ncjg fLMi n ncncndc ic n nciczicsi n n i c The Indian, as we like to rcmenilier him, belonged to an era when educa- tion was acquired not from a textbook l)ut from hard experience. Early in life he gained a thorough knowledge of hunting, fishing, trapping — of fighting and killing. His entire education consisted of practical less »ns in survival and his life span was a direct token of how well he had learned his lessons. Since then, changes in civilization ha e created profound changes in education. No longer is it necessary to give complete attention to the problems of sur ival. The hunting, fishing and woods lore of the Chinook, the Snoho- mish, the Tlingit have been superseded by the study of economics, engineering, science and art. We have harnessed the machine to accomplish tasks which the Indian did with bare hands. In more general terms, we have suJjstituted friendly cooperation for the Redskin ' s famed self-reliance. The peace pipe and the warbonnet have been discarded for public forums and arbitration. The time once spent in acquiring the fine points of combat can now be devoted to the projdems of enduring peace in the largest of all tribal councils — the I niled Nations World Security Council. Perhajts in commemoration, then, of a bit of America ' s ad enturous past is why first editors and tudenls chose as the name of the University of Wash- ington yearbook a Nootka Indian word. From the old Chinook jargon. TYEE means foremost, superior, chief. Not only does it remain a syniiiol. luil it has set a goal, a standard for achievement. TYEE 1946 strides forth to meet that challenge with a book as authentic in tribal design as it has strived to be in color, in jargon. For. no matter how limes have changed, we will not forget the Indian ' s colorful contriliution to the history of our country. No account of the Ihiited States would be complete without him. TYEE 1946 pays tribute to the Redman — the Nootka, the Salish, the Yakima, the Umatilla. He is America. Slj]
