KLAGETOH, Ariz. (AP) — An
nie WaLtneka, 78, laughs loudly
when recalling how she once blood
ied the nose of a “disrespectful"
white lawyer before an astonished
Navajo Tribal Council.
She wipes away a tear when speak
ing of her father, Chee Dodge, the
first chairman of the Navajo Tribe,
who died 40 years ago.
And she dismisses with a sigh
those who would label her the tribe's
“last princess” or its “first feminist.”
“I’m a pure sheepherder, except
for a little education,” said Wau-
neka, a short, gray-haired grand
mother speaking from the living
room of her orange sandstone house
in this tiny eastern Arizona village.
Though little known among the
non-Indian public, Wauneka long
has been one of the most powerful
figures in America’s largest tribe.
She was the second woman ever
elected to the Navajo Tribal Council
and remains the only Indian ever
awarded the Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
She was recently honored again
when a new health clinic in Farming-
ton, N.M., was named for her.
At 78, Annie Dodge Wauneka is a
living legend in a white pickup, still
traveling the remote roads of this
vast reservation, fighting for the
health and education of her people.
In the beginning, however, were
sheep.
She learned to herd, shear and
butcher her family’s sheep like any
Navajo girl. But her father also sent
her to government schools and
made sure she learned English.
Her bilingualism became useful
when she became an interpreter in
the 1940s during the U.S. Bureau of
Indian Affairs’ controversial pro
gram to reduce Navajo sheep herds
to ease overgrazing on the reserva
tion.
Then she returned to herding
and rearing her six children. She still
lives with her husband, George, hut

or its “first feminist " and
insists she's a , except for a
little education
Annie Wauneka, Navajo
Princess
her children, four daughters and
two sons, have moved on.
Before she returned home, she'd
earned a reputation for intelligence
and honesty, and in 1951 she was
urged to take the almost unprece
dented step of running for the Tri
bal Council. She won handily, begin
ning 27 years of service on the t ribe's
highest policy-making body. She also
began raising eyebrows with her out
spoken style
At one of her first council meet
ings, she questioned why a B1A of fi
cial often sal beside the tribal chair
man “whispering in his ear.”
“I just asked everybody, 'What is
he (the official) doing up there- Is
this how we do self-government?’
Wauneka said mildly. “I asked if
maybe he (the official) should not he
up there.”
The practice ceased.
But Wauneka’s biggest challenge
came a few years later, when she was
assigned by the council to deal with
white doctors on addressing an epi
demic of tuberculosis on the reserva
tion.
Not only was TB killing or disa
bling thousands of Navajos, but ef
forts to fight it were crippled bv tra
ditional beliefs about its origin and
by medicine men’s opposition to
white man’s medicine.
After educating herself about the
disease, Wauneka began an odyssej
that earned her legendary status
among her people. In a station
wagon and, later, a pickup, she tras
eled throughout the remote, 15-mil'
lion-acre Navajo Reservation, visit
ing the sic k and counseling families
about nutrition and sanitation.
At that time, most Navajos still
lived in hogans, she said, traditional
six-sided, windowless structuressviik
dirt floors.
“They sat, ate and slept on the
floor, and they took water and food
from the same containers. No won
der thev had TB,” Wauneka said.
So site began preaching the gospel
of white man’s medicine, of tiny,in
visible “bugs” that carried disease,
Gradually, site was able to overcome
the people’s suspicions and persuade
them to begin following sanitart
practices.
flic* story most often told a bo m
Wauneka’s f orthright manner con
cerns a voting white attorney in the
early 1970s working for the tribe un
der ;t federal program. The council
members had formally agreed thai
they wanted to fire the man but were
blocked by a legal provision in hii
contract, Wauneka said.
One day, when the council was
disc ussing the matter, the attomei
"laughed and made a disrespectful
noise that no person should make,"
she said.
It so angered her when the chair
man called a recess, Wauneka strode
over to the offending lawyerandde-
manded he leave, according tone-
counts by her and others. When he
didn't, she punched him three time
in the nose; the man then left,bleed
ing.
In 1963, she was awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom h
then-President Johnson for het
work improving tribal healthcare.

FORT WORTH (AP) — As a child W.T. Oxford was
a bookish type who dreamed of finding fortune in
South America.
But adolescence dawned and found Oxford in his
native Polytechnic neighborhood in Fort Worth, deliv
ering milk and newspapers.
Adulthood came and his life was what he terms unex
citing as he piloted a Fort Worth city bus for eight veat s.
Then in 1944, Oxford found his treasure — in old
books that weren’t his. He became “just a bookbinder"
as he puts it.
But not JUST a bookbinder.
At 73, W.T. Oxford is the senior bookbinder at Fort
Worth’s oldest repairer and restorer of old tomes,
Worth Bindery.
In 44 years, Oxford — whose surname befits a biblio
phile — has breathed new life into countless thousands
of old, tattered volumes. Bibles and cookbooks, law
journals and historic works. Outworn and antiquated ti
tles, each important enough to its owner to he brought
to the bindery for rebuilding.
