; .• t' :h' ... 1!1 1.!1"1':~"!,11111'••' ::,-"ti---~I~, /.• C-'J 0 c o Po1'Et11"1Al- To Cfl.6.1 cf \IE.SUL-1'5> L.Of.IG US,E.: Of AlW5E r1hSICAL ••UD ( \ '.1.-11· I l ;tq H'f •;, ll1•11 f'1 !

Maynard The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging For More Information Contact Jackie Borden or Linda Kimball ( 517) 373-8230 Older Volunteers Honored In May During Older Workers Month in March, I sang the praises of the older adult work force and rightfully so. It was only fitting that older workers, deserving of recognition, be acknowledged for their many contributions to Michigan's economic recovery. NOW ... MAY marks the celebration of another type of personpower which, if not for this large faction in our society, the business community as well as the public sector would suffer appreciably. I'm talking about the older adult volunteer; that person who enlists in some area of service in free will, usually without compensation. IN MICHIGAN, older adults are working in a voluntary capacity in hospitals, schools, state institutions, nursing homes, museums, community centers, churches, human service agencies, in business and in industry. It's estimated that more than 18,000 Michigan residents over the age of 60 serve as a volunteer in some capacity more than once per month. OF INTEREST to older adults may be three particular programs geared specifically to the senior citizen. THE FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM, administered jointly by the Office of Services to the Aging and ACTION, the Federal Volunteer Agency, gives older adults an opportunity to work with physically and emotionally handicapped young people. Each volunteer is assigned to work with primarily two youngsters, devoting four hours a day, five days a week. In Michigan, there are slightly more than 1, 200 foster grandparents. For their work they receive a small tax-free stipend, a hot meal, transportation to and from the job site, in-service training, insurance, and an annual physical examination. THE RETIRED SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM has 15 projects located throughout Michigan. Volunteers in this program work in a variety of settings that include hospitals, business offices, schools and libraries. Another ACTION program, OSA administers a state grant appropriated to reimburse volunteers for their volunteer related transportation expenses. Volunteers are also provided insurance, in-service training and, in some cases, a hot meal. THE SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM utilitizes older adult volunteers in Oakland, Schoolcraft, Delta, Menominee and Luce Counties. Senior Companions, for the most part, serve other older adults living in their own homes, adult foster care -MORE:. �/L facilities or nursing homes. They help their clients by shopping for them, running errands, writing letters, paying bills or other functions as needed. The volunteers work 20 hours per week and receive the same benefits as do foster grandparents. In yet another ACTION program, OSA administers a state appropriation which funds the Upper Peninsula Project. This Project provides community services to developmentally disabled older adults 45 years of age and older and the chronically mentally ill older person in non-institutionalized settings. In a demographic study commissioned by this Office several years back, one-fifth of all the aging citizens interviewed said they were not satisfied with the way they were spending their leisure time. If you or someone you know happen to fa 11 into this category, consider contacting this Office to learn more about the qualifications governing some of these programs. While we tend to concentrate on the benefits communities derive from the volunteer during National Volunteer Week (May 6-12), we should not forget that those who give of themselves also enjoy many intangible rewards. Often a smile of appreciation or a heart-fe 1t thank-you is more of a return on a persons 1 investment of time and energy than any other type of remuneration. Sound intriquing? Make good things come true for you.

So last year Shomin invited representatives from trade schools, colleges, and vocational training centers to visit Lexington School and participate in a career day for the adult education center's 300 students. The results, according to Shomin, were so rewarding, that the school held its second career day Wednesday--and invited students from all of the city's community education programs. I f Lance Shirley, Julius Lewis, Carlotte Wayashe, Steve Waukazoo, Elsie Raphael, Lexington Teacher Sue Maturkanich said Joe John, Angie Meyers, J. James Wesaw, career day is the best way she knows Brett Shomin, Cherri Gibbs, Daisy Sprague to connect students with programs that hopefully will provide careers. Many thanks to Jody Swets' and Sandy Whiteman's class for helping me with Turtle Talk; and a big thanks goes to Julie Shananaquet for putting all the labels "If we bring the schools .to the students, the schools follow-up on the contact," explained Maturkanich. She said that before the first career day, students frequently got lost in the cracks along the way between graduation and enrollment in a higher education program. on tor ,:l'!laqing.

Maynard Michigan Office of Services to the Aging For Additional Information Contact: Jackie Borden or Linda Kimball (517) 373-8230 Don't Lose Out On Tax Exemptions Senior citizens often lose out when it comes to taking advantage of state income tax exemptions because, for many, they are not required to file an income tax return and thus do not know of tax benefits available to them. The Michigan income tax exempts from taxation up to $10,000 of pension income on a joint return. Any senior citizen whose Homestead Property Tax exceeds 3. 5 percent of household income is entitled to a rebate. For incomes below $6,000, the refund is more generous. The Home Heating Credit, based on household income, can provide refunds or credits for households earning up to $14,343 yearly. A supplemental credit is available to senior citizen renters for 1983 in the event rent payments exceed 45 percent of household income. To qualify for these credits, a person must be at least 65 years of age on December 31, 1983 or be the unremarried spouse of a person who was 65 or older at the time of death. A booklet of forms (1983 State of Michigan Individual Tax Returns MI-1040) explains in detail how to apply for these benefits. Copies are available at local post offices, financial institutions and all Michigan Department of Treasury offices. If unsure how to fill out these forms, the State Department of Treasury suggests you check with their nearest branch office. Or, you may use their toll free number: 1-800-292-1983. Persons who are deaf have an opportunity to call TDD 1-517-373-9419 (in Lansing). While not a toll-free number, Treasury officials say most inquiries can be answered while the caller waits. Another option for seniors with tax questions is to contact their nearest area agency on aging. Some area agencies administer a tax counseling program. If yours does not, the agency should be able to appropriately refer you for help. When seeking help, remember to have ready social security numbers for all persons in the household; the amount of income earned (including Social Security), your bank interests, farm payments, rental income, retirement pensions, amount paid for medical insurance, taxes or rent, as well as your total heat bi 11 for 1983. # # �You can buy a man's time; )OU can buy his physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of his skilled muscular motions per hour.

Vizina, Direetor Kincheloe Health Center Indian Health Services Kincheloe Hospital Kincheloe , AFB, MI 49788 Dear Mr. Vizina: I would like to forward to you a request from myself and several other Indians in Grand Rapids and the sur: ronding areas. We are aware that Public Law 94-437, Indians Health Care Improvement Act, suppo~ts p~rt of the Indians health services at Kincheloe for non~reservation Indians. As individuals very much is need of affordable and accessible health services especially physician treatment services. We would like to invite you or a representative of your office to come to Grand Rapids at your earliest convenience and explain your program tb us. We look forward to your response, we can be as follows: Mr. Joe John 1324 Hamilton N.W. Grand Rapids, MI 49504 (616) 458-3569 Sincerely, • . Joe John contac~ed �UPDATE OF INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES On Novemberl6, 1983, a special meeting on Indian Health Services was held at West Middle School. Seventeen (17) Indians of this area who have been long active in a variety of services met with Russell J. Vizina, Director of the Kincheloe Health Services Center. Mr. Vizina had been invited to Grand Rapids, as the enclosed letter indicates, to share information on health services for non-reservation Indians. The meeting was very informative. Mr. Vizina indicated that non-reservation Indians can take advantage of the services at Kincheloe. One example of services that could be explored was free prescriptive medicines. For Indians in this area go get free prescriptions, however, would require a volunteer to drive up to Kincheloe to pick up the prescriptions. This would be economical only if a large quantity of prescriptions were ordered at one time. QuaJ ification for Services at Kincheloe In order to receive services available at Kinch~loe under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, it is necessary to present identification issued by the BIA in accordance with their role or roles. A client must also present any previous medical records. No blood line proof is required, nor is it necessary to demonstrate any economic need. Possible Goals and Objectives Currently Kincheloe offers physican treatment services two (2) days a week, and it also offers dental and vision services. Somewhere down the lines, it would seem appropriate to develop a similar Indian Health Clinic in the Grand Rapids area. It is very obvious that Indians in this area have not been able to take advantage of the free services of Kincheloe because of its great distance. It is about time that Indians of this area began to share in these important and needed services. Mr. Vizina encouraged us to pursue an effort to develop a proposal for an Indian Health Clinic for this area. It was the concensus of our group that such a clinic should be developed as a part of an existing health services provider, rather than set up as an independent center or agency to handle such services. It is about time non-reservation Indians of this area began to share in these valuable health services.

