TRIBAL TRIBUNE 6 TRIBAL TRIBUNE TRIBAL VOICES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 Mollie, our tradition came from God Your most outrageous statement was “Being an Indian...is getting out of the rut of growth-stunting tradition...” I hope you think this through because our AREWELLS tradition came from God and each of us, including you, is charged with passing it on. Our traditional education system was set up long before the Europeans F came and just because they transposed a different value system here it doesn’t mean God’s original instructions fell by the wayside. Culture tells us the world is a living being and she is our mother. Water is her blood. Trees are her hair. Rocks are her bones. Mountains are her breasts, Colville Tribal and minerals are vital organs that help her breathe. Man carried out his pompous ideas in the irst three worlds and man, not God, destroyed each of them. This is the fourth and inal world. Should we follow tradition and preserve and protect her or contaminate her blood, cut off her hair, her breasts, break her bones, and gouge out her insides? Leader Passes Tolman comes from the word ‘tul-mn’, a red pigment that people traveled miles to get for ceremonial use. I don’t have any of it, but what if my great- great grandchildren want to go get some in the future? They have that traditional right and it’s not my call, nor yours, nor theirs to interfere with that natural Eddie Adrian Palmanteer Jr. path. I am not only against mining of Mount Tolman, but mining anywhere on our land. of the founding fathers of CTEC Just because “there are mines of some sort” all over the world, it doesn’t mean it’s a good thing and we should do the same. I’m not gullible enough to working toward self-sufficiency believe anyone can take out a mountain and leave a pit in the earth equal to her size without scarring the environment. by strengthening tribal sovereignty By the way, did those ‘gentlemen’ you referred to (Northern Quest) tell you about molybdenosis? Of course not, they were paid to paint a rosy picture through economic development. . so the members would vote for mining. My sincere gratitude goes to members of Preservation of Mount Tolman Alliance, Visions for Our Future, Colville Eddie was a visionary for the Colville Indian Environmental Preservation Alliance, Okanogan Highlands Alliance, Shawl Society, Earthworks, and Center for Science in Public Participation for Tribe; he was a true diplomat with your volunteer work in helping get the votes against mining. his natural abilities to network with Genocide and termination policies are not something of the past. They have been stepped up and given many disguises. One is chemical warfare like local, regional, national and other alcohol and other drugs. If people are drunk or high on drugs, they won’t ask any questions much less do anything to stop resource exploitation. Compared tribal governmental leaders.
