The grandson of the last
hereditary chief of the Okla-
homa Iowas, Sine was elected
tribal chairman In Septem-
ber, 1969. His grandfather,
Charles Tohee, died in 1930,
and since then, leaders of the
Iowa have been elected by the
tribe.
As tribal chairman, Sine
helped to obtain money for In..
dlan families.
'*The money was compen-
sation for lands taken from the
Indians for settlement. Pre-
sident Nlxon signed a bill pay-
ing Indian families $1700 per
head for compensations", Sine
said.
Sine has a souvenir from that
occassion, the President pre-
sented him with a pen he used
to sign the document.
The money received was us-

Urban Development, HUD.
"We have an agreement with
the Sac and Fox, they have the
privilege of building on our land
and we have the privilege to
building theirs."
"The HUD program provides
money to b~y land and build
houses at low interest rates,
cheaper than what they normal-
ly cost," Sine said.
"The deparment provides
certain types of floor plans to be
used in building and if the
family helps out in the main-
tenance and cleanup of the
grounds while their house is
being built, the hours they spend
count toward equity in the
house2'
"So far 11 or 12 families have
houses in this area through
this program,*' Sine said.
Before he resigned as tribal
chairman last October, Sine
said he was working on in-
dustrial development, and said
he is glad to see such pro-
grams carried through now.
"The government has money
for such Indian programs, and
if someone wants to get money
for industrial develoDment, aH
they have to do is write a good
proposal."

Iowas are divided into two
bands, Sine said.
"There are the Oklahoma and
Kansas Iowas and the Oklahoma
Iowas2' Oklahomas Iowas num-
ber over 250 and are scat-
tered throughout the state."
Before it was opened to sett-

encompassed the area bounded
by the south bank of the Clm-
arron River to the north bank
of the Deep Fork River, and
from the present Highway 18 to
the Indian Meridian located
about 12 miles west of Still-
water.
While leading the Iowas,
Sine also implemented a health
program.
"A local health official would
take prescriptions and have
them filled for the elderly or
sick who conldo't get around."
Of a five m~Hion dollar grant
given to Indian peoples, Slne's
Iowas received $100,000. Sine
invested some to mis money in
Oklahoma banks to draw inter-

and health programs.

FAMILY CAMPING [}O'S & DONTS
I have noticed that if a fel-
low knows a lot, he ins*t wor-
rfed about impressing everyone
else with how much he knows.
Uncle Sam, selling good will
over the world, is about in the
same predicament as the old
boy who sold mlstletow all his
life and never got a kiss.
I believe that in 1960the Am-
erican public will be looking for
a presidential candidate with
more soundness and less
sounding off.
R is not unusual nowadays to
hear an argument on a subject
that neither person knows any-
thing about.
Whether or not you've
ever gone camping before,
having on hand the basic
camping gear--plus the tips
in this article-may make it
a lot easier for you to take
off for a weekend, or v;eeks,
of outdoor fun.
DO mark up route maps
early. The service station
may be out of them on the
day you plan to leave.
DON'T arrive at night
and expect to set up camp
in the dark.
DO make sure your tent
is long enough forthe tallest
member of your group.
DON'T expect to find a
babbling brook for deinking
and washing water wherever
you go. Be prepared-carry
