Abstract
"I Frank Buck I am sorry to say I almost didn't make it to this dedication. (Was picked up in March on Reservation, sentenced to 90 days in jail and fined by Wapato court.) But I am glad to be here. I have a few words to express about white people. You are glad that this Priest Rapids Dam is finished. You are dedicating it today. We are very glad to be here with you today. This power is very important to you. This power is just like your food. The water that is making this power provides you all the food you need. Your power and my power are two different things. This power doesn't make any difference t me whether it was here today. My food grows. It doesn't have to be taken care of. It doesn't have to be planted, plowed or watered."
