Shoshone Windfall: Government Pays Up By WARREN WINTRODE Associated Press Writer FORT WASHAKIE, Wyo. Half covered by snow, the purple Wind River the Rocky Mountains rises majestically above the three-room frame home of Harrison Shoyo. Shoyo, 45, was born near these mountains and probably will die here. Nine members of his family live in the house, which lies on 20 acres of land near the base of the mountains. Temperatures frequently plunge below zero during the cold Wyoming winters, and Shoyo says his house isn't well insulated.

SHOYO is a full-blooded member of the Eastern Band of Shoshone Indians who live on the Wind River Reserva tion. Until recently he was in no position even to think about needed repairs to his dwelling. Shoyo's income amounted to the $50 each he, his wife and their three school-age children received in monthly tribal payments, plus the modest i income he earns as a repairmaintenance employe for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. That all changed Jan. 21 when the family's monthly tribal check amounted to more than $1,200.

The windfall reflected the first of 12 payments the Wind River Shoshones will receive as their $6,545,000 share of a $15.7 million additional compensation award for 38 million acres taken from three Shoshone tribes by the federal government in 1868-69. There were 2,128 enrolled Wind River Shoshones in January, and each is scheduled to receive $2,400 during a one-year period. That is in addition to their regular monthly payments of $50 each as a share of oil and gas royalties the tribe receives from the nine fields being worked on the reservation. For the Shoyos, the landpayment claims mean $12,000 by next Jan. 1.

Then the payments stop. The land-payment checks represent more money than many tribal members ever before have received at one time. More importantly, the money represents a chance to get ahead. "We're talking about putting a little addition on the house and maybe fixing the insulation," said Shoyo, who has a good command of English even though he has only a third-grade education Shoshone is spoken almost exclusively in his home. "I use my work money for food, bills and the school kids," he said.

"I'm going to keep the kids' money in the bank and try to save most of ours, but it's hard to save for Indians." THE SHOSHONES, who share the reservation in westcentral Wyoming with the northern band of Arapahoes, reside mainly in Fort Washakie area. John Tidzump, another Shoshone who lives on the reservation with his wife and three grandchildren, said he would use his first land-payment check to pay bills. "But the next we'll try to save," Clyde Hobbs, BIA reservation supervisor for the past years, said he didn't notice a great deal of difference when Shoeshones received their first land-payment checks. "There was no excess of crime or he said. "They paid bills, bought consumer products and many bought cars.

Shoshones traditionally meet their financial obligations." Hobbs said 25 Shoshones left their funds with the BIA to draw interest, while banks in the nearby non-reservation community of Lander reported tribal members opened nearly 50 new checking and savings accounts in the first week after receiving the checks. Although many Shoshones purchased a wide variety of consumer goods, including appliances and autos, businesses in Lander reported no major increase in sales. The long-awaited payments finally became a reality Dec. 22 when President Nixon signed into law a bill authorizing the claims to the Wind River Shoshones, the Shoshone-Bannocks of Idaho and the Northwestern Shoshones in Utah. 'The three tribes had been bickering for more than three years about the funds, which were approved in 1968 by the Indian Claims Commission.

The tribes were awarded some $1.5 million for the lands in 1868, but filed claims for additional compensation shortly after World War II. Deaths ALDRICH-Sean Kenneth Aldrich, oneyear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth B. Aldrich, of RD 2, New Milford, died Friday at 9:55 p.

For immediate Need Call 797-8407 Bronze Memorials by Gorham Master Craftsmen in silver and bronze -Associated Press WIREPHOTO FLYING THE FLAG -Harrison Shoyo, a Shoshone Indian, puts up the flag as part of his maintenance job for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at Fort Washakie, Wyo. The job earns him a modest salary, but this year the Shoyos' income will get a boost: $12,000, their share of land payments from the federal government. The Wind River Shoshones will distribute 85 per cent of their $6,545,000 to tribal members with the other 15 per cent going to the six-member Tribal Business Council for use in Interior Department-approved projects. The 85-15 per cent ratio is the same used for distribution of other tribal funds. 'OF COURSE, THE PEOPLE were very happy to finally receive the payments," said Larry Murray, a Business Council member.

"Some of the older ones had felt it wouldn't happen until they were dead." Murray, 30, has a wife and five children--all tribal members. So the land-claim payments represent a substantial income boost to his family. Murray has a master's degree in education from Chadron State Teachers College in Nebraska and is coordinator of Indian education in Wyoming for the State Department of Education. "I'd rather have my share of the land than the payment claims," Murray said with a slight grin. "The government payments figure out to about 50 cents an acre." The Business Council will receive approximately $1 million as its share of the claims payments and will 1 use $750,000 of that to establish a tribal-run loan program.

For several years, the Shoshones have had loan programs through two banks in Lander, with the tribe guaranteeing 80 per cent of each loan. But that hasn't been entirely successful, as some Shoshones feel not enough tribal members have benefited. "We hope to offer attractive enough interest rates to make it possible for persons to enter into business or build homes," said Murray. "This will give the Shoshone people a chance to build and the ultimate goal is not to make money." The Shoshone Business Council also will use part of its funds for a land-purchase program. Individual tribal members owning heirship land sometimes sell the property, which then is held in trust by the BIA.

The tribe then can purchase the land and lease it back to individual Shoshones for farming or ranching. Murray said educational opportunities for young reservation Indians are improving, "although the drop-out rate is still high." The two tribes now budget per year for college scholarships. "I've seen the tribes take more and more interest in education," said Hobbs. He said latest figures showed 83 members of the two tribes were enrolled in college and another 30 in vocational schools. "THIS IS THREE TIMES as many as when I came here," he said.

But the opportunities for college graduates are extremely limited on the reservation, and many who obtain degrees don't return. Hobbs said of the 5,058 enrolled members of the two tribes, about 1,000 don't live on the reservation. However, they still receive tribal payments and are sharing in the land-claim funds. "They were moving out when I came here," he said, "but there's been no large outmigration." Other than agriculture, the opportunities on the reservation are few. "There is no money to build large plants on the reservation," Murray said.

"In the year I've been on the council there was only one serious attempt to attract an industry, and that fell through." The reservation also is rich in natural resources and has unexploited reserves of coal, gypsum and phosphate in addition to oil and gas. Of the Shoshone tribe's projected .1972 income of $1,686,400, which doesn't include the land-claim payments, $1.5 million will come from oil and gas royalties and $82,400 from leasing land for sand and gravel production. But feelings are mixed about wholesale exploitation of the land for mineral exploration. Murray said some companies have expressed interest in the minerals, "but there have been no solid offers. I don't think we'd look just at the money," he said.

"We would have to look at several other factors, including the environment, before any agreement could be reached." As one who left the reservation to obtain an education and then returned, Murray has strong feelings about his homeland. "We have one of the most beautiful spots in Wyoming and our best industry and future is to leave the reservation as virgin as possible," he said.
