8 University Daily Kansan Nation/World Wednesday, April 30, 1986 Indian youths talk of drug abuse United Press International WASHINGTON - Indian teenagers told a House panel yesterday that lack of jobs, recreation, education and parental understanding contributed to the alcohol and drug abuse among youth on reservations. "They feel they can't make it in a white man's world. They feel alienated," Rhoda Tso "a Page, Ariz., high school student, testified. 'It's two separate worlds, and they clash." Teenagers from more than a dozen western and midwestern states blamed drinking and drug use among friends and siblings on aimlessness, a general understanding, communication and support. Many of the teenagers, in Washington for an Indian youth conference, testified that 50 percent to 80 percent of the students in their high schools used alcohol and drugs. races combined. National surveys indicate Native American youths have a higher death rate from accidents, The committee is considering two bills by Rep. John McCain, R-Ariz, Rep. Douglas Beresuter, R-Neb, and Rep. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., which would provide comprehensive programs to prevent drug and alcohol abuse among Native American youth, both Indians and Eskimos. Both measures provide for treatment, family counseling programs and education about the dangers of drinking and drug use, including its effects on unborn babies. Education would begin in kindergarten and extend through high school. However, some teenagers urged the panel to start with preschool children. The Bereuter bill also calls for establishing summer youth recreational and employment programs, and creating temporary shelters for Indian youths arrested for drunkenness. The youths, supporting the legislation, stressed the need for stability, counseling, supervision, family participation, better education, employment and recreational facilities and communication between Indians and whites. Jason Wyasket, a Ute Indian representing a youth committee on Utah's Uintah and Ouray Reservation, said the youth felt nobody really cared. "They are a role model, but in the wrong way," he said. Jail, he said, is a bad influence on drunken Indian youths because people in the jail tell the youths drinking is cool. "The parents say they care, but they don't know how to communicate with their sons and daughters." he said. Tso said a survey of 103 seniors at Page High School, which both white and Indian students attend, indicated that 41 percent of the 63 Indians in class used alcohol and that 24 percent used drugs. Native American parents who herd sheep all day don't stress education to their children, she said.