Maynard Michigan Office of Services to the Aging For More Information Contact Jackie Borden or Linda Kimball (517) 373-8230 The ABCs of DRGs! She immediately recognized the symptoms. Such cases passed through her domain, a hospital emergency room, almost every day. The shallow breathing, the acute chest pain, the pale, almost ashen complexion. Although she was no doctor, her years of experience as a charge nurse told her this could be another heart attack victim. The diagnosis on this man's chart would probably read myocardial infarction. I relay this story to you, not to discuss the problem of heart disease, but to point out how this patient, age 67, is a part of a new system that just went into effect, October 1st. This man's condition is among 467 different labelings called 11 Diagnostic Related Groupings 11 (DRGs), a system that defines what Med1care will pay a hospital to treat any one of these grouped ailments. Ordered by Congress at the Administration's request, DRGs is an effort to contain health care costs. If a hospital is able to keep the cost of treating a patient below a set price, it keeps the difference. If the cost exceeds that price, the hospital absorbs the difference. (Hospitals are paid on a per discharge basis.) Opponents of the new system suggest that, at a minimum, patients will notice fewer amenities. For instance, there may be less expensive and perhaps less desirable meals. At worst, they are saying patients may experience a reduced stay, when indeed they need to be confined for a longer period. Or they may find their access to certain treatments, limited. Yet, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) which administers Medicare, sees immediate advantages for beneficiaries. First, under the previous payment system beneficiaries in certain hospitals were responsible for the deductable and co-insurance under Medicare Part B for non-physician services furnished by anyone other than the hospital. Certain charges for non-physician activities such as radiology and laboratory procedures fall into this category. Under the new system, Medicare beneficiaries may not be charged for differences between the hospital 1 s cost of providing covered care and the Medicare payment amount. - over - �Secondly, HCFA anticipates the quality of care for beneficiaries will be maintained or improved. They feel this new system encourages specialization in certain services and may improve treatment for Medicare beneficiaries and other patients. As it acts to constrain costs, they say, the system will contribute to maintaining the affordability and accessibility of quality of care. The term 11 DRGs 11 is something you may be hearing more of in the coming months. As a consumer of health care services, you owe it to yourself to become familiar with the new regulation. Our Office will continue to monitor DRGs and keep you informed of its impact on senior citizens. While we expect patients should see no adverse effects from its implementation, should you have a complaint as it relates to your own health care, please contact the Division of Health Facility Licensing and Certification, Michigan Department of Public Health, (517) 373-2041. If your questions are related to how long a hospital stay is allowed for a given diagnosis, check with your physician or hospital administrator . 11/7/83 Me Ch r r G~V\J k'Gpids <AYld Le_x.i ~ -f-ori �REPORT ON 1983 GHOST SUPPER On November 1, 1983 the Ghost Supper on All Souls Supper was held at the Grand Rapids Inter Tribal Council. people participating pl~s The CereflX)ny was very well attended with over 70 several hundred ghosts who were invited. We tried to blend into the ceremony the different customs of the various tribes who live in this area. The Ceremony of the Ghost Supper followed this order: 1. Opening prayer and burning of food: John Bos in and George Martin 2. Death Song: John Bos in 3. Traveling Song: John Bos in 4. Remembrance Song: John Bos in 5. Veteran's Song - to remember all veteran's of conflicts and those who returned Washtenaw Singers The Ceremony was planned and organized by the Indian Cultural Planning Committee, George Martin, Chairman. Anyone interested in joining this new committee are encouraged to contact George Martin. Joe Long Moon John November 8, 1983 �QUESTIONABLE REMARKS 5. Recently, James Watt, U.S. Secretary of Interior, described members of an Interior 6. Depart. committee as "a black, a woman, two Jews, and a cripple." Many in his audience laughed, but then a storm of protest arose in the country over his remarks. This was not the first such remarks by Mr. Watt, but according to the paper, President Reagan "considers the case closed," and Mr. Watt will likely stay on as part of his administration. This fall, a professor at the U of M School of Social Work spoke to a class on program planning and discussed American heroes as part of his lecture. He mentioned such characters as the Lone Ranger, Superman, etc., and said they all had assistants. "But what do these people (assistants) all have in common?" he asked. "Think about it, an Indian, a woman, two dogs, .and a juvenile." The answer, he said, was that they're all 7. Why is the minority enrollment at this school drastically lower than it should be? Do minority students here have some amazing ability to forget or ignore such remarks as they go to class or pass other students and professors in the halls? Do they not hear the laughs or the lack of protests? What might the response of this school's administration be to this professor's remarks? I do not raise these questions to put some one down, but in hopes of beginning some positive dialogue and action around these issues. Bobbie Rosencrans Co~Chair, Native American Student Association secondary. Just as Mr. Watt's ~udience did, the initial response of most students in the class was to laugh. I'd like to pose the following questions for all of us to ponder: 1. What's the difference in these two statements? 2. What's a secondary person? 3. What is it that each group found initially funny in these remarks? 4. What attitudes might student social workers and social work professors do well to question in themselves and others? • �MORE HELPFUL HINT--------- A small factory had to stop operations If the juice from your apple pie when an essential piece of machinery runs over in the over, shake broke down.

"In the past, complaints have been filed with the Department against the Haslett, Clarkston, Watervliet, Ludington, Charlevoix, Forrest Park (Crystal Falls), Southlake (St. Clair Shores) and Bath School districts. In all of these complaints, American Indian children were allegedly subjected to harassment and/or unequal treatment because of their ancestry. Most of the matters were resolved through letters of apology, counselling of parties and/or institution of cultural awareness programs." In Sault Ste. Marie the drop-out rate is approximately 15%, with 35 Indian children leaving high school during this past school year. The contact person there attributed this rate to the implementation of a Saturday school program for absent and tardy students. Although a disproportionately high number of Indian students are required to attend (and in fact drop out instead), the attendance requirement at the school is not discriminatorily applied.

One of the most long standing of these traditions is the Ghost Supper, which originally was called the All Souls Supper. This brief article will attempt to describe how this tradition was practiced among the Little Traverse Band of Ottawas and Chippewas in the 1930's as I remember it. My grandmother, Mary Gibson, passed t~is tradition on to me and I practiced it until I left home ... The All Souls Supper was a ritual tradition in which Indians paid respect and remembered those members who had died. This ritual tradition parallels in many ways the Christian, especially Roman Catholic tradition, of remembering their dead. The All Souls Supper was held annually during the first four days of November. The elders of each family invited the guests to come to their home and eat. Each family invited was supposed to represent a particular deceased member of the inviting elder's immediate family. Each invited guest was told which deceased member he or she represented. Once the guests were seated, my grandmother before the meal was served, would take a small portion of each serving and place it in the fire of the wood burning stov~. This offering of food into the fire was accompanied by an invitation for each of the deceased members remembered to come and share in the meal. After this offering the meals were then served. When everyone had finished eating my grandmother would reset the table and set out another complete serving of food. She would cover the table setting with a table cloth. This was done to allow those deceased family members who might have been forgotten to come and eat during the night. My grandmother and the elders actually believed that they heard the table rattle when they awoke during their sleep as the deceased members came to eat. It was from this belief that this tradition came to be called the Ghost Supper. It was also during these first four days of November that another ritual tradition showing respect to one's family deceased members was practiced. The graves of the deceased were redecorated. The Indians took multi-colored crepe paper and fashioned them into flowers. These crepe paper flowers were placed in the form of a wreath on the wooden crosses which marked each grave. The wooden crosses which had weathered or were deteriorating were replaced with new crosses. One time my grandmother was questioned by a non-Indian as to her belief that deceased souls really came to eat. She responded with this question to the doubting questioner, "Do you actually believe that your deceased come up to smell the flowers which you place on their graves on Memorial Day or Decoration Day?" �The great annual Feast of the Ottawas at L-Arbre Croche known as Tu-sam wung occurred on the eve of All Saints' Day. When the early missionaries first came to this country, they realized the futility of trying to induce the Indians to give up at once their superstitions and wild demonstrations of grief over the death of their friends and loved ones. A sort of a compromise was made by uniting and participating with the church in its celebration of All Saints' Day. The celebration really began on Halloween. For on that day, the Indian hosts set-up kettles and pushed pies into the ovens for the big dinners that were to be given during the next two days. For this celebration, the Indians spared no expense. They entertained lavishly even though to do so left the hosts penniless. Although in the near future, the Indians might be cold and starving, they did not save a thing for themselves. Those who gave the feast invited one person for each dead relative that they had, besides other guests and friends. These especially favored ones were supposed to personify the departed relatives who were buried under the white crosses or cobblestone markers in the cemetary. The more they ate the better pleased were the host and hostess. The Indians incur all this expense that they may make the souls of the departed happy and the Indians believe that they can only secure happiness for the departed souls by this generous act. The ancient Indians believed that they had two souls. One they thought made the long trip to the spirit world and was no longer interested in the affairs of this life. The other soul, they believed, remained earthbound. It was for the latter soul that they prepared the rich feast. Food was placed on the graves. If it had disappeared in a few days, the Indians regarded its disappearance as a token that the dead were pleased and had eaten it. On the other hand, if at the end of a certain time, the food remained there, the Indians said that the spirits were angry and that another feast must be given to satisfy them.

NATIVE AMERICAN DANCE CLASS FOR GIRLS 6:30 - 8:30 PM - TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AT LEXINGTON - BECKY RAPHAEL - TEACHER �Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council Indian Child Welfare Program Grant No. E50Gl4200164 Programmatic Summary Report August 1, 1982 through July 31, 1983 Through coordinating efforts with other Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council programs such as: Substance abuse, outreach, employment, education and numerous public and ,private organizations/agencies that offer subsidies, and inter-action with the courts, it was possible for the Grand Rapids InterTribal Council's Indian Child Welfare program to provide services to Indian families in the five (5) county ares, thus creating conditions to prevent the unwarranted break-up of Indian families as a unit, with the children becoming wards of the court and candidates for foster care and/or adoption. Through outreach and referrals, the Indian Child Welfare Coordinator was able to provide counseling for forty (40) Indian families, The goal was to provide counseling for Thirty (30) Indian families. Services to one hundred seventy-eight (178) individuals referred through the courts, social services or Indian center programs, The goal was to provide services to one hundred fifty (150) individuals. The Indian Child Welfare Coordinator monitored cases through: eighty (80) home vists and fifteen (15) school visits. 1bere were eight (8) court hearings, of these, two (2) cases were voluntary temporary foster care, three (3) cases the children remained in the home, one (1) termination of parental rights, and two (2) cases the children were placed in Indian foster care. Contacts with various Indian families and information distributed to the community on the licensing procedures for foster care homes for Indian ' children resulted in one (1) home becoming licensed with a placement. The goal for licensing foster care homes was six (6). The Indian Child Welfare Coordinator has found that families that did become licensed or were considering foster care experienced some negative reaction, and therefore gave up. This is an area more energy will be directed during 83/84 program year, as this is a very important component for the Indian Child Welfare program. �Programmatic Summary Report continued page two Guidance and advice to fifteen (15) Indian families was our Goal, this was exceeded, and services went to twenty-nine (29) Indian families .. Services provided to Indian families as follows: a~ needed during the project year was Information/referral - one hundred twenty-seven (127), crisis intervention - fifty-four (54), certification three (3). The newly organized Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council's Parent support/ advisory group held monthly meetings in the planning, monitoring and implementing the Indian Child Welfare grant. The Indian parent support/advisory group along with various organizations/ agencies who have subsidy programs, and the court held several inservice trainings. This group also prepared an information phamplet on a brief summary of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, and the basic requirement5 and the licensing procedures for foster care. With the exception of the licensing of six (6) foster care homes, the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council's Indian Child Welfare Program exceeded the rest of the goals planned for program year 82/83. We feel this is an indication that the Indian Child Welfare Program is needed in our connnunity, and that there is a great need for the continuation of this type of program. More emphasis will be placed on the recruitment of foster care homes during the pr.ogram year 83/84, as there is a very definite need for foster care homes in our service area.

Sports fishing enthusiasts ACCESS IS COMPLETED - Dawn Anderson �INFORMATION ON ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS --FOR ANYONE SENT TO A.A., AND --FOR ANYONE REFERRING PEOPLE TO A.A. This information is both for those who may themselves have a drinking problem and for those in contact with persons who have, or are suspected of having, such a problem. Most of the information is available in more detail in literature published by A.A. World Services, Inc., and a list of recommended pamphlets and Guidelines is given on the last page of this paper. This paper tells what to expect from Alcoholics Anonymous. It describes what A.A. is, what A.A. does, and what A.A. does not do. WHAT IS A. A.? Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who once had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, nondenomination;:il, multiracial, apolitical, and almost omnipresent. There are no age or educational requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem. WHAT DOES A.A. DO? 1. A. A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service o.r "sponsorship" to the alcoholic corning to A. A. from any source. 2. The A.A. program, set forth in our Twelve Steps, offers the alcohnlic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol. 3. This program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. a. Open speaker meetings--open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is, what it does, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings, A.A. members "tell their stories." They describe their experiences with alcohol, how they came to A.A., and how their lives have changed as a result of A.A. b. Open discussion meetings-- one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience, and then leads a discussion on any subject or drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A. 's or anyone who may have a drinking problem.) c. Closed discussion meetings--conducted just as open discussions are, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A. 's only. d. Step meetings (usually closed)--discussion of one of the Twelve Steps. e. A.A. members also take meetings into correctional and treatment facilities. �f. A.A. members may be asked to conduct the informational meetings about A.A. as a part of A.S.A.P. (Alcohol Safety Action Project) and D.W.I. (Driving While Intoxicated) programs .. These meetings about A.A. are not regular A.A. group meetings. MEMBERS FROM COURT PROGRAMS Ai.~D TREATMENT FACILITIES In the last few years, A.A. groups have welcomed an influx of many new members from court programs and treatment facilities. Some have come to A. A. voluntarily; others, under some degree of pressure. In our pamphlet "How A.A . .Members Cooperate," the following appears: We c&~not discriminate against any prospective A.A. member, even if he or she comes to us under pressure from a court, an employer, or any other agency. Although the strength of our program lies in the voluntary nature of membership in A.A., many of us first attended meetings because we were forced to, either by someone else or by our inner discomfort. But continual exposure to A.A. educated us to the true nature of the illness. • .Who made the referral to A.A. is not what A.A. is interested in. It is the problem drinker who is our concern. . . We cannot predict who will recover, nor have we the authority to decide how recovery should be sought by any other alcoholic. PROOF OF ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS Sometimes, courts ask for proof of attendance at A.A. meetings. methods have proved to be sat is factory: The following 1. With the consent of the prospective member, the A.A. group secretarv signs or initials a slip furnished by the court. 2. The court furnishes envelopes available to anyone at the close of an A.A. meeting. The individual mails the envelope to the court with his or her name and address, as proof of attendance. 3. Some A.A. groups have sheets of paper with the name and address of the group. Anyone wishing to sign the sheet may do so at the end of the meeting. The secretary mails this in an envelope provided bv the referring court, clinic, employer, or other agency sending people to A. A. This reporting of attendance is not p::irt of A. A. procedure. Each attender reports on himself or herself, at the request of the referring agency. Thus, no A.A. member is revealing another's A.A. membership, and none of this information is available for publication. · THE NONALCOHOLIC ADDICT Many treatment centers today combine alcohol and other drug addiction under "substance abuse" or "chemical dependence." Patients (both alcoholic and �nonalcoholic) are introduced to A.A. and encouraged to attend A.A. on the "outside" when they leave. As stated earlier, anyone may attend open A.A. meetings. But only persons with a drinking problem may attend closed meetings or become A.A. members. Dually or multiply addicted people are eligible for A.A. membership only if one of their addictions is to alcohol. Dr. Vincent Dole, a pioneer in methadone treatment for heroin addicts and for several years a trustee on the General Service Board of A.A., made the following statement: "The source of strength in A.A. is its singlemindedness. The mission of A.A. is to help alcoholics. A.A. limits what it is demanding of itself and its associates, and its success lies in its limited target. To believe that the process that is successful in one line guarantees success for another would be a very serious mistake." Consequently , we welcome the opportunity to share A.A. experience with those who would like to develop self-help programs for the nonalcoholic addict using A.A. methods perhaps, but using the experience of the nonalcoholic addict during drug addiction and recovery. WHAT A.A. DOES NOT DO A.A. does not: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Furnish initial motivation for alcoholics to re cove~ Solicit members Engage in or sponsor research Join "councils" of social agencies Follow up or try to control its members Make medical or psychological diagnoses or prognoses Provide drying-out or nursing services, hospitalization, drugs, or any medical or psychiatric treatment Offer religious services Engage in education about alcohol Provide housing, food, clothing, jobs, money, or any other welfare or social services Provide domestic or vocational counseling Accept any money for its services, or any contributions from non-A.A. sources Provide letters of reference to parole boards, lawyers, court officials. CONCLUSION The primary purpose of A.A. is to carry our message of recovery to the alcoholic seeking help. Almost every alcoholism treatment tries to help the alcoholic maintain sobriety. Regardless of the road we follow, we all head for the same destination--rehabilitation of the alcoholic person. Together, we can do what none of us could accomplish alone. �-4- RECOMMENDED MATERIAL AVAILABLE FROM A.A. WORLD SERVICES, INC. Pamphlets: "A Member's-Eye View of Alcoholics Anonymous" "How A.A.

Its loud cawing attracted my attention. Standing there alone, I breathlessly watched it circumscribe what was to be the exact dance circle I had been in the process of laying out. It made one single flight circle and left in the same direction it~ame from, cawing loudly all the while. It was a good sign. It gave me what some call a deep down soul feeling. It had an identity for me personally - I just knew it was my Medicine crow! Indeed, it was the first of several events that were going to make our 22nd Annual Pow-Wow the greatest ever - and it surely was! In fact, I remember calling last year's Pow-Wow the best ever - well, this one was better, not perfect mind you, but much better. To see months and weeks, and finally days of planning and feverish preparation come to life like a garden bursting into bloom is perhaps that personal measure of satisfaction many of us strive for on behalf of the Lodge - labor of love is among the most satisfying kind! On this year's HONOR ROLL of Lodge Members, and LoQ.ge Friends who contributed in varying degrees to the success of our 22nd Annual Lodge Pow-Wow are the following people: JOYCE ANDRINGA GEORGE MALLETTE ROSS MORGAN EMILY DULEY JOE CARDINAL KAY MALLETTE NORMA GUERNSEY DAVE KELLEY (*)AND HIS CREW OF CETA IKE PETERS EVELYN THATCHER DON PARKER JACK DULEY PERCY ST.

Hopefully we haven't forgotten anyone. If we have, please let us know and we will make mention. On the other hand, those who weren't incapacitated by age, health, travel distance, previous un-alterable commitments or serious personal problem, your failure to offer a supporting hand is your own personal badge of honor - wear it proudly - in your closet! For those who are impressed with statistics we have a few of them like an unprecedented (43) forty-three Traders and Food Concessions, which we believe to be one of the largest turnouts for any Pow-Wow in the Grand Rapids area. We heard too most of them did very well. Attendance on Sunday has been variously estimated at 3000 to 4000 people, and surely 5000 souls for the entire weekend. Judging by the jammed 25-foot wide walk space around the dance arena - and the much overflowed parking area was double last year's crowd! Among the several 'firsts' for any local Pow-Wow was the UNVEILING CEREMONY of a three-quarter life-size portrait in oil, of CHIEF LITTLE ELK, Eli Thomas, Lodge Charter Member of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The exquisite painting by ROBERT BUSHEWICZ, Lodge member and retired Grand Rapids Public Museum artist was, judging by the outburst of applause, a truly magnificent likeness and �lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll i lllllllllllllllll ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• , •••••••••••••••••••• ~. great painting! Mr. Chris DeWitt, regional representative of u.s. Senator Carl Levin, unveiled the portrait, followed by an introduction of the artist. Words of corrunendation were given by Wag Wheeler, Executive Dire'ctor of Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal. Most impressive, however, was the HONOR DANCE AND SONG TO LITTLE ELK. Proud, but seemingly humble, Little Elk slowly stepped to the rhythm of the Honor Drum as George Martin and Frank Bush followed behind with the portrait. After one compiete circle was made, friends and well wishers fell in b~hind to continue the Honor Dance. (Note: See THE LITTLE ELK PORTRAIT story elsewhere in this issue.) Another 'first' was the COMING OF THE GRAND RIVER TROLL, who according to legend, was not only a close friend of the PUG-WUH-GEES, but before the days of the "Anglos", was a good friend to the Indians. He told them where the best place to fish and hunt was, but as the "Anglos" polluted his beloved Grand River he disappeared. Now that the river has been gradually cleaned up - THE TROLL, believe it or not, picked the Grand Valley American Indian Lodge's Pow-Wow to make his first public re-appearance among his old Indian friends in over 100 years! We believe our Pow-Wow children found one of the most heart-warming friendships in the TROLL one could ever ·imagine. Ugly as the TROLL may have appeared to some, he was a good symbol in the innocent minds of children and thus a beloved friend. Like the Pied Piper of old, he could have piped them all right into the river. It also should be an interesting example to the adults of how effective such things as Kachina Dancers and other pre-contact regalia of a legendary figure can be. Still another 'first' for an area Pow-Wow was the PUBLIC INVITATIONAL PHOTO CONTEST. Although we got off to a slow start this year with (24) paid entries, we are hopeful of seeing it grow and produce one of the first POWWOW PHOTO ARCHIVES in this part of the country. Aside from the new events just mentioned, there was of course our ANNUAL CRAFT CONTEST, monitored by Renata Butler and will be reported upon in perhaps the next issue of our News. And there was our ANNUAL ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBIT wi~h a few new acquisitions and always a slightly different arrangement. Essentially, it first of all is there to remind every Nishnahbeg they have an awful lot to be proud of. Secondly, it attracts many Chamokmons who get straightened out on Indian history and culture - and learn about the Lodge. And did you notice, we had two large Quartz Lamps permanently installed on the roof of the Exhibition Building to light up our entire dance arena? Among the (5) five Drums this year, we would have to say they.all performed in their usual super way. Singers and Drummers are indeed the true heartbeat of a Pow-Wow and no amount of thank-you's can fully express our understanding and gratefulness. We honor all of them, but especially our HOST DRUM(*) (*)THE STAR SINGERS, THE THE THE ALL (BRADLEY, MICH.) HOST DRUM JOHN BUSH, LEAD SINGER RED EAGLE SINGERS, (GR. RAPIDS, MICH.)

Knowledgeable in Indian history, love, tradition and sensitive to the ways of his people, always seems to guide the activities smoothly and intelligently - A maker of Good Feelings! Head Dancers GEORGE & SYD MARTIN never fail to put dignity and respect into a Pow-Wow and distinctively set the standard of procedure in the Dance Circle. They always beautifully reflect their pride of heritage and the traditional ways. Flag Bearer - FRANK BUSH, equally traditional in attitude and performance, creates dignity and respect in all of the opening ceremonies. Always a credit to a Pow-Wow. Weatherwise, it was almost perfect. They tell me Little Elk was so overcome with the opening ceremonies and the unveiling of his portrait that he neglected to keep an eye on the weather for us. Although the entire daylight hours were just perfect, by e.arly evening the rains moved in and pretty much brought all night activity to a halt. By daybreak, the rains had moved out and Sunday was an absolutely gorgeous day. There are many anecdotes~ interesting incidents and what have you that occur in a weekend Pow-Wow to fill several News Letters, but we leave those little gems to your own personal collection of memories. What we would rather say here to sum up our report is that THE POW-WOW HAD A GOOD FEELING! If there were any bad feelings, they were certainly overwhelmed by the good ones! As one of the Pow-Wow officials, I received a great many compliments as did other Lodge Officers from our distinguished principal participants, Singers, Dancers, Traders, Visitors and News Media. Even Co-Sponsor, City of Grand Rapids, commended us. Among Indian people, A GOOD FEELING at a Pow-Wow is GOOD MEDICINE and is a badge of honor you can't beg, borrow or steal! You either have it, or you don't. It's made up of hundreds of little parts and pieces that must all fit together - and when they do you have that - GOOD FEELING - GOOD MEDICINE. And for me personally, that's what Medicine Crow was telling me two days before the Pow-Wow as he cawed loudly around the Dance Circle. RESPECTFULLY - E. GILLIS ADDENDUM We can almost hear our stand-by critics already saying - "Well, how badly did we go in the hole this year?" Before we 'belly up to the bar' and answer that one, we wish to re-emphasize one very important long standing Lodge policy. Our Annual Anniversary Pow-Wow was never designed or intended to earn a profit. Rather, we always tried hard to manage our business so that we would come as close as possible to breaking even. In other words, keep the losses somewhat respectable. For instance, last year our losses were $162.31. Well dear friends, we over managed this year INCOME FROM ALL SOURCES - $2,620.74 ALL 1983 POW-WOW EXPENSES 2,384.50 $236.24 NET PROFIT (P.S. Until we find what surely has to be a mistake - let's all enjoy the good feeling!) * * * * * * �11111111111111111111111010111101111111111,01111 111111101111110111111101111111111111111 1111 ........................ , ....,,.....................,.......... ,,,.............. ,........ . SEPT. 1983 THE CHIEF LITTLE ELK PORTRAIT STORY Many months ago, member ROBERT BUSHEWICZ, retired artist from the G.R. Public Museum told me he wanted to paint his friend, Little Elk, and would I help secure the pictures and maybe arrange a sitting. Not only was I elated to help, but almost at once saw this as an opportunity to just maybe see the start of a series of near life size portraits of contemporary Indian leaders - people of our time, leaders of our time, distinguished Elders of our time - that much needed inspiration to our young Indian people in our time. Chief Little Elk's claim to fame could not be more profoundly established than his lifetime of 84 years of promoting hj.s cultural heritage. Pride in culture has been a way of life all his life. A deeply religious man, and traditional where it means most, he is also a well known herbal doctor among his many other talents. Keeper of legends, and a master craftsman are still other facets of this well known man whose talents and presence at Pow-Wows, conferences, religious gatherings, symposiums and meetings are in ever demand over the entire PHOTO #1 area of Great Lake states. We are presently working on PICTURE OF LITTLE ELK placing the Little Elk portrait in OIL PAINTING the Michigan State Capital Rotunda for one year. It would then be placed in a suitable public building in Little Elk's home town of Mt. Pleasant, Mich. for at least a •few months before returning "home" to hang in what is hoped to become THE GRAND VALLEY AMERICAN INDIAN HALL to be located in the Grand Rapids Public Museum. The Indian Hall would one day become an important archival repository of Indian art, books, manuscripts, films. In short, a place where young and old Native Americans could come to be stimulated, to be impressed, to do their research - in one room with one librarian. And most important of all, it would become a common goal, a common cause for regional Indian people to unite around and jointly support. The second man to be honored has already been tentatively selected the well known Odowa - Anthony Chingman, has accordingly been informed. ·:·.:; If �Financially, nothing as yet has been discussed since what we have here is what started out to be a portrait of a friend, now being promoted into a more deserving "hall of fame" type of situation by the Lodge. We have also talked to the nationally famous local artist, Paul Collins, who was impressed by the tentative prospectus just outlined and definitely did not close the door on participating in our projected program. Another local, talented artist of Indian subjects is author/artist William Kubiak who indicated he may consider it. Still another local artist is Bill Bousma. In conslusion, I viewed the Little Elk portrait just two weeks before its public unveiling at our Pow-Wow and just about had a heart attack rushing the unveiling plans to something of a respectable unveiling.

