Our leadership should be based on this, theory: lees Up service and more work. Editor; Ai we iH knew, aceaeding to the Coutitution end By-L- a wa Article VII, Sec. 3, of the Ute Indian Tribe, we have tribal members to exercise rights without hinderance, freedom of speech, worship, etc. Our Constitution entitles all enrolled tribal members to be on an equal basis as far as benefits are concerned. Also our Constitution, which is our governing policy, entitles us to nominate and elect our officials on the same basis. The following is in no way directed to one individual so I hope no one will be offended by it. Throughout the country Clifford Duncan Economic Development Office u there are numerous Dear Maxine: I just read in the Smoke Signal, a Calif Indiu newsletter of our new Ute Indian Radio station. I wish I could hear your broadcast. I bet it is very interesting. Do you have copies of Profiles of the Past?" I was born in Fort Duchesne. You may know the Kolb's, my grandmother just had her 83rd birthday. She lives in Roosevelt. My father Lloyd Kolb's, Ute, married my mother Ethel Coughran-- a Paiute. I am very interested in knowing all I can about my peoples, past and present. I would like to subscribe to the Ute Bulletin, please send price or bill me. Also I would be interested in back issues if you have them. I do bead work and here is a poem I wrote. I think the Indians that do beading will enjoy it. Thank you most sincerely, Cosma Lee Kolb Childs self-appoint- officials or leaders. They seem to be taking the governing policies into their own hands; making decisions here and there for everybody. Many of tbeir objectives are based cm personal grievances utilising innocent people by putting unrealistic goals before them. We must be on guard for these type of people by putting unrealistic goals before them. We must be cm guard for these type of people if we are to look toward the future of our young people, progress is based on unity, a lot of hard work, and well defined guidelines. In order for progress to be accomplished, we must quickly identify where the proper authority lies and here again it is outlined in our Constitution The Business Committee and one of us and not just each represents pail of the tribe; therefore, it is up to each one of us to learn to respect this By-Law- By Cosma Lee Kolb-Child- s (Ute-Paiut- e) s. I bead, ability, dependability and honesty. In coming years we must watch for the leaders who could lead the downfall. Their background and tribe to a past endeavors should be looked at very carefully .We must remember that just because a person talks well and convincingly that it does not automatically make him a good leader. Another problem that brings great concern to me is the rate of unemployment here on the reservation. Some years ago there were very few job opportunities for our tribal members. Thus, came about the organization of our tribal enterprises. These were organized based on the theory that they would create jobs for the tribal members and Also would bring income for the tribe. Looking at the present unemployment problem realistically, we always seem to point the finger in the wrong direction. The blame always seems to be on someone rise's shoulders even though we are part of the problem too. One of the biggest problems seems to stem from the fact that we do not think it is important to be prompt and punctual. The success of our enterprises relys op our input. We should not be the cause of a failure due to low attendance, tardiness and causing low morale among employees. From here on we should learn to rely on people that have truly benefited the I fight As more people die, due to the excessive use of alcohol it becomes more clear to us, here at the Alcoholism and Drug Program, that everyone on the U & 0 Reservation must join us in the fight against alcohol abuse and alcoholism. Standing over the open grave of an alcohol victim" is rather late involvement. The time to show concern for a person's well being is many months or years before they are in the hospital because their liver has quit working or before they are being lowered into their final resting place. Concern needs to be I fight I fight to keep my left eye left And my right one right. Bu- tWhen I look at my finished piece, I feel so proud Cross-eye- d Lucinda .

Words such as I care about you, I love you, "May I help you solve your problems some other way than with alcohol," are worth much more than a spray of flowers sent to a funeral. If you are as concerned as we are about the damage being caused by alcohol abuse, stop in and talk to one of the people here at the program, and we will tell you how you can help. Don't just let that friend or relative die! King Alcohol KING ALCOHOL is my leaer, I shall be in want. KING ALCOHOL maketh me to lie down in shame, disgrace, flophouses and my own vomit; He leadeth me to skid row and troubled waters. KING ALCOHOL damneth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of contentions and vain babblings. KING ALCOHOL maketh me to walk into the valley of death, a Christless grave and a never ending eternity without God, I greatly fear toe evil one into whose clutches I have fallen. For KING ALCOHOL is with me and I cannot let it saloons, liquor stores, and beer joints they guide me. KING ALCOHOL strips my table of food and good things in the presence of my wife and children. . KING ALCOHOL annointest my head with wounds without cause: My cup of shame runneth over. Surely, sorrow and death will follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in a drunkards hell forever. go-H- . is Reprinted from Take Ten a publication' of the Indian Center, San Diego, Calif. . - |
