Bonbright purchase completes puzzle
By the CUJ Over the last 10 years, the Tribes have ac-
quired:
Nagel Forrest property – 713.54 acres pur-
chased Nov. 13, 1997 (the late John Rosario was
instrumental in this purchase, working with Nagel
for almost 10 years). This property provides land
on both sides of the freeway that make up the north
and south sections of Coyote Business Park.
Arrowhead property – 13.83 acres purchased
Oct. 2, 2000. Construction on a new 19,600
square foot facility could begin in July (see story
below).
Burd estate – 13.14 acres purchased Aug.
7, 2003. This is on the south side of the freeway,
east of Market Road.
Rohde property – 100.1 acres purchased
Aug. 14, 2003. This land straddles the freeway
to the east of Exit 216 with an unoccupied house
and 60 acres on the north side and 40 acres on
the south side.
Cody’s Restaurant – 1.15 acres purchased
in 2006. The restaurant will be razed, possibly as
early as late summer, as part of the construction
project at Arrowhead, where negotiations continue
on a fast food restaurant.
Bonbright building – 4.21 acres purchased
March 17, 2008.
Work at Arrowhead should begin in July

SAVINGS!
Congratulations to all
high school graduates!
Now that you’re out of school and
turning 18, if not already,
what are you going to do?
How about opening up a savings
and/or a checking account
at a credit union?
That’s a great idea!
This way when you work
all summer you can save your money
and watch it grow with interest.
While you’re working, it wouldn’t
be a bad idea to take at least half
or more of your paycheck
and put it into your savings account
and don’t take it out
unless you REALLY need it.
By making only deposits
into your savings every paycheck
you will learn how to save for tomorrow.
Be careful not to overspend
this summer, which is easy to do.
You need to discipline yourself now
for the future.
Learn to control your money
and don’t let money control you.

Before doing any burning, contact the appropriate fire protection agency for
your area. During fire season, a permit is required for all outdoor burning.
Many factors must be considered when conducting debris burning. After con-
sidering the alternatives, you may decide not to burn.
A statistical fact: Debris burning accounts for about 35% of the human-caused
wildfires that blacken the USA each year.
General Rules for Safe Debris Burning:
1. Check with your fire protection agency before burning.
2. A Fire Warden may wish to inspect the burn area and help with suggestions
for a safe burn before issuing a permit.
3. Consider composting, chipping or hauling to a landfill.
4. Follow all instructions on the burn permit form.
5. Outside burning may be prohibited during high-fire danger.
If you must burn debris, do it safely.

We can’t learn the most valuable lessons of Native customs when
they’re buried in books. That’s why Tamástslikt Cultural Institute is
bringing them to life this summer through our Living Culture Village.
You’re invited to watch tribal members demonstrate crafts and games.
Learn how favorite foods are caught, harvested and prepared. And
hear fascinating stories and legends that have been told for generations

brought life to the village and the Thunderbird was hailed as a savior.