In relation to Docket 58, it is important to'know that nonreservafion Ottawa and Chipewa decendents constitute 90% of the 1836 Treaty. At Petoskey, the BIA reported that there is no distribution plan at this time. The previous position of non-reservation Indians was reached after a lengthy process of public hearings, petitions and letters of support. Over 90% of those who particpiated in this process supported the position of Bob Dominic. The major element of the Domenic position was that to be eligible for a claim. one has to be one quarter Indian on the 1910 Durrand Roll, on census or field notes. The other parties to the treaty also had public hearings to determine their position with the major difference being that one had to be one eighth Indian by lineal descent. Current confusion on the claims distribution has been created in part by the three branches of the BIA not knowing what the other is saying or doing. The lines of communication between the BIA in Washington, the Regional Office in Ashland, \~is., and the State Office at the Soo, are not always open. ln Docket 58 and l8E, the land ceeded to the Federal Government provided an original awarq of $10 million in 1972, and has been increased to $24 million in 1983. Rumors have continued to circulate from the various parties about how the claims will be distributed. It is important to recognize that the final authority on distribution is James Watt, Secretary of the Interior. The government has all our records and our research. They are currently taking the -final steps to complete a distribution plan which must first be presented to Congress, passed into law, and then signed by President Reagan. It appears that this plan will be revealed through a news release. The other elements of the plan seem to be as follows: eligible claimants will not need special identification cards and will not need any affilication with the parties to the treaty. The BIA in the Soo will do the final certification, and applications will be obtained by mail from the Soo and will be mailed back by the claimant to the Soo. Foot Note: July 11, 1910, there_ was an Ottawas and Chi pewas. Claimants had to ro11.

The statement focuses particularly on the plight of the Busby Elementary School and High School. The Tribe charges that the Bureau of Indian Affairs has deliberately allowed the facilities at the Busby School to deteriorate over the past ten years by refusing to make repairs and replace worn-out equipment, while at the same time slashing the funding for maintenance personnel so as to reduce the maintenance staff from 14 in 1972, when the Busby School Board contracted with the government to take over the schools, to 2 this year. The re- -sult was that the facilities became so dilapidated, unhealthy and dangerous that Busby School Superintendent, Dr. Ray Phipps, ordered the dormitories closed in 1981 and the high school building abandoned in 1982. The tribal statement cites a February 1983 �survey of the Indian Health Service and a Montana state school visitation team which found that serious safety hazards exist at the school which present an "imminent danger to students and faculty" and recommended the school be closed until hazardous conditions were corrected. The Indian Health Service survey found that fire equipment was uninspected and probably unuseable, that high voltage electrical wiring is a hazard to students, and that plumbing deficiencies include toilets and urinals that do not flush. The Tribe charged that the plumbing situation was so crit- ical that the American Association on Indian Affairs arranged to have a private plumber make repairs which were finally paid for by the BIA at a cost of around $375. The deterioration of the Busby School facilities has been going on steadily and has resulted in a serious decline in enrollment, which the BIA uses to justify continued denial of maintenance. The Tribe charges that the declining enrollment is a result of the deterioration of the facilities, and that the BIA's excuse is wholly unjustified. With the closure of the high school building, the Administration was forced to try to accommodate a high school program in the elementary school building. of this school year, half the high school attendees At the end dr~pped out and the total high school enrollment has now dropped to about 12 students. �The Tribe charges that if the Busby School were some other federal facility, such as a federal office building or a military base, such dilapidation would not have been tolerated, and indeed this is dramatically illustrated by the BIA's action in of remodeling its own agency offices at Lame Deer at a cost of a half-million dollars. The Tribe charges that the BIA has been di- verting money that rightfully should have gone to the Busby School and demands that the practice stop. The Tribal statement accuses BIA policies of causing rising levels of student absenteeism and dropouts and related juvenile social problems. The closure of the Busby Boarding School facili- ties has created very serious problems for Indian students who need dormitory facilities. Roughly half of the high school stu- dents who have attended Busby High School live at home without any adults and many of these students badly need a dormitory facility. There simply is no other alternative available on the ResPrvation. A recent proposal to refurbish the elementary school building will primarily result in fuel conservation and does not address the major problems of the school. At any rate, said the Tribe, it is only a band-aid on a seriously run-down government facility. The Tribal statement points out that the other Reservation schools are also suffering from federal program cutbacks. The Lame Deer school operation has been denied federal impact aid even though its daily attendance has gone up, forcing it to dip into �, its reserves and raising the very real threat that unless funding policies are changed, that school may be forced to close entirely within three years. The Labre Indian School, which is heavily supported by the Catholic archdiocese, has often been forced to borrow from the archdiocese to continue operations while it waits for the BIA to process federal funding due to the school under law. All o f these actions, charges th e Tribe, are a flagr a nt v i olation of law. Public Law 638 mandates that all fed e ral f aci l- ities operated under contract by Indian tribes, such as the Busby School, must be funded at no lower levels than when operated by the federal government. Maintenance operations at the Busby School have clearly been reduced below the level required by law. The Tribe calls on the Reagan Administration to make good its claim that it wishes to maintain gov e rnment-to-government rel a tionships with the tribes. As a beginning, the Tribe has told t h e federal government that it should honor its treaty and contra ct commitments to the tribes. The Tribe vigorously insists that there is an ongoing trust relationship to provide Indian education, and points to historic treaties with the Northern Cheyennes beginning in 1826 under which the government promised the Cheyennes education for their children. The Tribe also points to federal laws adopted by the United States Congress declaring it to �be the policy of the United States to assume federal responsibility for education of Indian children. The Tribe charges that the federal government is turning its back on its trust obligation. The Tribal statement decries the human losses which are occurring to its children and points out that tribal self-sufficiency depends critically on education as a fundamental tool. For the Northern Cheyenne Tribe particularly, an educated membership is a must. The Tribal st~tement points out that the Tribe is facing major economic decisions and the members who will be making those decisions are now passing through the critical years of childhood. says the Tribe. They cannot be placed on "hold," The Tribe demands that the Bureau of Indian Affairs act immediately to renovate the Busby School system by renovating the high school and dormitory facilities. The cost will be high, said the Tribe, because of the deliberate deterioration which has been permitted over many years. The Tribe estimates the reconstruction cost at $14.5 million, with an annual plant maintenance budget of about $970,000. In the meantime, the State of Montana has granted Busby Elementary School only provisional accreditation, and federal and state inspection teams have recommended that the facility be closed until recommended repairs are made. On June 13, the Busby School Board voted to suspend normal academic and extracurricular functions at the high school until the facilities were upgraded to �meet minimum health and safety standards, and until funds were made available to maintain and protect the facilities, and to hire and maintain staff to meet minimum academic requirements. The Tribe is sending its statement to the entire Montana delegation in Congress, to key members of House and Senate committees, to President Reagan, and to I~terior Secretary Watt.