From his work station at the bindery, Oxford — an
upright white-haired man with spectacles and long,
gnarled fingers — caressed each book as though it were
his, which it is, for a fleeting few days.
“T he way I feel about books is that every hook has its
character, its own personality, and I try to treat them
that way,” he said. “We get mostly Bibles, and vour
hand Bibles usually have gotten deteriorated bv a lot of
use.
“With the large family Bibles, lots of times the gen-
eaology pages can be used for legal purposes. People
will cut them out for court, then want me to put them
back in, which I can do.”
With books of religious import, Oxford learns some
thing about the owners, people he rarely meets in die
flesh.
“By the notes people write in Billies, you can tell if
they’re Baptist, which I am, Methodist, Pentecostal, or
whatever,” he said.
At times Oxford, a substitute Sunday School teacher
at Sagamore Hill Baptist Church, finds fodder to incor
porate into his religious pilgrimmage.
“I’m bad about copying some of the notes people put
into their Bibles,” he said.
“Sometimes, they’re choice insights on life, little ker
nels of wisdom. Sometimes, I don’t agree with them,
but they’re funny or something, so I copy 'em down
anyway.
“Fots of times, the stuff written in a Bible was done
bv somebody who’s gone on,” he said. “One ladv
brought in her father’s old Bible. He'd been a teacher
or circuit-riding preacher and she brought it in to pre
serve his notes, his thoughts.
“If there’s scribbling in there, we’re careful not to
delete it because it might have been done by a child
who’s since passed on.”
rite bindery itself is a throwback to old Fort Worth.
Founded in 1928 by B.C. Curtis, whosedaughterOx-
ford later married. Worth Bindery opened at 1211
Throckmorton in a downtown block that was knownas
“Printers Row.” Two moves ensued, but a small-scale
family orientation was retained. And though job print
ing is part of the Worth operation, the linn’s reputation
is in restoration.
Whereas most binderies nowadays deal onlv in new
books and orders of 200 or more, Worth caters to indi
viduals with single books of sentimental value. Itisan
out-of-the way rear portion of a warehouse across
White Settlement Road from Angelo’s Barbecue.
“We’re sort of an unusual business,” said binderv
Vice President W.H. “Buddy" Randall, who joined the
company after present owner C.M. Pier became sole
owner in 1968. “We started in the Depression and made
it through the Depression, supporting two families.
“Every piece of equipment we have in here is bought
and paid for before we bring in it in.
“We’ve always had the same number of employees,
between 10 and 12, and we’ve always had the same phi
losophy,” Randall said. “We don’t want to grow. We’ve
found a niche in the world we like."
He said that in 1987, “which was a slow year fonts,
we did over 400 hand Billies alone ... not countingthe
family Bibles and the other books.”
A Madison Avenue advertising scheme is not part of
the Worth Bindery operation.
“We advertise in the Yellow Pages, and do a little bit
of direct mail, but that’s about it," Randall said. “Last
year, we let Mr. Oxford start calling on customers,
which lie’s very good at.”
The cost for restoring an old hook, Randall said,
ranges f rom about $50 to $150.
“And sometimes people don’t understand .that," he
said. “They don’t understand how delicate the work is,
how long it lakes and that we do almost everything bv
hand.”
Oxford treats each volume as a phvsician would ait
infirm patient.
His tools include a “folder,” an instrument madeol
whale bone “because that's the only kind of bone that
won’t chip." There also is a curved, razor-sharp “skiving
knife" used exclusively for intricate peeling off of line
layers of the supple, pliable leather the company orders
from New ] ersey.
Houston judges, lawyers pay
respects to Percy Foreman
HOUSTON (AP) — Most Harris
County courts shut their doors for
the funeral and burial of Percy Fore
man. the forcef ul, f amous and some
times irreverent attorney whose 60-
year legal career ended last Thurs
day’ after an apparent heart attack.
From the words of praise that
came from the pulpit to the 100-car
procession that led miles to the cem
etery, Foreman left his life as he had
lived it — yvith flair.
He yvas remembered Monday as a
friend and teacher as judges and
some of Houston’s top layvvers gath
ered to pay tribute to the famous
criminal attorney.
1 here is a great youl m a tot ot
people’s liyes right now.’’ began
Foreman's partner, Mike DeCein in.
one of the layvvers yvho delivered in
formal euglogies Monday .
His voice breaking, DeCeurin
closed by urging his approximately
500 listeners “to yvork together to fill
that void. We have to do that. God
bless vou, Percy.”
“Every day of his life, lie taught
somebody something,” DeCeurin
said.
Foreman, 86, was an institution
“in this community long before I be
came a lawyer, and I'm finishing 30
years as a judge,” said State District
Judge Miron I.ove. 67.
DeGeurin's brother, Dick DeGut-
t in, who spells his name different
from Mike and who is a forme!
member of the same firm, said
yvhen Foreman started out. “f.riim-
nal layv yvas not glamorous.’'
"It was dirty work, and the lav
yet s who practiced it were dirtier
than their clients,” DeGuerin said-
‘You elevated that to an honorable
profession.”
DeGuerin said Foreman “lau|
the y irtues of courage, streng
hard work — and no compromise.
