Subject: Horace makes page one!
Hello everybody!
Our elder, grandfather Horace Axtell of the Nez Perce tribe,
has made the front page of the Los Angeles Times! In the
Saturday June 14 issues of the LA Times, there is a front
page story about the return of some of the land in the
Wallowa Valley (now in Oregon) to the Nez Perce. Grandfather
Horace's name is mentioned on page one. It is a beautiful
and lengthy article, with a color picture of Elder Horace
and many pictures of the land and of tribal members. Horace's
nephew and former AISES officer Jaime Pinkham is also mentioned
in the article.
It is a miracle when some of our people come home, and I feel
that somehow we all are blessed when this happens.
Peace,