In 1972, the Comuission entered a final m·;rard in favor of the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Funds to cover the award were appropriated by the kt of October 31, 1972. In 1973, Congress enacted the Indian Judgement Act, 87 Stat, 466, which directed the Secretary of the Interior to .ubmit proposed plans to the Congress covering the disposition of certain j gements awarded by the Indian Clairrs Corrmission and the U.S. Court of Claims, fol In an earlier recoomendation, the then Comnission of Indian Affairs proposed that the beneficiaries of the award include the Indians of the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa bands who are now affiliated with the Bay Mills Indian Conm.mity and the Sault Ste, Marie Ch:l.ppewa 'l'ribe of Indiarrn, the two federally reco~ized tribal organizations, and a third group of nonaffiliated individual Ottawa and other Chi.ppewa descendants. One issue on which there continues to be differing views airo118 the three groups is the degree of Ottawa rmd/ar Chippewa blood re~ired for persons to be enrolled. In 1978, the Bureau reconsidered its earlier rccomne.nclation and proposed a ~ degree Ottawa and/or Chinpewa Indian blood requirenent for persons to be enrolled for the purpose of dividing the judgerrent fimds ammg the two tribal organizations and the descendant group. 1he revised recorrmendation further proposes that the actual uses of the funds ~hich are to be apportioned to the two tribal organizations be planned in the future. The funds which are to be apportioned to the descendant group oould be paid in per capita shares. Until a plan beccxnes effective. 'Which is after a proposed plan is before the Congress far a specified sixty-day period, no distribution of any funds is possible. The plan will n.arre the beneficiaries of the award, the requireirents for enrollm?nt to share in the funds and how the funds are to be disbursed.

These members met in committee meetings at Room # 135, West Middle SchQol, Grand Rapids, Michigan. at 4:10 P.V. on Monday, March 21, 1983 and, again, at 4:15 P.M. on Tuesday, March 29, 1983. .. Following are a l .ist of the recommendations, tha1' the Neminaticn Committee urges the GRITC Board of Directors, to take prompt action on. By considering and following these recomrrendations, the Nomination Committee feels the nominating process and ensuing election would result in the clearest and fairest option open to the indian people of the community and to the nominees, as well. Much thought, work, and consideration was done, by the Nomina~ion Committee, in making the seven (7) recommendations in that the discussions of all possible alternatives, repercussions, amendments, omittances, alterations, wordings and laws were done with three (3) main purposes in mind: 1) Fairness and equality for the nominees. 2) Information for the present Beard. 3) Activism and interest from the indian community. Following are the recommendations. A brief elaboration on some of the recommendations are on the following pages, along with a copy of the recommended Nomination Form. 1) No absentee ballots. 2) Election Day should be June 18, 1983, a Saturday. 3) Fotential nominees' minir.ia.l age should be 18 years by May 12, 1983. (General Membership ~eeting) 4) Nominees oust provide a brief biography and statement of goals ~or GRITC to be published in the GRITC newsletter preceding election day. 5) Nominees must attend a Board Training Seminar should they win a B<Pard of Directors seat. The Board should schedule a Board Training Session as SQon as pessible after election day for new, and present, board members. 6) Norr;inees should sign a Nomination Form. (Recommendations 5 and 6 to be included items on Form) �RECOMI'<BNDATI ONS 1.) NO ABSENTEE BALLOTS. 2.) ELECTION DAY The Nomination Committee recommends that June 18, 1983 be the Election Day because it's a Saturday and there's more of a chance to get election workers, observers, and a larger voter turn-out. Also, that date doesn't conflict with any other function, as far as the Nomination Committe knows. 3.) ELIGIBILITY REQUIRE~BNTS The Committee recommencs that the minimal age of nominees be 18 years old at nomination deadline, May 12, 1983, as the nominees must be at the legal age for signing contracts, etc., should they become an 0ffice-holder vn the GRITC Board. Also, nominees rrust be i blood quantum American Indian or more and be able to provide tRngible proof, should a meQber of the Nomination Committee request it. Nominees must be on the General fuembership Rolls of GRITC before May 12, 1983. Norninees must meet the G.RITC residency req_uirement in that all nominees must reside in the city of Grand Rapids, Mi., or a five (5) county area. Those counties being; Kent, Allegan, Ottawa, Montcalm, and Ionia. 4.) BIOGRAPHY AND STATEEENT OF INDIVIDUAL GOALS PUBLISHED IN N"'1MSLETTER The Comrn.i. ttee recorr,mends to the GRITC Board tha. t this concept is vitally important in th~t it enables the General Membership to make an intelligent evaluation and judgen:ent before the election. So rr.any tirr.es, the membership doesn't know all the nominees or what the nominees stand for or what dirtion a particular nominee wants to work towards, that making an intel..J.ige:it decision is virtually impossible when election day comes. 5. ) :BOARD TRAIKING SEt•:INAR The Comrr.ittee recommends all nominees agree to Beard Training. This is to b~ included in the Nomination Form, which all nominees will have to sign. The Committee feels that this knowledge would aide future Board Members in becoming more aware and effective members of the GRITC Board. Scheduling a Board Training Session soon after the June elections for �RECOMMENDATIONS: Page 2 newly elected Board merr:bers (and then present men,bers) would greatly enhance the effeetiveness of the Board in the fastest 8.Ir:ount of time. 6.) NOMINATION FORM The Committee recommends that all nominees sign a Nomination Form. ( A copy is on following page) This would facilitate the cancida te' s idea of what is expected of her /hi;Jj 2,nd what they're getting into. Narrely, work, involvr.ient, and comrnittrnent. The Comoittee feels that those aforementioned concepts are the most important aspect of the nominees' candidacy. Hopefully, the nomination Form ',·:ould impress, on the non:inees, the importance the Nomination Committee places on INVOLVt~NT and COMMITTMENT. ?.) OAT? OF OFFICE The Co~~ittee recorrITends that the winning nominees take an Oath of Cffice when they assume their GRITC Board of Directo~s seats. This isn't a recommendation, but the Committee feels that the idea is worthy of the Board's consideration, nontheless. The Committee feels that the Oath should/could be administered at a ceremony, complete with pictures, family and friends present, and possibly a feast or pot-luck. The Committee feels that placing sorJe semblance of. importance on a new Board member would greatly enrich that member's term and committment to GRITC and to the total American Indian community.

