Census Takers
Are Coming
By Sue Ginsburg and
Dick Perry

A census OF the reservation
will be taken this month, start
ing July 9th. The question
naire will be used by both the
tribe and the Bureau of In
dian Affairs for several diff
ferent purposes, including adult
education, schools and self-help
housing. Every family will be
asked the names and birthdateS
of all members, as we'll as
schooling, income and profes-
sion.
Census-takers, who include
teachers and residents of San
Carlos and Bylas, will also en-
courage every person to get
birth certificate, since many
employers require them. They
will also discuss adult education
classes in many fields and try
to get widespread participation
in this program and in the PTA.
The reservation has been di-
vided into four areas, each of
which will be covered by a
group of workers. The group
in each car will include at least
one Apache speaker.
When these people knock on
your door, please try to help
and answer their questions. The
results will be used for your
benefit!

Last month % boys and 35
girls from San Carlos and By
las attended the Point of Pines
Summer Camp for two 2-week
sessions. Tne camp was mostly
recreational, but different types
of arts and crafts, including
marble jewelry, copper enamel
ling and leather work, also
kept the campers busy.
Facilities for recreation at
Point Of Pines included equip
ment for softball, volleyball,
horseshOes, jai lai, badminton
and football. Swimming was
the most popular pastime, and
campers were taken in a bus
several times week to swim
in a tank five miles away. Most
of the campers were eager to
swim, and by the end of the
camp everyone had gone into
the water at least once.
The trucks and the bus were
used to make field trips to old
Indian ruins around Point of
Pines and to the Willow Noun
tain Lookout and the Black
River Pumping Station, where
Apache drum beat., 1963-07-01
Summer Camp Held
At Point Of Pines

the boys also went swimming.
The campers found arrowheadS,
a medicine mans bone trinket,
and a great deal of broken
pottery at the ruins.
The campers were all expect
ed to clean up the grounds in
front of their cabins, mop up
the cabin floors and keep them
selves and the campSite neat
and clean. There were five
showers with hot water avail
able all day, and combs, tooth
brushes, toothpaste, soap and
towels were supplied by the
government and handed out to
the campers. A good supply of
first aid equipment was kept
in the infirmary.
Besides the younger campers,
four older boys and four girls
attended the camp as employees
and spent another two weeks
in BylaS and San Carlos with
the recreation programs there.
AS a part of the summer rec.
reation- program the Point of
Pines camp was success, and
plans are being made now for
next years camp.

Self-help Housing.

1. Self-help Housing. The
Public Housing Administration,
in cooperation with the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, is now con-
Quoting a pilot program for self
help housing on the San Carlos
Reservation. The program has
run into number of problems
caused by the lack of adequate
ly trained personnel to super
wise self-help construction. The
program badly needs volunteer
personnel with some building
experience who would work
with the Indian people to help
build our own homes. 1t would
be expected that as the program
progresses the Indian people
would become trained in self
help housing and would be able
to carry on this work in the fu-
ture.
2, Community Workers. San
Carlos Apache Tribe has appli-
cations pending before the Com
munity Facilities Administra-
ton of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency to construct
community buildings at San
Carlos and Bylas. These build
ings would serve as centerS for
community development and
recreation programs. In order
to make these centers an eff
fective source of community
improvement, it would be neces-
sary to have trained personnel
to set up programs there. In the
first instance, we would need
people who are able to work
with children, teen-agers and
young adults in recreational
programs. We would also like
to expand such programs as
dramatics, arts and crafts, other
hobbies. The community centers
would also serve as focal point
for home demonstration pro-
jects. The National Service
Corps volunteers could be used
to operate the recreational pro-
grams and to give lectures and
demonstrations to housewives
in effective home management.
8. Farm Aid. The economy of
the San Carlos Apache Reserva-
ton is primarily devoted to the
production of livestock. Many
Individual members of the Tribe
own livestock, and the Tribe it
self also operates a large Tribal
herd. Although the Bureau of
Indian Affairs does provide
some technical assistance in the
livestock operations, the Tribe
and its members feel that adj
ditional assistance is badly
needed. Since the responsibility
for extension work has been re-
moved from the Bureau of In
dian Affairs and placed in the
State, there has not been an
adequate number of extension
agents available to assist cattle
operators. National Service
Corps volunteers who are eX-
perienced in animal husbandry
could fill this gap, and thereby
make a substantial contribution
to the reservation economy.
4. Home Demonstration Many
San Carlos families lack train
ing or knowledge in efficient

The following statement was
prepared by Marvin Null and
submitted to the United States
Congress. 1t asks for National
Service Corps help at San Car
los:
Statement
This statement is presented
to the United States Congress
by the Tribal Council of the
San Carlos Apache Indian Tribe
of Arizona. The Tribe had hoped
to send a member to Washing
ton to testify in person in favor
of the National Service Corps.
For financial reasons this has
proved impossible, and this
statement is submitted in place
of a personal appearance.
The San Carlos Apache Indian
Reservation is one of the larger
reservations in the country. 1t is
located in the eastern part of
Arizona and covers approximate
ly 100000 acres. The total
population of the reservation is
in excess of 5000 people. There
are two large settlements on
the reservation: San Carlos,
with a population of 3,700, and
Bylas, with population of ap-
proximately 1,500. The balance
of the residents live at widely
scattered points.
The San Carlos Tribe is org
anized pursuant to the Indian
Reorganization Act and con-
ducts it's affairs through pop
ularly elected Tribal govern
ment composed of II Council
members and a Tribal chairman.
The Council manages the gov
ernmental and economic affairs
of the Tribe and operates a
court and police system.
The Federal Government has
substantial plant located on
the reservation, primarily at
the community of San Carlos.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
operates a school system and ad-
ministers Indian land holdings.
The Public Health Service op-
crates hospital and is engaged
in the construction of water and
sewer projects.
There is critical need for
programs on the San Carlos
Reservation to improve econom-
ic conditions and to deal with
the problems of social and cul-
tural adjustment. A large por-
tion of the potential labor force
is either unemployed or under
employed. According to figures
prepared by the Bureau of In
dian Affairs, the labor force on
the San Carlos Reservation is
1,500 persons, of whom IS per-
cent, or 1925, are unemployed.
Living conditions on the reser-
walton are equally deplorable
with almost all of the families
living in one or two-room
shacks, without electricity,
plumbing, a nearby water
source, adequate light, heat or
ventilation.
There are a great many
worthwhile projects on the San
Carlos Apache Reservation in
which the National Service
Corps could effectively partici-
pate. The ones in which the
Tribe would be particularly in
terested are as follows:
