Tribal Tribune 10 Tribal Tribune CommuniTy news Thursday, sepTember 15, 2011 omak Stampede Indian Encampment Pow-Wow 2011 THANK YOU to everyone who made this year’s pow-wow a huge success! There were a few hurdles that I had to get over to get to the result we were all striving for. I want to start of by naming a few individuals who helped me along the way and mean the world to me: Sonny Quinto & Chepa Knowshisgun, Albert & Rebekah Onepennee, Eagle Spirit Singers, Sonny Sellars, Roweena Antone, Jeremiah Wippel, Clarissa & Juan Betancourt, Shawn Norwest & crew, Pete Palmer, Enid Wippel, Melba Smith, DeeAnn Haynes, Randy Adolph, Mary A. Marchand, Arnie Holt, Joseph Mellon, Curt Davis, Sharey Redthunder, Sharon Redthunder, Uncle Chaz & Paige, Mike & Dee Squeochs, Flodell Williams and Auntie Donna. I’m sitting here trying to think of everyone and hoping that I haven’t left any names out, but know that if you helped me in any way, you will always hold a place in my heart. I want to welcome aboard our new Pow-wow royalty, Maryann Matheson, Summer Finley, and Adrian George. I know you will do your best to represent the pow-wow and I want to extend a helping hand when it comes time to fundraise to get you to as many events as possible during your reign. Just let me know. More thanks to our encampment committee who made it very easy to work with. Yes, we did have our moments but I have full conidence that each of you did your best to make your individual areas turn out for the best. I had worked mostly with the following and want to say THANK YOU for helping me along the way: Theresa Best, Bernadine Phillips, Sam Toulou-Wilson, Larsky Edwards, Priscilla Condon and Ducky Friedlander. To everyone else involved with Encampment, your volunteer time is priceless. The pow-wow brought in a large number of dancers but less than expected drum groups. The drum groups that were in attendance were of high caliber and brought great strength to the pow-wow. This year was especially emotional and close to my heart because I haven’t been involved with the committee since the passing of my mom Lorraine Williams in 2005. Although she wasn’t there in person, I felt she was there in spirit because she kept me strong when things got tough. If any of you knew her, you knew that she was such a welcoming person and I tried to live by her example and make each and every person there feel welcome. I think the inal blessing of the weekend was when we realized that there were no dropped eagle feathers! So THANK YOU to all the visitors who came to dance and sing from as far as Arizona, Canada, Montana and Alaska, but also THANK YOU to the locals who even with the animosity from last year and the new predicament that arose this year, decided to stay and give me a chance to show you a pow-wow you could be proud of! THANK YOU and I hope that next year is even bigger and better!!! Deidre Wippel, 2011 Pow-wow Chairperson

To the people of the Colville Tribes and of the surrounding area:

I would like to take this time to thank all of you for your participation and support to our Omak Stampede Indian Encampment Committee. We are trying hard to endeavor, to persevere, and to make it good for all to see, participate, and enjoy. We are in the process of inishing up our non-proit and federal Tax I.D. from the I.R.S. With this all in place our committee will be able to pursue more funding for our committee. Therefore, making us more independent from our local supporters on our reservation. We as a committee still have some more accommodations for the pow-wow. But as it is, and was, it is better. We hope that in the future that we will be able to help our Tribesman, take their spot in our encampment, as a privilege and not a given, as we are borrowing one of our ancient gathering grounds of the Okanogan People, from the City of Omak. We are trying to put our people irst in our encampment and to let all others that come to visit know, that we all the hosts in our own camps. Hopefully our people all understand the dynamics of this event and the time and energy that it takes, on just a few people to make this a reality for all to be proud of. We hope that our young adults can step up to the committee and show how much they care for the Omak Stampede Indian Encampment and all it has to offer in ways of Hospitality, with open arms. Again as the President of the Omak Stampede Indian Encampment, along with all the committee members, we are thanking all the people that came and supported our arts and crafts vendors, food vendors, stick games, the Pow-wow, the drummers and the Dancers. We can only hope that all is well throughout the year in order for everyone to make their journeys back to our homelands. We wish everyone the best of luck no matter where they go and to remember that there is a committee behind the event. May your journey in life take you back here and until we meet again at the Omak Stampede Indian Encampment in 2012. Yours in mind Spirit, and Heart. Theresa M. Best Omak Stampede Indian Encampment President, The Board, and our Committees. POB 688, Omak, Washington 98841 Tribal Tribune Thursday, sepTember 15, 2011 CommuniTy news Tribal Tribune 11
