dux candidates for tribal
If01W iz could JntelTspeech twTy
these men did. Mia Connee. he'd be
naming too. B?. the best way to
judge a maa is by his deeds The way
Olwta sees h. w? aeed to be electing
. mem aod women who have given
\ sofnethag to the Indian community
I aod whose word stands for something
i Now. I aa't seyia^thai some of these
I. their people, or their wad ain't much.
1 but (A wiz it woadenag where some
of them where when LRDA was
fighting us and our constitution I
nae don 't recall seeing some of them
' out there on the battle field. Mia
Cornice And. Old Wizain't following
any hub or woman that won't take his
place on the battlefield along with the
rest ofhis people. Some thugs I ain't
going to do and one of them is follow
any man or woman without backbone.
Mia Connee
We need people we can put our
trust in. I don t care how much
educatioo they got. or how. big their
bank account is If they can't be
trusted, there ain't too much to them
And. the way Old Wiz sees it. any man
or woman that voted against our
constitution can't be trusted to lead
our tribal government Course.people
have got to make up their own mind
about these candidates. Miss Connee
But. as for Oi Wiz. he's supporting
those candidates that stood with their
people when they needed them
Now. some of our people waited
until the battle was over to decide
which side thev were on. The boys
down ai the nore call them the fence
sitters Maybe. ihe> re like the Church
in Revelatiop> thai was luke warm.
MissConuee I four Lordam'i gutanv
use fur them. I know CM W iz am *
The way I see it. our world is in tlie :
shape it is cause of men and women
who know what is right, but sit back
and do nothing And. I'd tell you ;
V
omething etoe. OfIWbm'i got any
^XntamTdart? with bard
KMfc. When these men and women
jt to taking 01 Wiz's hands be t
joiag to be looking for some calluses.
oo? m our tribal governaaet* for
people looking for aposinoo with tbe
cork cut our of it That's the probiem
nth tone other folk* I know. and I
clieve the people know who I'm
alking about
Well. Ot Wiz heard the LRDA't
juaabae Industries is having trouble
laying some of our folks what they
owe them. The way Old Wiz heard it,
one of our people they owe money
was told to contact one of then ooo
ndian lawyers in Fayette vi lie Maybe
his lawyer has got to pay them. Miss
rounce, or maybe they're going
Mnkrupt and ain't wanting these
ndian lawyers to know about it All
31 Wiz knows is thats it's bad business
when you tell people how you are
lerving and representing them, and
hen tell them they got to see some
awyer in Fayette ville to git paid what
hey're owed. That's just another
-easoo people said LRDA ain't no
libal government
The way CM Wiz beard it. them
LRDA boys told some folks that their
Lumbee Industries was tribally owned
Mow. I hope that don't mean Ol Wiz
is got to help tbem pay their way out
rfdebt.MissConnee Ifheis.theygot
10give him something more than taters
ind chicken backs But. if them boys
liadn't thrown awav thousand* of
dollars in fancy advertisements to fight
jut people on their constitution. rbe\
might could pay our people what ttie\
jwe them Some folks ju.v don't
know much about moot-. >n 'topic.
Mis* (. ounce Bui one thing i> tor
sure. CM Wiz believe* that lawyer in
Fayette ville is going to git something
for his trouble. Miss Connee. and it
un't going to be taters

EXEMPLARY EDUCATION
fey Dr. Dm Cfenvers (c)
L i>pVI!gD( 1W
In the past several weeks, i wrote
about how bad souse of our schools
we in Indian Country Ten years ago.
that is about all I would have had to
my.
But today, these are a haadfed
which are suiting to improve 1
reported oa 12 of them last year in my
book "Exemplary Prograassin Indian
Education " We call it EPIE for short.
Actually, we know of about 18 of
them now, having learned about some
more in the past year. For the 840 high
schools oa or near reservations or
Indian communities, that is one
exemplary project for every 47
schools. It is one exemplary project in
2.1% of the schools nationwide
Of course, only two of the projects
are school-wide. In some cases, they
work with only a tiny handful of the
Indian students in a school
So we have a long way to go. But
at least we have a start
We also have given a $5,000 cash
prize, with no strings attached, to the
best project in the past three years
They can spend the money any way
they want, and don*t have to tell us
what they did with it it is an award,
not a grant or a contract. To win it. the
person must have already done
something exemplary with Indian
students
Every year we get people who
send us proposals to do something,
rather than reports on what they have
already done As anyone can tell you
who has done exemplary work in
education, it is easier said than done
The people who succeedare extremelv
bard working dedicated, and
committed.
Baboquivart High School at Sells.
AZ. our first winner. hada42%dropout
rate in 1985. and lowered it to only
14% in 1990 --eight percentage points
below the national rate, which is 22%

improvement was at Mourn
Ednecumbe Higfa School m Sitka
AlCThu farmer B1Aboarding school
now run by the State, had a high tardy
rate, high teacher turnover, a high
draoour rate, and a low percentage of
students aoum an to college. ,
For 1990-91. only three years alter
they started, teacher nunover was zeiro,
high school dropouts was zero, and
46% of graduates went on to college
Tardies had been reduced to 10 per
week, from an average of 34 per week
The school, under the leadership
of Bill Denkinger, the Principal, went
loaTotal Quality Management (TQM)
program in 1988. This system,
exported to Japan by W Edwards
Deming in the 1950's( whennoooein
the U.S. would give him the time of
day), has in this case been highly
successful in s high school for Eskimo
village children Amazing. I say. but
great.
Monument Valley High School in
Kayenta. AZ. where Dr Joseph
Martin, a Navajo, is superintendent,
took their seniors from eighth and
ninth grade level on the CTBS in 1984
to the eleventh grade level in 1991
This is almost three grade levels of
improvement in seven years, for all
seniors
At the same time, most of our
Indian schools are stuck in the I930's
Somehow, we have to come up with
incentives and inducements to get
them to move into tbe 1990's. If you
have any ideas. I would like to have
them