The Michigan Civil Rights Cor..mission initiated a fact-finding mission in February regarding incidents of backlash and racial discrimination against Indians in northern Michigan. The report and recommendations of the fact-finding team will be presented to the Commission at its public meeting which begins at 3:00 'P.M. on March 14, 1983 in the Mi~higan and Huron rooms of the Grand Rapids State Office Building, 350 Ottawa, N. W., Gra..."1d Rapids, Michigan. The fact-finding team will not be present to discuss its report, according to Michigan Civil Rights Department Public Relations Director James Horn. However, Bill LeBlanc, director of the .M ichigan Commission on Indian Affairs, Ruth Bussey, Chairperson of the Title IV-A Parent Committee for Suttons Bay Schools and Nancy Kida, attorney for Michigan Indian Leqal Services, will be present to comment upon the report. The enclosed statement on "Indians, Fishing and the Economy" provides information related to this issue. For further information, contact Nancy Kida or Barry Levine at (616) 947-0122. Page 4 �INDIANS, FISHING AND THE ECONOMY "I've always been a hard worker. Like to pay my own way. Jobs're hard to find up here, real hard sometimes. There've been times I'd look and look and couldn't find work--nothing ... I started fishin' with a 12 foot boat and a three horse motor. I had one box of raggedy nets. I've built myself up from that ... "This fishing for the Indian people, it's fantastic what it's done for them. For lots of 'em, it's the first real chance they've ever had, and they're going with it. I see guys that were nothing--drunks, on food stamps and welfare... (Now) they're straightened out, working. They're looking after their wives and kids." --Ron Paquin, Chippewa fisherman The emotional issues of the highly charged Indian treaty fishing controversy are now all too familiar. _ By removing this baggage, it is possible to examine the economic impacts at the heart of the issue~ For Indian people, the economic argument stems from two unmoving bases: 1) In signing treaties with Indian tribes and bands, the U.S. government struck a deal (~igned a contract) in which Indian lands were given up in return for certain rights and considerations.. . The same arrangement between two organizations could not be put aside in a modern court of law because the conditions and obligations have become inconvenient. 2) Indian people continue to be the poorest of the poor, and to many in the northern areas, fishing represents the only chance they have to participate in the American free enterprise system. The treaty tribes are located in some of the hardest hit are~s of a depressed state. Within those areas, Indian people are the most disad~antaged of the entire population. Unemployment currently approaches 75 percent on the reservations. Families living at or below federal poverty thresholds number 45 percent of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe, 56 percent of the Grand Traverse Band and 61 percent of the Bay Mills Community. This compares to 10 percent of the rest of the nation's population. Studies also show that working Indians earn substantially less than their non-Indian counterparts, regardless of the level of education attained. At the same time, the Indian communities are growing. While three countjes of the Upper Peninsula lost population between 1970 and 1980, the BaY'Mills Community doubled because, as one resident explains, "It's better to starve at home than in the city." Page 5 �Mc~11while, a budget-conscious federal government has slashed job t.raining programs and trimmed education programs , many of which had helped Indian people. As the federa l government has encouraged states to take over many programs , it has also cncouragr'd Indian tribes to pursue self-determination and economic deveJop ment and underscored its intent by cutting $200 mi l lion from tri_bal budgets. President Ronald Reagan has said , " Economic sel fsufficiency will be the goal of my Administration , both in Indian affairs and in the nation at large. It would work to make avai lable financial, technological and management assistance which will enable tribal enterprises to develop their own projects fo r self-sufficiency. This will result in the reduction of income dependency and an increase in productive employmen t --which are the desires of Indian people . " President Reagan has also stated , "I support the fulfillment of Indian treaty rights. Where the tribes by the terms of a treaty have reserved their fishing rights , I feel those rights should be protected. This is consistent with current federal Indian law as the U.S. Supreme Court has interprete d it . " Around the country~ Indian tribes are moving toward economic independence by developing their resources . In some cases this has meant joint ventures for mineral development , severance taxes for coal extraction, and profitable resorts and bingo parlors that take· advantage of the unique tax status of reser vation lands. Other tribes have no resources but their people and have entered into industrial recruiting in an attempt t o attract industries to their areas. For Michigan's treaty tribes, a 146-year-old contract, the Treaty of 1836, and its assurance of the continued right t o fish holds out the possibility of economic self-determination for tribes an d a foothold in the American economy for individuals. At the same time, the means to that end--fishing--is ideally suited to thei r cultural tradition and allows them to make a living withou t leavinq the arPas they consider home. Most unfortunately, Indian fishing has been played off against the state's tourist economy in a series of political maneuvers on the part of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources , resulting in policy which is economically unfounded , one-sided an d short-sighted. A closer look at the bases of the state's policy reveals some flawed arguments: The state of Michigan assumes incorrectly that sport fishing and commercial fishing are mutually exclusive , despite ample evidence that the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota and neighboring Canadian provinc es have successfully encouraged both sport and commercial fishing--including p~rmission to use gillnets . Tribal leadership has maintained all along that there is room , within a properly managed fishery, for both sport and commerica l fishing, including gillnet fishing. In 1971, the state of Michigan apparently agreed. Even after the efforts to build a sportfishery were inaugurated , the state of Michigan maintained a conciliatory position l.oward Indian fishing. In 1971, a Special ~ask Force on Indian Fishin g Rights recommended to the Governor that the Commission on Indian Page 6 �Affairs work with the DNR to formulate guidelines for Indian fishing, that the DNR hire Indian people, and that the "Department of Natural Resources along with all other enforcement agencies should be called upon to recognize Indian fishing rights as prescribed by treaty and their responsibility to enforce all laws insuring these rights." This report was signed by task force chairman Richard Helmbrecht, Commission on Indian Affairs Chairman Samuel Mackety and DNR Director Ralph MacMullan, considered one of the more effective directors the DNR has had. This position was also consistent with that taken by the state of Wisconsirr; a stand which has proven workable and saved incalculable legal efforts. It appears that Michigan's subsequent abandonments of MacMullen's conciliation stance had more to do with a change of leadership within the DNR than with any shift in the legal situation. The state bases its actions on the preservation of a reported $450 million sport fishery. This figure is extracted from a study by Michigan State University economist Daniel Talhelm, who says the state has been using his figures incorrectly. Talhelm's 1979 study sought to measure the worth of the sport fishery to fishers given a choice of Great Lakes fishing or no fishing at all. In other words, if the Great Lakes were suddenly kidnapped, what "ransom" would fishing enthusiasts be willing to pay? . The resulting numbers are a measure of the sportsman's willingness to travel, buy fishing equipment, Soats and so forth. Other calculations of worth have been extrapolated from these values. These calculations of the value placed on the fishery by sportsmen are not the same as-the actual worth of the fishery. While this is an acceptable and commonly used method of determining values in the world of economists, it assumes other meanings in the outside world. The DNR has for years removed numbers from their academic contexts and used them for their own purposes. Writing in Water Spectrum after the publication of his report, Talhelm cautions that certain figures "as used here refer to values that differ considerably from the usual market values that we observe in everyday life ... " Talhelm also notes that determining the value of the sportfishery is "incredibly complicated ... Finding the value of a day's angling in the Great Lakes is much like finding the value of an acre of land: each one is a little rlifferent, and an average value is only misleading." For years, the DNR had insisted that an angler day was worth $41. Recently, during a formal hearing before a DNR hearing officer, Consumers Power maintained that an angler day was worth just $7.21 as Dne of the major points in a fish-kill case. The hearing officer determined that Consumers Power was correct, and the company paid $50,000 for the loss of fish, compared to millions of dollars the DNR claimed on the basis of its $41 figu-r e. Page 7 �Talhelm adds yet another caveat to the study in pointing out that his studies were carried out AFTER the DNR had changed its policy. "rl'he Michigan Department of Natural Resources has deliberately induced many of the recent changes. Commercial fishing has declined, while sport fishermen enjoy top quality fishing, largely because the DNR feels (emphasis added) this is the wisest allocation of the resource now and is managing accordingly. This is a value judgment: the management agency feels (emphasis added) that the value of sport fishing greatly outweighs the value of commercial fishing. The problem is that these relative values have not, until now, been documented, leaving much disagreement about the accuracy of decisions based on them." In the body of the study where the respective values of sport and commercial fisheries are being weighed, Talhelm asks, " ... is the change in societal benefits resulting from a proposed management strategy greater than the the change in societal costs?" He then answers his own question, "The values used to answer this question will almost never be by the allor-none values estimated here.". Besides Talhelm's own qualifying remarks, other researchers have additional reservations. Dr. Richard Bishop, a natural resource economist at the University of Wisconsin, is familiar with the Talhelm studies. He observes that Talhelm is utilizing complex techniques that are "somewhat experimental" and while Talhelm's - tools are sophisticated, they are not necessarily accurate. Bishop notes that "in such experimental techniques; any two economists can get different answers" using the same figures and that it would be difficult to tell which answer would be correct. "The true answer exists," he. explains, "but the techniques are imprecise.'.' Professor Robert Doherty of the University of Pittsburgh history 1 department has studied the fishing controversy . for several years. "Overall," he maintains, costs have been underestimated and ben·ef its overestimated, Lrns exaggerating the economic pay-off - of the sport fishery." At the same time, he says, "the Michigan DNR has consistently undervalued the commercial fishery." Doherty questions expenses included in the Talhelm report, arguing that some costs of the sportfishery, such as municipal expenses, have been overlooked. (The published report available to the public does not list costs used in- the study.) The DNR's use of numbers have been questioned, but so have the numbers themselves. DNR spokesmen have been widely quoted on the subject of the alleged $450 million Michigan sport fishery-a number which this paper points out was intended for academic discussions and not as a market value. Interestinolv, a study carried out by Doctors Talhelm, Bishop and others peqs the vaiue of the entire Great Lakes sport fishery, includinq Canadian waters, at $525 million, using the same all-or-none methodology. Tt doesn't take an economist to perceive an unreasonable difference between the two V?-lues. Page 8 �The DNR has also argued that the state receives handsome returns on each dollar invested in the sport fishery. As early as i970, the department stated that for $1.6 million in costs to the state, a benefit of $30 million was realized anhually from the sport fishery. Prof. Doherty, who examined the 20-volume Great Lakes Basin Framework Study for that same year, found that federal and state expenditures subsidized sport fishermen at the rate of $16 per angler. When local expenditures are added, he notes, the subsidy to anglers grows. While this paper attempts to correct the record regarding the relative costs and benefits of sport and commercial fishing, the comparison of total values becomes more meaningless in light of the fact that the sport and commercial fishery can and should exist together. Talhelm has written, "Despite the fact that sport fishing values greatly outweigh commercial fishing val~es, the greatest aggregate values can still be realized only by having both. Some important species, such as chubs and whitefish, are seldom sought by anglers. Since these species do not appear to be detrimental to the sport fish stocks, efficiently utilizing them can only add to the aggregate value of the fisheries." He adds that sport fishing pressure is extremely light in much of Lake Superior and other areas which can · be· fished commercially. What the DNR and its economists should be measuring is the incremental, or marginal, value of each lake trout made av8ilable to a sport fisherman by eliminating gillnets. Instead of trotting out the much abused $450 million figure, as if the entire sport fishery is threatened by gillnetting, why doesn't the DNR instead calculate the pressure on lake trout, since this is the only game species affected? Such data do not exist, but what is known about the state of lake trout populations is revealing. First, the impact of Indian gillnetting upon lake trout stocks has been grossly exaggerated by the DNR. Records of federal and tribal biologists reveal that incidental catch of lake trout amounted to just 16 percent last year. Second, if gillnetting has prevented the natural resurgence of lake trout stocks, then what explanation does the DNR offer for the failure of lake trout stocks in areas where there is no Indian fishing? A federal biologist recently offered an answer; the DNR has for ten years planted stocks in areas more convenient to the D~R than to the fish. As a result, fish have been returning to spawn in unsuitable areas. Third, and possibly most important, what is the "value", as economists see it, of the lake trout to sport fishermen? If the fishing public were studied in t~e same way they have been for Great Lakes sport fishing to determine what value they place on fishing for lake trout compared to other species, what would be the result? Existing polls suggest the possibilities. Page9 �The Michigan United Conservation Clubs recently published the results of a poll which sought to measure the satisfaction of its members with the state's fishing opr_:ortuni ties. While some 83 percent of the respondents wanted the DNR to stop planting lake trout in Indian treaty waters of tt_e Great Lakes, the same respondents revealed that the lake trout is hardly their favorite fish. The favorite, by a wide margin, Ls the walleye, followed by panfish, brook and brown trout, bass,, steelhead, northern pike and salmon. The lake trout con~s in a r•oor ninth--ahcad of only the lowly catfish and carp. Asked what fish they would like to have more opportunities to catch, they c....gain chose the walleye. A mere three percent wanted more opportLTiities to catch lake trout. Similar sentiments turned up in a quest i onnaire prepared by outdoor writer Gordon Charles of the Traverse City Record-Eaqle. Walleyes were the favorite again by a substantial margin, followed by yellow perch, steelhead and lake trout. A study of Wisconsin fishermen for the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute revealed that only R4 percent of anglers con• sider the lake trout their favorite fisb. The report states that "the anglers' ratings of the different trout and salmon follow fairly closely the percentages of those fish stocked in Wisconsin waters. Only lake trout seems to be stc,cked at a rate far exceedjnq its popularity with sport fishermen." This indicates either a planting of greater numbers than popularity warrants in order to re-establish the lake trout, or a bias Dn the part of DNR officers. In fact, the lake trout is not ideal as a game species. Schooling farther out and deeper than the other g2~e species, the lake trout is more difficult to catch, and iittle effort is directed toward the lake trout. According to Doherty, c:pproximately two percent of Michigan's angler days are taken up in fishing for lake trout. DNR predictions that In0ian gillnet fishing would be the ruination of the lake trout fishery have simply not. come to pass. Outdoor writer·s and anglers alike recentl~ report good -catches, this despiLe continued Indian gillnet fishing. At the Clubs, former future 45th annual convention of the Mic.higan United Conservation it was reported by that organization's publication that DNR Director Howard Tanner "minim.ized the threat to the of sport fishing from commercial netting by Indians ... " Armies of Indian fishermen did NOT take to the lakes. Fishinq is a difficult and dangerous way to make a living and for most, the financial rewards are modest. To date, the three tribes license some 168 conunercial fishers, about half of whom fish part time. These people employ an additional 99 helpers, usually on a parttimc ba~is. Most of these fishers are CDncentrated in the Upper Peninsula. Page 10 �In 1981 these tribal fishers harvested 3.4 million pounds of fish, which represents less than one-thrid of the total commercial catch by Indian and non- Indian fishers. Of the Indian portion, incidental catch of lake trout totaled just 16 percent of the treaty harvest. Tribal studies show that the typical full-time fisherman makes between $8,000 and $9,000 a year for his efforts, although there are a few large-scale operations making more money. Studies also show that Indian operations sustain higher costs of operation because of vandalism ·and the age of their equipment. Obviously, there is not a "get rich" motive in Indian fishing, as the DNR has alleged. The old saw about teachirrg a man to fish so that he can feed himself for a lifetime instead of giving him a fish so that he can eat for a day was never more appropriate than in this situation. Ron Paquin is a self-made man, Indian style, who has not forgotten what it's like to be poor: "It's hard bein .' · poor. It's a depressing way to be. My wife an I been through that. We had a lot of them days, of them years. No more of that." Fishing has been Paquin's entrance to the economic system. Responding to criticism of Indian fishing, he says, "What do they want us to do? Do they wan~ us all to be resort owners? Should I quit my fishing and go ' to the bank and say, 'Give me some money for a motel'?" While fishing has been a livelihood for individual tribal members, it is becoming a tribal enterprise as well. In 1981, the Grand Traverse Band launched a tribal trap net operation which is now being used to employ Band members and to train them in the use of trap nets. Two of these men are currently in training at the Maritime Academy of Northwestern Michigan College to become captains. The Band, in a further effort toward economic self-sufficiency has also constructed a fish processing plant. While the state and federal government have approved of these actions, local officials have been opposed, even though Indian economic self sufficiency means a reduction of the welfare burden. As one tribal attorney commented, "You know, it's strange. Whites around here have complained for years about Indians--drink too much, lazy, on welfare--but let Indians show initiative as fishermen and those same whites bemoan Indian aggressiveness." Page 11 �Arthur Duhamel, an Ottawa fisherman and vice chairman of the Grand Traverse Band describes his vision of what a well run fishery can mean to Peshawbestown: "This ]Jody of water here is all that this village needs. If it were treated as a garden, with proper management, with proper plantation of fishes ...

