As you have perhaps guessed
from this week's lovely cover,
this is the Indian/Native
American issue. The bulk of
this week's writing came from
the hard· working folks at the
Evergreen Indian Center, and
illuminates several issues of
concern and importance.
Michael Lane gives an overview of the situation of
American Indians in general, as
well as at Evergreen, on page
10. Entitled "The Longest
War," his piece is spirited and
informative.
The late Mary Ellen Hillaire
left behind her a rich legacy of
thought. Don't miss "An
American Indian Study Guide"
on page 11.
Poems and photographs by
Gary Wessels Galbreath are
featured in the center spread,
and two articles by Gary can be
fOUJId in the OPtED section.
Though most of us are aware
of the numerous ways in which
• the U.S. government has
trampled on the rights of the
American Indian, it remains
crucial that we all are informed
of present·day abuses.
Background on the
"Salmonscam" issue, and the
Tidelands lawsuit of the Suquamish is given on pages 14
and 15.
Kimberly Craven gives an introduction to the Evergreen Indian Center and its activities
on page 18.
We wish to thank the Indian
Center for their great writing
and thorough cooperation, and
to invite other groups to collaborate with us in the future;
the best issues of the CPJhappen when we join forces with
others who can teach us what
they know.

Tree. Since these trees have already been
cut, the uproar seems a bit childish, like crying over spilt milk.
Perhaps the concerns of those who are
upset with ASH Tree could better be turned to the soon-to- begin clearing of trees on
campus for the new dorms to be built this
year. This project will affect the natural setting of the campus area magnitudes more
than the removal of a few trees at ASH
Tree did.
Of even greater concern should be the

of this issue. This kind of behavior is indefensible and counterproductive. No more

were cannot be resurrected. ASH Tree is
a non-issue. The real issues are elsewhere
-- on campus and on the peninsula.

managers were so concerned about the

to remove it?

Schofield, said, most of the building rot was
caused by a combination of poor building

pipes, and years of building maintenance
neglect. Moss is growing on all the roof
tops, not just those that were in among the
trees, And some of the first stairways that

about it in the Daily Olympian, I'd like to
give the real reason - the managers wanted
to avert a confrontation with the residents.
In other words, the managers knew this
was going to be unpopular and they simply didn't give a damn about it. That the
manager would shamelessly confess his
disregard for the tenants' views is perhaps
the most infuriating aspect of this affair. And finally, if the tree cutting was done
to keep rents low, why is Phoenix Properties now proposing a rent increase? You
should send your reporter back to get the
rest of the story.

efforts

Dear Jennifer;

If you don't call: A) printing photos in the
CPJ when no money was allotted for it, B)
not changing the size of the paper when
measures needed to be taken to reduce
costs, and, C)-Changing to a more expensive
("interesting", as you put it, to my mind is
a matter of taste) format "poor fiscal
management," then what do you call it?
Throughout this entire financial farce
you, through the power of your press have
continued to present the CPJ, and yOUl'8elf,
as-the innocent bystander; helpless as to the
deteriorating situation unfolding around
you. This, however, is so far from the truth
it's pathetic. At the beginning of the year,

,

continued from prevIous page

it might interest your readers to learn, you
were specifically told by the paper's financial advisor that you would experience
fmancial difficulties if you continued with
your present spending. A second warning
signal came from Stone Thomas, who told
all groups that no mid-year allocations
would, or for that matter could, be made.
Again I must ask, if doing nothing to heed
these warnings isn't considered "poor fiscal
management," then what the hell is?
But that, to me, is water under the
bridge. What concerns me most is that
throughout this whole mess you have
blatantly refused to tell both sides of the
issue. So excuse me while I clamber up on
my soapbox, but you, as editor-in-chief are
neglecting perhaps your greatest responsibility to this community. That, Jennifer,
ill what really hurts. By telling only your
side of this story, not only have you blatantly Slandered the S & A Board, but you have
infested your readers with gross propaganda which, ironically enough, you fought so
hard to protect us from just months ago.
Don't get me wrong; it's not that I don't
appreciate your maternal efforts to shelter
me from the real world -- but we're all big
girls and boys now, and we can stomach the
truth.
Thanks,

gymnasium

Dear Reader:
I feel it is important for students to consider the benefits of having a multi-purpose
gymnasium on our campus. The opinion
piece written by Paul Tyler and Todd
Anderson in the CPJ was a clear-cut attempt to denouce the athletic and recreational environment at Evergreen. They in- '
sinuated that recreational programs are a
threat to Evergreen's commitment to
cultural diversity. This is a senseless argu- '
ment. Anyone who is at all familiar with the
, recreational programs offered here is aware
of the cultural diversity that exists within
them. These facilities are open to everyone
and not only do they acknowledge student
groups on campus, they also succeed in
bringing these groups together. This is truly a coalition that promotes a sense of
community.
It is obvious that the present space
available for student recreation is inadequate. Volleyball, basketball and other programs are being held off-campus. These
programs are inconvenient for students
without transportation and the availabili-

ty of these spaces is severely limited.
The recreation complex would suit the
needs of students in a number of ways.
Students like myself find athletic and
re~reation activities physically, socially and
academically stimulating. Not only would
the building be used to provide physical
education and recreation, it would serve as
a large assembly space to hold 1,400-2,100
people as opposed to the 550 we are now
able to seat for campus functions. Among
the objectives set by its designers in 1981,
the project was to "express Evergreen's innovative educational system," while "supporting the trend in recreation and athletics
toward a greater liaison with dance and the
arts." The gymnasium would serve functions and spectator participation in theatre,
music, lectures, etc. The plan also calls for
maximum energy efficiency and minimal
maintenance costs.
Todd Anderson and Paul Tyler do not feel
this addition to our campus is necessary.
The issue is a proposal for an addition to
our campus that would provide a large
assembly and gym area, classrooms, offices
and more extensive recreational facilities
than are presently available. Because it is
not a proposal for a better library or a new
administration building, the money being
requested cannot be used in these ways.
The buIlding was part of the original plan
for our campus and although it has been the
subject of some controversy, it has also
been well-supported by the student body.
Both Washington taxpayers and students
paying out-of-state tuition who are aware
of the benefits of a new gymnasium should
not consider this proposal unreasonable.
To avoid the " possibilities of false
representation, all concerned students
should write or call their state representative ~ or ' senator.

Sincerely,
Anne Pizey
To the Community:
Our gym, the building existing in the
plans and 'n the campus model at the
library, is currently fighting for funding in
the legislature. I will not argue that we
need only a gym, but let's get real: should
we work with what we can get, or expend
our energy fighting each other and end up
with nothing? The use of the gym would be
by students. The control would be based on
student control and. commitment. A large
building that could bring the campus
together in one body would show great
potential for planning and organizing other
projects.
This gym is not Joe's gym, it is ours, and
has been in the planning stages since long

before Joe was here. The only way it can
be "Olander's Gym" is if we give it to him,
instead of using it for ourselves. I suggest
that our student body unite (that would be
scary) on a project and see it through. I
think there are enough separatist groups
splitting up the campus. What scares people about a gym? Are there jock-o-phobes
that don't feel our student body is strong
enough to use a large building for the interests of the school? Are students afraid
of their fellow students? Maybe we should
get together and discuss that. Let's find a
place where we could do that. Call it a gym,
or a campus gathering building, either way
we sorely need it.

registrars

To the Editor:
I am writing to you, and the students of
the Evergreen State College to inform you
of an opportwrlty, which is soon to be
presented to the Evergreen Community.
The Thurston County Auditor's Office
has agreed to offer two Registrar Certifica- ,
tion classes on campus in early March. This
one-hour class will enable the participation
to register other Washington State
residents to vote.
This official certification of a large
number of students as "registrars" is in
preparation for a massive voter registration
campaign which .will be sponsored by
WlllJhPIRG in the spring.
The need for an on-campus voter registration campaign is reflected in the fact that
although there are three thousand people
involved in the Evergreen C~mmunity, only five hundred citizens are registered to
vote in this precinct.
Let's turn these numbers around and

Student to speak on
Guatemalan experience

Andrea Winship, an Evergreen Library
staffer and student, spent last summer in
Guatemala working with the Guatemalan
human rights organization GAM. There,
she listeried to the testimonies of citizens,
and asked them about their involvement
with the organization. Andrea will speak
and present a slideshow this Tuesday,
February 17 at 7 p.m. in the Corner.
Guatemala, the largest Central American
nation, has long been known for the gross
human rights violations committed by its
armed forces -- so much that from 1977 to
1985 military assistace to Guatemala was
cut because the Guatemalan government
refused to follow U.S. human rights law.
Assistance was reinstated in 1985 due to
pressure from the Reagan Administration.
Andrea lived in Antigua, Guatemala, the
ancient colonial capitol of Central America.
She traveled frequently to Guatemala City for GAM meetings and the weekly GAM
demonstrations. Every Friday, GAM
members meet at the steps of the National
Palace, the seat of the government. The
organization demands that an independent
commission be appointed by the president

to investigate the disappearance of over
4,000 citizens; this a dangerous demand in
Guatemala. Several GAM leaders were
brutally murdered in 1984, and others have
received death threats for their involvement with the 2,OOO-member strong human
rights organization.

51 vote in Com Board election
Janine Thome won last week's election
held to choose a new student representative
to the Communications Board. Janine
received 34 votes of the 51 ballots cast, according to Cheryl Cowan of the Student
Communications Center.
Janine sought the position because she is
concerned about presenting a balance of
perspectives and issues at the CPJ and
thinks that the student editor should have
say during their tenure at the newspaper.
Currently she serves on the DTF reviewing the Native American Studies program
and has a contract in ethics with Dave
Whitener.

Education·
The Task Force has numerous publica'tions and pamphlets from Gay and Lesbian
organizations, public health and state and
federal sources dealing with AIDS. Some

What Reagan would like to do is eliminate
all work-study programs. This would affect
more than 600 students, as of last year's
records. He also wants a new definition of
independent student status: this would affect 25% of the students at Evergreen.
Reagan also proposes a cut of more than
27% in Pell Grants. He also is asking for a
tighter Guaranteed Student Loan program,
by going with the current interest rate a
bank charges its customers. With roughly
50% of the student body getting some kind
of aid, these cuts could affect as many as
1,500 students currently enrolled at
Evergreen.
_
Georgette Chun, director of Financial
Aid, believes it is a ploy by Reagan to keep
students from applying in a belief that
money will not be available. Chun stated:
-...0
"Financial aid funds will be there for
& students who are eligible and apply in a

timely manner."
She warns that if these cuts were to go
through, it would have an adverse effect on
Evergreen. Since Evergreen is a relatively new college, we do not have many endowments, which the larger, older schools
have. The state would help out a little bit,
but there is no way they could make up for
the cuts that Reagan's budget proposes.

The budget cuts some ~o billion dollars from
domestic programs while it increases
military spending by 3%.
What the Financial Aid office would like
to see is students voicing their opinions.
Chun stated that "if students are registered
voters, they §hould let their congresspeopie know that they are coneerned."

