Warm Springs Millennium

December 20, 2000
The Warm Springs Reservation in north central Oregon is home to about 3600 Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute Indians. Baughman (emeritus, Southern Oregon Univ.) and Hadella (English, Southern Oregon Univ.) here explore contemporary issues and concerns on the Warm Springs Reservation through in-depth interviews with nine people (seven Native Americans and two non-Natives) who live on or have ties to this reservation. These interviews present a wide range of perspectives on such topics as racism, education, ecology, and the preservation of cultural traditions. Each interview creates a window through which to view the diversity of thought and attitude on the Warm Springs Reservation. The authors paint an insightful and candid portrait of both the difficulties and the triumphs of the Warm Springs Indians while demonstrating the continuing vitality of their culture as they attempt to live in two worlds. Recommended for anthropology and Native American collections in academic libraries and for regional collections in Pacific Northwest libraries.--Elizabeth Salt, Otterbein Coll. Lib., Westerville, OH
