VOLK r correspondent CLEARFIELD - The difference between a battle" and a massacre" has led to a Clearfield woman being honored by the state. Mae Timbimboo Parry's efforts to get the Battle of the Bear River called a "massacre" led to her being one of 10 women honored recently for their faith, strength of character and for their efforts to make a bethonors ter world. These first-eve- r came by way of a joint effort from the Governor's Commission for Women and Families and the Governor's Office of Ethnic Affairs. The 10 represent a mixture of American Indian, Greek, Japanese, Mexican. Polynesian, black, Catholic and Jewish women. Seven were presented the award posthumously. Parry is a member of the West ern Band of Shoshoni, where she served for many years as the tribal secretary. She has spent a lifetime furthering the welfare and betterment of American Indians. She has been a tribal representative to the White House Conference on Indian Tribal Affairs, a member of the Utah Indian Cooperative Council, and was also honorary Utah Mother of the Year in 1986. She lobbied the state to pass the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act," and lobbied other agencies to recognize the Battle of the Bear River" to be called, what in actuality, it was...a massacre." This was one thing that was especially important to Parry, but she was reluctant to talk about it and her other personal achievements. But her son, Bruce Parry, is proud of his mother and more than willing to talk about her. A few years ago, a group from Cache Valley were trying to put together a monument of sorts, recognizing the battle sight. Mother kept telling them that there was something basically wrong in calling it a battle, since more Indians were massacred there than at any other such sight in the United States, including Wounded Knee," he said. More than 250 Shoshoni men, women and children lost their lives that day in 1863, while less than 25 U.S. soldiers died. She led then Sen. Manual who sat on a congresLu-jua- n, sional committee overseeing such national sights, on a tour of the site. She showed him, among other things, the badger holes where the Shoshoni women hid their babies during the massacre, only to return and find that their babies had frozen to death," Bruce Parry said. It was all convoking because a few days after his return to Washington, Mother got a letter stating that from the standpoint of the U.S. goverhment, the Battle of Bear River would from then on be officially referred to as the Massacre at Bear River. She impacted the way history was recorded, set the record straight and that was very important. Mae Parry has become a great collector of Shoshoni histories and has been approached by the University of Utah Press to publish her collection whenever she has it ready. She just keeps getting more and more, said Bruce Parry. I think she's got enough right now for one really great big book or two smaller ones at least, maybe three. The Associated Press her three years in Amanda Torres has above adversity and beyond homelessness to financial stability and homeownership. It's a path the native Nicaraguan has traveled before, meeting successive episodes of tragedy with determined and diligent efforts to rebuild her life. Her latest triumph - a modem, home in Salt Lake City's Poplar Grove neighborhood - is built on a foundation of sweat equity and plenty of prayers. Torres family is one of six formerly homeless families that secured a home of their own last year with the help of Travelers Aid and During three-bedroo- other nonprofit agencies devoted to helping address the countys critical housing needs. low-inco- The families were selected for home ownership assistance after willingly complying with case plans developed during their temporary residencies at the Salt Lake homeless family shelter, then showing continued determination to move on from the shelters transitional housing program, said Sherrie King, housing coordinator for Travelers Aid. The decision to help Torres find a home was multifaceted, King said. First and foremost, she was focused on a reasonable goal working to support her three children and her mother, Maria Espinoza, in a home with a reasonable mortgage. Also, she had demonstrated an ability to attain difficult goals and had continually maintained employment while working to further her - education. And finally, she had proven, time and again, her ability to overcome incredible barriers. They came to Salt Lake City in the summer of 1992 and found an apartment. Torres studied to be- come a certified nurses aide. She secured a job, but soon afterward was diagnosed with a thyroid tumor. I wasnt making enough money to pay the bills or save anything. Everything was piling up. Then I became depressed when the surgery came up, wondering if I was going to die and who would take care of my children. Torres remembered. She sent her mother and youngest daughter, then 2, to live with a brother in California. She moved into the family shelter with her two older children - a chapter of their lives they would prefer to forget, she acknowledges.