More than $600,000 will be cut from
Evergreen's Financial Aid programs if
Reagan gets his wish. With his new budget,
Reagan has proposed cutting almost every
type of financial aid available.

The Olympia AIDS Task Force was fonned from within the Metropolitan Community Church of Olympia in 1985 due to the
need for an organization from the Gay and
Lesbian community to deal with this
disease which is surrounded by so many
prejudices and misunderstandings.
It was felt that an organization was needed that could provide non-judgmental information and referral for persons with AIDS
arid'ARC and for those that wanted factual
infonnation about AIDS.

Recycling Center makes a difference
The recycling effort at Evergref!n has
grown tremendously since September. We
are collecting more aluminum cans, glass
and paper than ever before. New collection
containers for aluminum and glass are now
located in the courtyard between the
dorms. The program has been expanded to
include cardboard, too.
Recently, the college's stockpile of
aluminum cans and glass was picked·up and
marketed by Westside Recycling. Kirk
Haffner, the campus recycling coordinator,
reported, "Westside picked up 650 pounds
of aluminum and 750 pounds of glass, and
they had to leave some behind! This
represents a substantial savings to the college and community. For example, recycling 650 pounds of aluminum save's 2,600
pounds of bauxite ore (a depleted resource),
1,300 pounds of manufactured chemicals,
and over 14,000 kilowatt hours of electricity or 95% of the en~rgy used in the the
manufacturing process. In addition, it
reduces the amount of landfill waste and
lowers the dumping costs for the college."
Another positive aspect of recycling is
that Westside is a "sheltered workshop,"
that is, a non-profit organization that provides employment and training for mentally
handicapped persons. "It's hard to believe
that recycling can accomplish so much for
the college, community, and environment,"
noted Kirk.
.
He also wished to remind the Evergreen

community that the city of Olympia has a
recycling incentive program (information:
753-8340). If you can reduce your weekly
garbage to fit into a 10 gallon contianer, you
can reduce your rate from $10.00 to $3.00
for 2 months, plus earn money by recycling. To add encouragement, Kirk has
prepared a "recycling re-survey" that lists
all local area recyclers and what they ac-

cept. You can get your "re-survey" in the
ERC office, CAB 306B.
In the meantime, everyone is encouraged to continue their conscientious effort. By
recycling, we are making a difference. Call
x6784 or visit CAB 306B for more
information.

KAOS offers Friday workshops
KAOS 89.3 FM, the community supported public radio station located on the
Evergreen campus, is currently offering a
workshop on Friday afternoons for persons I
with independent contracts interested in'
improving their audio skills, according to
Lisa Levy, station production manager and
workshop coordinator.
"The skills being stressed in the sessions
are not entirely technical," Lisa said.
"While we do work in that area, we are
primarily concerned with the development
of interesting radio personalities, with

bringing out a person's unique style."
Lisa said that the station is looking for
a diversity of fonnats for the station, which,
in. her words, will "run the gamut...
storytellers, straight news, and especially
music documentaries. We have people on
contract bring their work in, and we also
invite anyone interested in radio to
. observe."

The Longest War "and The Evergreen Skirmi,sh
by Michael Lane, Menominee Nation

of time, for example, that the Bering Stait
myth was flrst proposed.
This myth ptirports that our ancestors
came over from Asia about 20,000 years ago
on an ice bridge. There are holes in this
myth, big enough to drive a semi-truck
through. For one thing, no Indian Nation
to the best of my knowledge has an origin .
story saying they came over via a bridge
of ice. For another, there are archeological
flnds which are well documented, and
generally ignored by the scientific community at large, dating back at least 72,000
years!
Indian children were yanked from their
homes and sent to boarding schools. If they
attempted to speak their language, they
were beaten. When they were allowed to
go home, they went back to a colonially
dependent Nation where even their
spirituality was outlawed. With all of that,
we still would not lie down and die or
assimilate. Many of us became bi-~ultural,
able to survive in the non-Indian world
while living in the Indian world. .
As we became more "educated" in the
Euro-american sense, it was assumed that
we would assimilate. In 1924, we were
declared citizens of the United States. In
the 1930's the Indian ' Reorganization Act
was passed creating Tribal Councils to

In 1492, Columbus got lost and ended up
in Indian country. Ever since, we as Indian
People have been fighting for survival in
what has become the Longest War. Contrary to popular belief, we have not lost by
any stretch of the imagination.
There are at least 160 million Indian PeopIe in this hemisphere. In what is called the
United States, there are at least 1.5 million
Indians from 'over 250 Indian Nations.
Although many of us no longer know our
language as individuals, the language is
alive for most Nations, along with our
worldview. We walk many different paths
in life, from traditional people to lawyers
to laborers to students to activists, etc., but
we all have an identity as members of Indian Nations. We are beleaguered yes, conquered no. The "End. gf ' the Trail"
stereotype with the slumped Indian on the .
slumped horse going into the sunset is far
more appropriate for the non-Indians and
their mad dash for suicide with their combination of technology and greed.
The war of genocide against Indian PeopIe has evolved over 500 years. Initially
slavery was attempted, then physical annihilation came into vogue. Disease was also
used.
When we resisted we were
labeled "savages." Of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
course, we never at- .'
tempted to wipe out
an entire.race ofpeopIe, with religion as
our backbone, no less.
As time wore on, and
we failed to lie down
and die, new methods
were used: mis, sionaries and "education." (That is not to
say that they gave up
inventing new, improved ways of trying
to kill us.)
Genocide is defined as the annihilation

and extermination of a People. The most obwas done under the auspices of the Bureau

