Dear Maxine; Ive been meaning to write for some time but have been unable to do so until just now. Yesterday as I was traveling from McAllen, Texas to San Antonio, Texas, I had the opportunity to talk about the progress of the Ute Tribe. Needless to say the person whom I had been speaking with, was very well impressed with the tribe. I explained to him of our Ute Bottle Hollow", Expedition, and numerous other things. All in all, I think I talked to him for about a couple of hours or more just on the Ute Tribe. You just cannot imagine the pride that swelled up within me when speaking of my own people. Every time that I do have an opportunity to speak of the American Indian, I always speak of the Ute Tribe. Most people are surprised when they learn I am a Ute Indian and this gives me a perfect opportunity to speak of my people. Many people from Texas coming from all walks of life are now aware of the Ute Indians. Some have read the Ute Bulletins that I have and most generally they are Nu-tuve- . 28 at the Ballard L.D.S.

Feb. 14, Georgia Wyasket, John Warden and Benjamin Murray traveled to Sheridan, Wyo. to transport a client to Alcoholism Treatment the Inter-tribal Center and to present a program at a meeting on the 14th for the treatment center residents. A tribal member who is a resident at the Sheridan Treatment Center invited us to present the program. The presentations from the group from the Alcoholism and Drug Program consisted of an overview of our total program, slides on ERicksonss Stages of Development and talks by John, Georgia and Benjamin. Before returning home on Friday the 15th, we went back to the Center and toured it and took some pictures of the facility. We spoke to some of the people there and came back with very favorable impressions about their treatment - program and their facility. We also brought back with us high hopes of instituting some of their ideas into our proposed rehabilitation center. Skiing Trip Ute Tribe Ski Team yes, thats what we called ourselves when we went on our -- first ski trip. Yes, some of you may have heard of us, it's the Alcohol and Drug Program but it was our Probation Group that took the ski trip last month. The team, Stan McCook, Willard Thompson, Junior Manning, Benjamin Murray, and took off from Fort Duchesne on the 20th and was in Salt Lake City by 3:00 p.m. We went over and picked up Gerry Thamert, the Programs Social Worker and also Wilson Taveapont and Douglas Starr from the Indian Recovery Center in Salt Lake City. We rented our skis and motel rooms, then we went out to eat and took in a movie. The nest day we were up at 6 a.m. and by 9 up at the Alta Ski Resort. The boys got the feel of the skis and only then did we get passes for the ski lift to the top of No Sweat. This is where all the fun was down this began-- it ski run that one of the boys said wed call ourselves the Ute Tribe Ski Team. The feeling was good. The chill feeling of the wind in your face and the snow against your skis made and the you feel almost like flying snow was like falling in a bed of feathers. The team was falling and laughing at each other and doing cartwheels on our heads on the way down.

Utah State University, in response to sponsoring a Family popular request Garden Workshop in the Ute Tribal Learning Center, at Fort Duchesne, March 25 at 4:30 p.m. The purpose of the workshop will be to acquaint family members with the basic techniques of growing and managing a small family garden. According to David VanderKraats, the U.S.U. Community Development Specialist and workshop instructor, the need for family garden projects has been greatly increased due to the energy crisis and subsequent higher cost of living. Over the past year the cost of living while wages have index has risen 20 remained basically the same for people in this area. If the trends continue as predicted by the government analysts a recession could be a possibility. This would mean that the average wage earner will be forced to start depending on their own resources to supply the food requirements of their families because of the reduced amount of available food at prices they can afford. Mr. VanderKraats added this crisis could be a blessing in disguise if it makes us realize that we need to develop our own inner strengths and abilities as part of being a total person. Somewhere along the way people began placing the responsibility on others to meet their needs consequently the basic survival skills have been lost. When the realization of this begins to sink in, many hidden fears and pressures begin to surface. This may well be the time of our. awakening-- a time to create and rebuild and personal our own understanding. The workshop will cover such areas as: picking the right spot for a garden; planting the crops; watering; fertilizer usage; and harvesting. At a later date, Ms. Nellie Johnson, director of the Ute Tribal Nutrition Program will hold a workshop on Canning and Processing garden crops. Ms. Katherine Jenks, Edith Sireech, and Karen Ory, of the who are workshopjhave requested people definitely planning to attend contact them, at the Utah State University Office in Fort Duchesne so that an adequate supply of handout materials will be available. funniest times we ever had. By the end of the day the group was all due for a week off and on the way back home we talked about the good time we had had. The team had a lot of fun and wish to do it again soon.
