Honoring Native American Veterans

By John HernandezCopper Area News

November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, histories and important contributions of Native people.

Having just celebrated Veteran’s Day, some native people history about the service to their country by their veterans is appropriate. Native Americans have served with distinction in every war beginning with the Revolutionary War to our current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The warrior spirit and their courage that once made them formidable enemies during the Indian Wars has been displayed throughout

our country’s history. Native Americans have the highest percentage of any ethnic group in the United States serving in the military. Considering the U.S. government’s treatment of Native Americans throughout its history, broken treaties, banishment to reservations, and genocide, it is hard for one to understand their willingness to fight for a nation that has treated them so dishonorably. Some say it is the Native culture and their prized qualities of strength, honor, pride, wisdom and devotion to the survival of their people, culture, and homeland. They consider themselves part of their tribe and part of America. During the Revolutionary War native tribes fought on the side of the British as well as the colonists. Tribes also fought for the British as well as the Americans in the War of 1812. They also fought for both sides in the Civil War. In the Plains Indian Wars members of certain tribes fought on the American side against their traditional tribal enemies. During the Apache Wars, many joined the U.S. Army as scouts and fought against their fellow Apaches. Twelve Native Americans were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor during this time.

Festivals, Thanksgiving and Election ResultsLet’s get festive!

Rip’s NAPA Store and the Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce are

sponsoring the annual Fall Festival and Car Show this Saturday, Nov. 18. It will begin at 9 a.m. on Alden Road in Kearny and last into the late afternoon. The car show itself will fill most of the morning hours until the awards ceremonies at

noon. So come early, especially if you are a car lover, because some of the show cars will have come from a goodly distance and it takes a while to get home. There will be many other events and activities thorough the day, making it a good event for both adults and children. Be sure to check out the many vendors. Rip and Katie Vache, ever since they took

over the NAPA store, have been positive contributors to the Copper Basin, not merely with the car show which is largely their baby, but by building up NAPA’s role as a well-stocked and well-staffed place of business. I heard from Monica Badillo that the benefit golf tournament for Jena Martinez Inzunza was a smashing success. There were 103 golfers in the tournament itself. Monica reports that the funds raised are being counted now, but she knows it was a financial success because of two things: the number of people who took part, and the fact that donations of goods and services left no expenses to be covered. Way to go! I’m glad the weather made a positive donation as well. This week Arizona forestry officials will be meeting with the Winkelman Natural Resources Conservation District during the WNRCD’s quarterly meeting in Oracle. Bill Dunn reports that the environmental surveys for the tamarisk project are proceeding. I hope to have more details on the particulars of the project next week. Our national Day of Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 23. I’ll be an old

curmudgeon and admit that I hate its new name of “Turkey Day” and also its reliance on beer and football. Now that I have that out of the way, I have had a difficult time finding things for which to be thankful. Family, yes. Friends, yes. My faith in God, yes. But it hurts me that so many people in this area are hurting, in so many ways.

It wasn’t supposed to end this way, but it did. The No. 2-seed Superior football team was defeated by No. 4 Williams in the 1A State Championship Game, which took place last Friday at Maricopa High School, 57 – 14. Despite the loss, the Panthers should feel no shame, considering they advanced further than many expected, and had arguably the most successful season at the school in 20 years. “This team faced a lot of adversity all season long,” Superior head coach Ryan Palmer told the Superior Sun. “Most people didn’t even have us as a playoff team, let alone a state title contender. There is a lot to be proud of and excited about for the future of this group.” The Panthers hung in there despite the loss of freshman sensation Adam Navarrette, who suffered a broken leg on the third play of the game. “He was vital to our offensive and defensive game plans,” Palmer said. “With little depth, we had to move multiple players into new positions on defense and it limited what we could do on offense.” The first quarter ended with the game tied, 8 – 8. The Panthers evened the score at 14 – 14 before the Vikings took a 22 – 14 lead at halftime. A few more Panthers’ players suffered injuries, which

Still Super(ior) season ends with loss in title gamefurther impacted the game’s result. The Vikings were able to put the game away, outscoring Superior 35 – 0 in the second half. “Things unraveled after other players were injured,” Palmer said. “Great season, just a bad night.” Junior quarterback Steven Ybarra again supplied the bulk of the offense for the Panthers. He rushed for 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns in addition to passing for 127 yards. Junior receivers Jesus Castellanos and Jared Moreno combined for seven receptions and each finished with 33 receiving yards. Ybarra also led on defense with a team-high nine tackles. Castellanos and Sammy Lopez each had five in the championship game. Matthew Diaz-Gonzales recovered

two fumbles in defeat. Sans a senior on the roster, the Panthers have the talent and experience to make a return appearance in the title game a year from now. “Things didn’t go our way last Friday,” Palmer said. “The outstanding support from the families, school and community, combined with the bitterness of defeat, will drive our team to be even more committed towards bringing a football state championship to Superior.” Added Ybarra: “I think we should win (the championship) next year, if we hit the weight room.” Expectations are already high for next year, including a different ending. The way it is supposed to be.

Superior Cheerleaders and other community members last week hosted a town-wide pep rally to send the Panthers off to the State Championship game in style. Even though our boys didn’t win, they are still winners in our eyes. Good season, Panthers! Cat Brown | Sun

The Giant stores in San Manuel and Dudleyville are now both closed. Good jobs are hard to find and even harder to get. The recession which began at the end of the Bush administration is still a fact to deal with in rural Arizona (and not just in copper towns). I do give thanks that the people of Pinal County approved the plan of, and funding for, the Pinal Regional Transportation Authority. This will especially benefit the towns of Superior, Kearny, and

Winkelman, even as the urban areas will receive much-needed highways. I give thanks that the people of the Ray School District passed the bond issue by a 2 to 1 margin, a margin much higher than in the other school districts of Pinal County. Now our towns and the Ray Schools will have access to some much needed funds. The people of this area responded to these real needs with their own tax money. When the need is clear, the response is strong.

recruited Native Americans for his Rough Riders during the Spanish American War. During World War I, although Native People were not yet American citizens, many joined the fight in Europe. A number of them received medals for bravery. Near the end of the war, eight Choctaw warriors took over the field communications in an area surrounded by Germans. They used their native language to send tactical messages to other units which helped defeat the Germans. It was code talking before the famous Navajo Code Talkers of World War II. Fourteen Native American women served in the Army Nurse Corps. Native Americans would become American citizens in 1924. In World War II, Native Americans were eligible for the draft but enlisted in record numbers. Over 40,000 fought in the Pacific and European theaters. Four hundred Code Talkers were deployed with the Marines in the Pacific and these Navajo Code Talkers played an important part in the War. In the European Theater, 17 Comanche Code Talkers saw brutal action as part of the Army Signal Corps. Five Native American soldiers were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Following the end of World War II, many Native American Veterans benefitted from the G.I. Bill and furthered their education. A number of them began fighting for their full civil rights and a better life for Native People. In 1947 they successfully led a fight for the right to vote in Arizona and New Mexico. Native Americans fought in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan. Fifty thousand Native Americans served in the Vietnam War. Ninety percent of them enlisted. Many disillusioned Native soldiers returned from Vietnam and joined militant civil rights groups such as the American Indian Movement. Some joined with their elders to protect and revitalize their Native culture and land. They continue to fight for their civil rights and their people. In the 1990s, it was estimated that there were 160,000 Native American Veterans. This comprised 10 percent of the Native American population, three times the proportion of non-native people that have served in the military. The Native American has played an important part in the history of the United States military. Let us honor their service and all Veterans.