of relocating Indians to the cities was pursoldiers attempted the flrst, missionaries
sued along with termination. Termination
attempted the latter. In the late 1800's,
was a pOlicy by the U.S. government which
after many treaties were signed in which
said that certain Indian Nations no longer
we reserved certain rights as the Inexisted, and that those of us terminated

have been "restored."
In the 1960's we reasserted ourselves as
the Indigenous People of this land. Selfdetermination was pursued in government
and education. Indian People struggled to
maintain our reserved rights, such as hunting and fishing and accessibility to spiritual
sites.
In the 1970's armed resistance to nonIndian interference in Indian Country
resurfaced, as did a stronger sense ofiden-,
tity and spirituality. It was during this time
that it came out that one-third of Indian
Women of child bearing age had been
sterilized, most without informed consent.
(Remember, this information came out only ten years ago. The attempts at physical
genocide are still going on.) It was during
thil! time that international contacts were
established.
During the 1980's we continue to work
toward self-determination in all aspects of
our lives, including education. Which brings
us to The Evergreen State College.
Evergreen is allegedly an "alternative"
institution. It is, however, still a Euroamerican ,institution. It has hundreds 'of
years of history in its institutional identity. That history is overtly and covertly
racist. The question is not: "Is Evergreen
institutionally racist?" The answer to that
is yes, of course. The real question is: "In
what ways is Evergreen institutionally
r'clcist and how can we find solutions?"
Stating that Evergreen is institutionally
racist is merely stating a fact, not pointing
flngers and trying to make people feel guilty. The desired result is that people feel a
gense of moral responsibility and change
the historical trend . Unfortunately,
Evergreen, like an alcoholic, refuses to admit it has an obvious problem, and like an
alcoholic, until Evergreen admits to its problem it can't be helped.
Institutional racism is easily established.
So is overt racism, for that matter. It is my
uhderstanding that Mary Ellen Hillare,
Lummi Nation, founded the Native
American Studies Program, with
Evergreen' reluctantly accepting it. She
struggled to maintain the program. She was
up for deanship on a few occaSions and was
passed over in favor of non-Indians. She
was constantly attacked and questioned by
the institution. When she died, the institution that helped kilj her held an honoring
dinner and said what a great woman she
was.
Some other examples are the fact that
Evergreen has no retention program and

Summer, 1971
In the past, man in his se~ch for his own image in others, his
struggle to reflect.the fact of his diversity and his outreac~ for
solutions for his daily tasks ip peace, were held on the basiS of
inner experience. Although these assumptions were matters of
belief rather than proven veri~ies, they were powerful enough to
integrate society, and to give meaning and justification to h~
experience. As we know, western science broke up this syntheSIS
through its insi~tence u~n empirical evidence. T?e validity of inner experience was denied, and thus the assumptlons themselves
became suspect. There is or seems to be a new awakening, a new
awareness as expressed and stressed in such books as: In Pur-

suit of Awareness,' Appearances and Realities, New Think,
Towards A Visual Cultufe, Man In Process, Man the
Manipulator, The Magic Animal, Encounter, Personal Space,
Teaching as a Subversive Activity, No Easy Victories, From
. Learning far Love to Love of Learning, On Becoming a Person,
Freedom to Learn, Person to Person, The Greening of America,
Future Shock, and Bodies in Revolt. The evolution-revolution of
the 20th Century man toward the Somatic Culture of the 21st Century. All appear to be coming from the outer limits of empiri~
evidence, and going toward a new intergration of knowledge In
awareness terms, wherein man's inner experience can no longer
be denied. Thus, meaning can be restored as people reach out to
another iii communication, the flrst step to understanding.
The environment required for the growth and development of
a human being capable of interpersonal communication and real
interpersonal relationships includes order, justice, peace, and
freedom conditions characteristic of the constant moving pattern
called change. There seem to be three major roles in interpersonal
communication and real interpersonal relationships namely responsibility, recreation, and rest activities that must be regarded not
as a fiction nor even as an ideal, but as the inevitable reality toward
which we are moving and within which we might join Carl Roger
in saying:
"I value it very much when I am able sensitively to hear the pain
and the joy, the rear, the anger, the confusion and despair, the determination and the courage to be, in another person. And 1 value more
than I can say the times when another person has truly been able
to hear those elements in me.
"I prize it greatly when I am able to move forward in ~h~ neverending attempt to be the real me in this moment, wheth~r It IS anger
or enthusiasm or puzzlement which is real. I am so debghted when
a realness in me brings forth more realness in the other, and we come
closer to·a mutual I-Thou relationship.
.. And I am very grateful that I have moved in the direction of ~
ing able to take in, without rejecting it, the wam~th and ~h~ canng
of others because this has increased my own capac1ty ror g'lVmg love,
without fear of being entrapped and without holding back.
"These, in my experience, are some of Cle elements which make
commmunication between persons, ~d Leing in relationship to ~er·
sons, more enriching and more enhancing. I fall ~ar short o~ ac~ev­
ing these elements, but to find myself mo~ing m. th~se ~ti?ns
makes life a warm, exciting, upeettins, troubling, satisfying, ennching,
and above all a worthwhile adventure."