We would like everyone to be aware that this money is NOT to be considered income for purposes of tax, Social Security, Social Services, Child Support or Debts. The Act making per capita payments exempt from income consideration is found in P.L. 93-134, codified as 25 USC Section 1407, which reads: "None of the funds distributed percapita or held in trust under the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to Federal or State income taxes and the per capita payments shall not be considered as income or resources when determining the extent of eligibility for assistance under the Social Security Act."

Early on we set rules governing allowances for household chores, and expected that the children would come, through trial and error, to ~ake sound financial decisions based on the income they earned. As the children grew, we concerned ourselves with their social behavior, their adjustment to school, their coping skills with adolescence, and finally, with their ability to function away from the nest. Surprisingly enough, they have all made it to adulthood, save one, still living at thome. Parenting is work, with much planning for the future involved. �5 Start early on a regular exercise program. If your mobility and stamina because 1983 may have you thinking are hampered, so, too, ls your about retirement (if you're not already activity level. I bring this up, interestingly enough, retired). But,retirement planning, if successful, needs to include some of these same elements we have credence to when rearing our children. We need to reflect on the factors that contribute to well being-- some of the same principles we tried to instill in our children. For example, living healthful lifestyle is as important for a child preparing for adulthood as it is for persons, say in their forties preparing for whatever their future may hold in retirement. Like- wise, learning to plan for the fiscal responsibility of one's finances is as imporLanL in the rearing of a child as it is for the person who, as an adult, looks forward to the day he'll be able to travel, spend more time with friends, or just play golf. Most people spend an average of 15 years in retirement, but considerably less than that in planning for their Plan for where you'd like to live. If it's another city, does it have options, or business and educational opportur1i tie you' re looking for? Consider how you'll spend your time. (Behavior patterns are not easily changed--if you want a full active life,don't wait till retirement to get involved.) If a second career is on the horizon, find out now all the pros andcons of making a career change and take steps, be they through continued education, volunteer opportunities, or first-hand experience, to enhance your knowledge about that potential career choice. Make an effort to learn a new hobby and to make friends outside of your business associates. Take a close look at your expected income in retirement, then project anticipated expenses. Recognizing that we live in an inflationary world, try to develop a financial plan now that will hopefully ensure sufficient income to adequately maintain your standard of living after retirement. Think positively. Retirement does not necessarily mean "retiring from something" in the your retirement years are rewarding, negative sense. It can be perceived "as a new beginning." And for some, here's some tips gleaned from the exit will be an opportunity to meet perts---RETIREES. new people, make new friends, gain new knowledge, challenge the unStart planning early--the longer conquerable, or in some small way you wait, the less influence you will contribute to humanity.