Freedom To Learn, Carl Rogers

My objective now is re-creation of the American Indian who is
himself a source and who boldly points the way toward that state
of spirit necessary for man if he is to in form, style and dignity
use the human potentiality which leads from Man to Mankind. The
purpose of all these things show that a better understanding of
the living can help us to comprehend and ~ope with life today.
The following list of people serve as a bridge for a deepet:
understanding to be between peoples, teaching with their lives
the beauty and peace of another way of life. These people represent three major points of view - traditional, transitional, and
marginal -- and all are and have been active in Indian Affairs.
Beyond their activity in Indian Affairs, each in his own way has
responded to the responsible demand, "to choose the protection
of the survival of others to insure his own ability to endure." The
activity that requires a people the like of which is described in
this quote from N. Scott Momoday, who said:
"The people of the town have little need. The~ do not hanker atu;r
progress and have never changed their essential way of life. Th~ll'
invaders were a long time conquering them; and now after centunes
of Christianity, they still pray to Tanoan to the old dieties of the earth
and sky and make their living from the things that are and have always
been within their reach; while in the discrimination of pride they acquire from their conquerors only the luxury of example. They have
l188umed the names and gestures of their enemies, and have held on
to their own secret souls; and in this there is a resitance and or overcoming, a long out waiting."

Salmonscam: nineteen Indians unfairly convicted

•

In the early 1980's, a National Marine
Fisheries Service's (NMFS) study indicated
that 40,000 salmon had disappeared between Bonneville and McNary Dams on the
Columbia River. NMFS officials decided
that these fIsh had been "poached" by Indian fisherm~n. Ty prove this theory,
federal and statnaw enforcement officers
set up an undercover fIsh-buying operation
in which they approached Indian fIshermen
and induced (entrapped) them to sell the
agents fish (the "salmon scam"). Starting .
with a swat-team invasion of Cook's Landing on June 17, 1982, seventy-fIve Indian
people were arrested by federal and state
law enforcement officers. Of the nineteen
men and women tried in federal court, thirteen were convicted of felonies and nine
received prison terms of one to five years,
including a 61 year-old religious elder and
fishing-rights activist David Sohappy, who
received a fIve--year term.
The fishermen and women were convicted under federal legislation passed during the sting operation (Lacey Amendments
to the Black Bass Act) which provided for
federal felony prosecution of fishermen
violating tribal and state fishing laws.
Tribal and state laws would have treated
these offenses as misdemeanors, not
felonies. The defendants believed they were
exercising their 12,000 year old indigenous
fIShing rights and treaty fIshing rights as
protected by treaties signed in 1855 by the
U.S. and Yakima, Umatilla, and Warm
Springs Indians. They were also denied
trials in their own tribal courts for alleged
tribal offenses.
In late June, 1986, the U.S. Supreme
Court refused to review the convictions.
The nine fIshermen were ordered to report
to prison on August 8, 1986 (7 were assigned to Lompoc Penitentiary and 2 to a prison
farm near Spokane, Washington). Four
fIShermen (3 Warm Springs and 1 Umatilla)
reported to prison, but the 5 Yakima
fIshermen were arraigned on "salmon
scam" charges in their tribal court. Over
the past two months the Yakima fishermen
have been at the center of a jurisdictional
battle between the Yakima tribe and the
U.S. government as each claims supreme
authority over these cases. On September
11, a Yakima tribal judge dismissed the
tribal cases, claiming a two year statute of
limitaitons. The tribal prosecutor appealed
this decision and a heariPg date was set for
October 1.
On September 19. the Yakima tribal
police chief. \\;thout authorization. remov-

ed David Sohappy, Sr., David Sohappy, Jr.,
and Matt McConville from tribal jail and
drove them off-reservation where he handed them over ~ federal authorities. During the next six days, the Sohappys and
McConville were in fIve different jails and
are now in EI Reno Prison near Oklahoma
City awaiting transfer to Terre Haute, Indiana, and eventually to Sandston, Min:
nesota, prison 2,000 miles from home. They
were a1.so assigend to a medium, not a
.minimum, security prison: for fIshing. On
October 1, 1986, a Yakima appeals court
reversed the earlier dismist!a1, and the
Yakitna tribe is now attempting to get the
three prisoners back from the federal
government. The remaining two Yakima
defendants are somewhere on the Yakima
reservation and will appear for trial.
Later, studies by the NMFS indicated

by Barbara Lawrence, Suquamish Nation

that the disappearance of the 40,000 fIsh
was not caused by Indian fIshing, but was
the result of fluoride pollution disch.u-ged
into the Columbia River by a Goldendale,
Washington, aluminum plant. The fluoride
had interfered v.ith the salmon's homing
ability, causing the fIsh to spawn prior to
reaching McNary Dam. The missing fish -that had been used to justify the sting
operation -- had been found, but seven
fIshermen are currently in federal prisons,
and the remaining two are awaiting trial by
their peers in Yakima tribal court and are
considered federal fugitives.
In early September, "the largest single
seizure of illegal salmon in the history of our
nation and likely the world" (The Oregonian, September 3, 1986) took place. This
seizure involved 3.5 million pounds of

Suquamish Tideland rights ignored

been, at best, kicked off beaches by angry
landowners, and, at worst, have had warning shots fIred over the heads of their
families digging claims. Tribal members
often times have their clams, implements
and nets confiscated, and are cited for
trespass or harvesting over the state allowed limits. Tribal members have been prosecuted time and time again over the years
in Washington State courts for infractions
of state laws inside reservation boundaries.
The Suquamish Tribe is seeking a
declaration stating that the tidelands were
originally included in the Port Madison
Reservation and still belong to the tribe.
Also requested are monetary damages
where defendants have harmed tideland
resources, and an order preventing upland
owners from interfering with tribal use of
the tidelands. If the tribe wins the lawsuit,
the boundary of the reservation will be the
low tide waterline. Defendants will not
have the right to interfere with Indian clam
-digging. The tribe will manage the
tidelands and control development. The Suquamish Tribes foremost concern is to
sElcure primary rights of the tribe to the
tidelands. Because the tidelands have traditionally served as a focal point of tribal existence, the tribe has a vested interest in
protecting the tidelands as a homeland for
future generations of Suquamish people.
The tidelands lawsuit is not a "get-richquick" scheme; it is intended to bring
assurance to the tribe that its right to use
the tidelands will not be interfered with.
The tidelands and the free use of the
tidelands has little value to the tribe in the
sense of dollars. The value comes in preserving a way of life for tribal members and
utilizing reservation homeland. Central to
this is the religious and social signifIcance .
of the tidelands so intricately linked to
tribal life.

On April 6, 1987, the United States
Government, on behalf of the Suquamish
Tribe, located on the Port Madison Reservation, will enter into litigation in Federal
Court in Seattle, Washington. The c~, flIed in December 1982, seeks to bring an end
to the multi-decade long volatile controversy between the Suquamish Tribe and the
State of Washington, Kitsap County and
some 700 individual waterfront land-owners
within the original Port Madison Reservation boundaries.
The tidelands of the Port Madison Reservation were reserved for the Suquamish
Tribe in the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855 and
subsequent executive orders. Neither the
Suquamish Tribe nor the United States has
ever authorized the sale of any of the reservation tidelands. However, the State of
Washington has issued deeds of ownership
to non-Indian landowners of waterfront property including tidelands, even as the State
of Washington paid the Suquamish Tribe
damages during construction of the Agate
Pass bridge, further acknowledging the
Tribe's ownership.
The 637 member tribe is dependent on
their delicate environment, especially the
waterfront, for the purpcses of subsistence
and commercial shellfIsh harvesting, beach
fishing of salmon and herring" food stordge
and preservation, religious and cultural
ceremonies and celebrations, fIsheries
research and enhancement, as well as
perpetuation of our traditional way of life
in our traditional place on this earth.
On the other h~nd is the State of
Washington, Kitsap County (ironically named in honor of Chief Kitsap, a Suquamish
and adament foe of non-Indian encroachment) and 700 non-Indian taxpaying, waterfront landowners. These citizens bought
land without knowledge of the questionable

case is strong. But, it could go either way
because of three factors:
• A recent Supreme Court decision which
gives the tribe the burden of overcoming
the presumption that the state received the
tidelands after being granted statehood.
• The case will be decided by a jury,
which is likely to be non-Indian and sympathetic to land owners who have been paying taxes for over seventy years.
• The historical record is not clear or consistent on whether the United States
thought the reservation would' include
tidelands.
Recent Events
A judge for the United States District
Court of Western Washington ordered all
parties to negotiate with each other in an
effort to reach a settlement out of court.
Negotiations conducted over nine months
with the help of a mediator were unsuccessful. The state agreed to give up some
of its claim to some- tidelands, and a large
m8Jority of the defendants agreed to allow
access to tribal members for ilhellfIsh _
harvesting; but about 100 landowners refused to settle on that basis.
The judge postponed trial twice, while
settlement negotiations proceeded. A third
trial date of Jimuary 5, 1987 had to be
changed when the judge developed health
problems. On December 15, 1986, a new
trial date of April 6, 1987 was assigned to
District Court-Judge Gordon Thompson.
The-ju'dgeruIea iii'favor of the tribe on
a motion for a summary judgment. He ruled that the present Suquamis}l Tribe is the
same as the treaty tribe of that name, and
that the reservation was created by a treaty and expanded by a 1864 executive order.
The judge overruled the tribe's objection
that the case was to be heard by ajury. The
tribe is still waiting for rulings about which
issues will be submitted to the jury, and
about the extent to which the tribe's lawyer
has an opportunity to question potential
jurors regarding their opinions and
prejudices;
The judge ruled in the tribe's favor on six
motions regarding the kinds of evidence
that can be offered at the trial. For example, he ruled the defendants may not try to
show that tribal members have adopted
non-Indian culture since the treaty and that
more non-Indians than Indians live on and
own land on the reservation. For further
information about this case, contact Barbara Lawrence at the Evergreen Indian
Center, LIB 3221, x6105.0

DTF reporter corrected ·
by Gary Wessles Galbreath, Porno Nation
I t is hard for me to imagine what Ben
Tansey had in mind when he opened his
OPtED piece last week with "Okay, let us
refrain from silly disputes." He states that
no one really knows if the Native Alnerican
Studies DTF is just that, or simple a study
group. Well, Mr. Tansey, I think you are
alone in your confusion on this issue. It is
a DTF, as a part of a study group design~d
to look at specialty areas.
You stated that you admired the courage
and frankness of the representative from
the deans' area for her concerns with the
N AS program. It does not take much
courage to implement institutional racism;
only ignorance.
In reference to the issue offaculty lacking expertise in the vast array of subjects
undertaken by students, if my memory of
Evergreen's history serves me correctly,
faculty were at one time required to teach
outside of their area of expertise. The
courage comes when faculty take the initiative to do this on a regular basis.
Mary Ellen Hillaire never stated that the

program was to be a place exclusively for
Indian people. Her words were that the
Native American Studies Program was a
place for Native Americans to study, not
to study NatiV'e Americans. It takes someone as closed-minded as you to misinterpret
her words. I suggest that you look over the
twenty year plan of the Native American
Studies Program that you recently gained
access to.
Not only has Indian enrollment in the program declined, but Indian enrollment in the
entire school has declined. This is not the
fault of the program, only of the administration's commitment to cultural awareness.
Presently, there are twelve Indian students
enrolled in the N ~S program, half of the
Indian population attending Evergreen.
You also stated that institutional racism is
suspected in the decline of enrollment. Institutional racism goes much deeper than
the suspects, most of whom are of the
human form.
The fmal paragraph in your article was
the coconut icing on the vanilla cake. We
as Indian people have been forced to

Longhouse dream remains alive

understand and assimilate your
western/european culture for hundreds of
years. For you to say that we misunderstand the role of anglo culture is, by your
own definition, an act of uncoilscious racism.
We understand the role of the anglo culture
only because we have been made to in
public schools, churches, the work place,
and, yes, even at The Evergreen State College. The only cultural barrier that needs
surmounting is your inability to listen. I
knew that when you sat with David
Whitener and I last week, that everything
we were saying to you was not being heard.
When I asked why you felt the need to
write about Indian people, you stated that
your main concern was with the DTF, not
analyzing 01p" culture. Well, Mr. Tansey,
you blew jt. As a matter of fact, I do not
understand why the CPJ oontinues to
print your misconceptions and fallacies. You
stated that "God-willing" your article
would be printed. As far as I am concerned, that is the only reason that it even
reached the pages. Wait a minute, does that
mean that God is a __ ... 0

by Gary Wessels Galbreath, Pomo Nation
The dream of building a Longhouse at
Evergreen began with faculty members in
the Native American Studies Program, one
of whom was Mary Ellen Hillaire (Lummi
Nation)~ Dedicated to the cause of having
a traditional place for 1ndian people to
study,and work, she spent many hours tryiDg to convince .the administration of the importance of building a Longhouse. Because
of present faculty members of the Native
American Studies Program, students, and
staff members, this dream remains alive.
The Board of Trustees has encouraged
the Longhouse'committee to continue their
work and begin funQrajsing. At a June 10,
1982 meeting, the board made the following statement: "Resolved that the Board
of Trustees of The Evergreen State College
endorses in principle the concept of a traditional Indian Longhouse on the campus for
the primary use of the academic program
of the college ... " The key word in that state-

Elder's Circle Statement
The follO'Wing is a communique that was
issued in 1981 by the Elders Circle, a group
that is composed of traditional elderBfrom
many different Indian Nations. It was
presented at the American Indian International Tribunal; held at -DeganiwidahQuetzolcoatl Uni1!ersity (DQU)- It is
printed here in the hopes that people look.ing for spiritual direction will not be
misled.

~

,

The elders responsible for the ceremonies
and sacred objects gathered at this
Tribunal make these specific additions to
the elders communiques concerning
medicine, and medicine men and women.
We emphasize this point: that Indian
medicine and ceremoniel! are not for sale,
and the sacred sites -- the ancient places,
the springs, waters, mountains and l;mds
-- are not for sale. They belong to the
original peoples of these lands and islands.
Spirituality is the foundation of our nations. Therefore, we must respect our ways;
we must not be the transgressors of our
ways.
Meetings should start with a ceremony
or greeting to the Great Creator, sacred
fU'es t>hould be kept clean throughout. such

.,

meetings and such meetings and gatherings
functioning under the natural laws will in
itself give guidance to the people. Cedar,
sweet grass, tobacco, corn meal or any
spiritual substance of our people must be
treated with respect because this is what
has been given to us for communication
with the Creation.
To the hunters we say do not kill our
sacred animals and birds. Do not sell their
skins and feathers for profit. Gather them
in a proper way with respect and ceremony_
Since the young are swift and strong we
place the welfare of the animals, birds, and
fish in your hands to protect and cherish_
They arc part of our family.
The women hold power of life and are the
mothers of our nations; therefore, learn the
ceremonies and know when it is your moon
and when you may enter certain
ceremonies and when you should not.
Feathers are sacred, especially eagle
.feathers. All nations have their own ways
concerning the USE' and wearing of these
feathers. Find out what the traditions and
laws are, and abide by them.
There are powerful medicines that come
from Etanohaw 6ur MQther Earth. Do not
use or abuse them. They must only be us-

ment is principle. To date, neither the college administration nor the Board of
Trustees have made much more than a commitment in principle to the building of a
Longhouse at Evergreen. In a place that
boasts of cultural diversity, one has to
wonder why it has taken so many years for
Mary Ellen Hillaire's dream to become a
reality.
There has been talk of submitting the project to the Legislature for funding, but considering how long the multi-purpose
building has been on the chopping block, I
doubt that they will take the idea of a traditional place to study and hold ceremony too
seriously. Many people seem to agree that
the Longhouse will enhance Evergreen's
cultural awareness, yet little commitment
has been made to implefllent this dream.
,In 1983, then-provost Byron Youtz ex- ·
pressed his support of the importance of the
presence of a ' Longhouse at Evergreen,
stating that it would en"able the college to
better serve Indian students. "This com-

.~"--"~.·IP~·"~~!"I·""!.Ii>.·""~.IIlI·"~'1W

ed for their proper purposes and only with
the true spiritual people entrusted with
their use. Individual Use ana abuse can be
destructive to those people violating the
medicines.
We the elders ask tliat our medicine men
do not give to or bless pIpes for non-Indian
peoples or instruct them in their use -- we
are informed that th~~ pipes and instructions are carried to foreign nations, and
cere"\onies are caJTied out in our way with
our satted pipes by -non-Indians. '
To our friends ~d people who are not Indians, natives, or indeigenous people, we
ask you to challenge those ' who sell our
religion and religious pipes, stone jewelry,
masks, feathers and other sacred objects.
We ask you to challenge those who hold
seminars on "Indian medicine," who "sell"
sweatlodges and other ceremonies.
And we again warn you that these "instant pipe carriers" and "instant medicine
people" can at bE>st provide a meaningless
diversion and at worst bring gr~at harm
and even death to eager and unaware
people.
Now to those who are doing these things
we send our third warning. Our elders ask,

bination of a traditional Native Longhouse
and a modem, state-supported college will
be virtually unique in the country. It will
represent to the Native American society,
as well as to the people of other cultures,
the commitment of the college to Native
American Studies and to quality education
for Indian students in a culturally diverse
world .. .It will provide an excellent opportunity to students from the predominate
culture to experience cultural diversity and
learn from the richness of other cultures."
During the Tribute to Japan this past
January, President Joseph Olander stated
that events such as the· one that took place
that day were important to the concept of
cultural awareness to the Evergreen community. Yet, the idea of a Longhouse remains a dream in the hearts of I ndian people here. It may remain a dream for a long
period, but our dreams will not die, unlike
the commitment of the college that thenProvost Youtz spoke of in 1983.
In a 1984 report by the Board of'l'rnstees,
they stated that drumming and singing
could pose aproblem for neighbors. They
express the concern for cultural awareness,
yet rescind their commitment with
statements contrary to cultural awareness.
In the same report they state that the
Longhouse will help to attract Indian
students to Evergreen. While this is true,
recruitment and retention is a commitment
that should come from the administration,
not from a dream. One Indian student
. reflecting on the Longhouse project said
recently, "It gives the administration
something to talk about when asked what
they are doing in support of Indian people
and cultural awareness. If it were built,
they wouldn't have any examples to use."
Mary Ellen Hillaire said in one of the
Longhouse planning meetings: "The need
for the Longhouse has its roots in the
treaties which have to dat'e not been fulfIlled. Its purpose is to develop an alternative
education system, parallel to the traditional
system, which is drawn to the values and
is sustained by the life-styles that have
come out of the many cultures. This is the
context that will be utilized to establish the
educational process which will be developed
in the Longhouse."
If you have questions or input, come to
the Longhouse meetings held every
Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. in Library
1414. It is up to us, the members of the
Evergreen community, to ensure that Mary
Ellen Hillaire's dream remains alive.O

EIe promotes sovereignty,
self-determ i nation

by Kimberly Craven, Sisseton.Wapehton
Dakota (Sioux) Nation
Attending college can be a lonely experience. A sense of community -- an oft
a missed reality. Feeling that one is not enmissed reality. Feeling that one is not entirely alone can be the difference between
success and failure in a strange and new environment. It is that sought-after sense of
community that the Evergreen Indian
Center strives to create among Indian people at Evergreen.
The Center, housed on the 3rd floor of the
library, is funded by S & A mon~y. A mission statement required by the S & A board
reads, "The Evergreen Indian Center was
created primarily to serve the needs of the
American Indian and Alaskan Native
students at Evergreen which were not being met through already existing channels.
EIC seeks to promote sovereignty and selfdetermination among all indigenous
people."
Two part-time co-coordinators staff the
office, working along with a group of
volunteers to plan the Center's activities.
EIC is part of the First People's Coalition

and works along with, the Coalition to sponsor culturally diverse events. The EIC office is open and accessible most of the time
to Indian students. In addition, the EIC
seeks to provide culturally specifi<; peer
counseling and academic advising. Vast files
of information on Indian issues are available
for use by the entire Evergreen
Community_
EIC also offers educational opportunities for the Indian and non-Indian com-

munity. So far this school year, EIC has
sponsored events featuring noted Hopi
spokesperson Thomas Banyaca; American
Indian movement founder Dennis Banks;
renowned Sioux singer Buddy Red Bow;
Myra Sohappy, wife of David Sohappy, a
Yakima man serving a five-year sentence
for fishing; and a commemoration of the
Longest Walk. EIC also hosts "Indian
World," a weekly radio show on KAOS
radio (9 - 10 p.m., Tuesdays) and a "Video
of the Week" on Wednesday nights. All
EIC events are free and open to the public.
No one is ever turned away for lack of
money.
For the remainder of the year, EIC will
be concentrating on the Native American
Studies DTF, educating the public about
the Sohappy "Salmonscam" case, planning
an I ndian Heritage Week (April 13-18) and
working with the Admissions Office on
recruitment and retention targeting Indian
people. Meetings are held every other Tuesday from noon to 1:00 p.m. in LIB 3221. Indian students, staff and faculty are welcome
to attend and are encouraged to get involved. For additional information, call x6105.D

us what is best for us and how to run our
own affairs. There are numerous examples
of institutional racism, some blatant, some
insidious in Euro-american society.
The key to finding a solution is selfdetermination. If Evergreen did not resist
ow' attempts at self-determination, we
could get on with pursuing our education
and running the NAS program. Evergreen
could hire Indian People to run a recruitment and retention program. Evergreen
could fulfill its unfulfilled cultural literacy
"commitment" by consulting with Indian
People as well as other People of Color, in
the appropriate fields, such as science or art
of whatever.
Weare more than capable of handling our
own affairs. The onus of cross-cultural communication does not lie with us;' Weare
well-versed in Euro-american attitudes and
ideas since they have been shovea down our
throats all of our lives. We don't have to
ask anyone to "understand" us. All we ask
for is respect. We are willing to work with
any constituency. We are not willing to be
oppressed or insulted, even ifit is uninten·
tional. As we continue to survive in the
Longest War, so we will survive this sllimish. There is no reason that both SIdes
can't win. 0

situation maybe beyond the capacity of this or any other society

written in 1944 by Ruth Muskrat from Bronson in a book titled

"Only Indian leadership with their understanding and deep appreciation of their racial past can awaken again in the hearts of the
people the pride of race that once built a cultural tradition so strong,
so beautiful, and can build it again. Only Indian leadership can bring
to richest flowering that which is Indian in the life of people." 0
