HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Okay, no problem; I can tell you about my family: I was born in east Africa, in Eritrea, and my father is Gebreselasie Gebretinsa. Okay. SGG: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGGI: And I was born in southern zone, it’s called Zoba Debub in Tigrinya, and the place he was born in Segeneiti – it’s a small village. [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: It’s around 70 kilometers south of the capital city Asmara. Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 3 SGG: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGGI: I was born and raised in Segeneiti, and when my age reached 18, I went for National Service. SGG: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGGI: And I have been in the army for around 11 years, and life was not comfortable for me. And I just left the country and moved some other place. HWE: Do you have any brothers or sisters? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yes. [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he has one sister, and there are four boys. Aand there was another brother – [Speaking in Tigrinya to interviewee.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he died in the war with Ethiopia before 1994 – the War of Liberation with Ethiopian’s army; he died in the struggle. HWE: And are you the only member of your family here, in the United States? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he’s the only one. HWE: What languages do you speak? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 4 SGGI: He speaks Tigrinya. HWE: And what ethnic or religious community do you consider yourself to be a part of? HWEI: [Repeating question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He is a Christian; he is a follower of Eritrean Orthodox Church. HWE: Can you tell me a little bit about Eritrea? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [06:31] SGGI: Eritrea is a beautiful and comfortable country to live, but at this time because of the situation of the war and the political system, it’s not becoming favorable for the people to live in it. SGG: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, at this time Eritrea is kind of in a war, so everybody is in the army for ten years or more; so people cannot live their life, cannot support their family – so everybody is leaving to help themself and to improve their life and the life of their family. So that’s why I move out of the country: in search of a good life, and better life. HWE: How long did you live in Eritrea? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He was living in Eritrea starting the date of his birth, 1975, up to 2008. HWE: Can you tell me about the experience of leaving? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, I am married and I have two children; since I was in the army I cannot support them, I cannot do anything. And it was for a long time. So I want to improve my life and my family’s lives. And I leave Eritrea to the Sudan’s border; then from Sudan he went to Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 5 Libya, through the desert there. He crosses the Mediterranean to Malta; and from Malta he came to the United States. HWE: Did you spend any time in a camp while you were coming over? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He was in Malta from 2008, up to 2012, under the Refugee Commission. HWE: What was it like being with the Refugee Commission in Malta? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: So Malta’s refugee camp was kind of good, because you are free to move out. So he was not in the camp, he was working in Malta – [Speaking to interviewee in Tigrinya] SGG: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He was working with some farmers on the farm. So while he was a refugee, until he comes to the United States, he was working earning money, and he was supporting his family and himself. So they didn’t have anything to worry in Malta, because they could work and they were working. [10:57] HWE: So how did you – when you were working on a farm back in Eritrea. HWEI: Eritrea. HWE: Right? HWEI: [Repeating statement in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, I was born in a farming family, so I was raised with them – so I was working on a farm. [Speaking in Tigrinya to interviewee.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 6 HWE: Can you talk about the food or the medical care that you received when you were in the refugee camp in Malta? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Okay, in the refugee camp in Malta, for the first seven months we were under the Refugee Commission until they finish all our registration and until they check and double-check our information. So they were providing us food, the house was clean; they give us shelter, clothes and bed. But after seven months, when they finish the registration stuff, we were allowed to leave the camp and to work. So after that I was working and earning money myself, and I was living by myself. HWE: What kind of work did you do? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He was working with the local farmers. HWE: Okay. SGGI: So they got a big farm. He was working with them. HWE: How did you celebrate, like, holidays when you were living in the camp? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [14:06] SGGI: Okay, he say it was okay; Maltans, they have a lot of holidays – and we celebrate all holidays with them. And their biggest holiday is Christmas, and we were celebrating it with the people. SGG: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGGI: And their second holiday was Easter, and we are celebrating it with them. HWE: What kinds of things did you do for Christmas and Easter? HWEI: [Repeating question in Tigrinya.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 7 SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he is saying he was so close with the family he was working with; they were kind of parents for me. And for the purpose of work he was rented in front, close to them; so most of the time, 25% of the time, he was celebrating the holiday with them. HWE: And how did that differ from how you celebrated it back in your home country? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: It’s kind of the same – they didn’t have any difference. HWE: Okay. So did you eat like any particular foods, or do anything particular? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He said in Malta they kind of live in extended family, so most of the time on holidays they don’t cook – they just go out all together. So since he was working with them, they always take him with them, and they go out and order food and get it; they don’t cook at all. HWE: Okay. And did you do anything else besides go out to eat? Did you go to church or anything like that? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [17:51] SGGI: Okay. In Malta they always go to church Saturday evening and Sunday morning. So the church was close to my apartment, and I kind of know their language at that time – so I used to go to their church. HWE: Now was it like an Orthodox church? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: No, Catholic. HWE: Okay. Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 8 SGGI: It was a Catholic church. HWE: So was that very different for you to go to a Catholic church, instead of Orthodox? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He said for him it doesn’t make any difference because in his home town, tthe place he grow up, the majority of the people are Catholics, and few are Orthodox; so he knows what Catholic is, and their culture. HWE: And in the camp – were there other people from Eritrea there? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: A lot. HWE: Was that the majority of the people there? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: The majority of the refugees were Somalians and people from West Africa. HWE: So did you end up celebrating at all with other people from your home country? Or did you mostly just go with the people you were working for? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he was saying the refugee’s holidays – they are always the same, so he was celebrating it with the family he was working; but the public holidays – he was celebrating them with the people from Eritrea. HWE: What kinds of public holidays did you celebrate? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [21:39] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 9 SGGI: He said the religious holidays are the same, so he would sometime celebrate them with the family he was working, but holidays like May 24th (that means it’s Eritrean Independence Day) and June 20 (it’s kind of Memorial Day – we call it the Martyrs’ Day) – he was celebrating it with the Eritreans. HWE: And how did you celebrate those holidays? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Most of the people – after they were allowed to leave the camp in war, they rented their own apartment, so they would celebrate the whole island. So when there is holidays they rent a big hall, and they prepare food and drinks, and they celebrate it together. HWE: And what kinds of food and drinks did you have? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: For the foods they buy meat and some of them they prepare ingera, and they just make food just like the way we do at home. And for the drink they just buy beer. HWE: So for the meat would you get like a whole animal? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: So they were buying beef from groceries. HWE: Okay. And did you get the beer from the grocery too? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [Laughs] SGGI: Yeah, that is the only way – you can buy it from groceries [laughs]. HWE: [Laughs] So how did Malta feel about the refugees coming in from Eritrea? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 10 SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [25:06] SGGI: Malta is a small island, its population is around half million, 500,000. So at first, when the refugees come to their area, they didn’t like it because it’s a small country, and there are a lot of refugees; but some time they get used to them, so they were friendly. Then after they get their refugee status, American Immigration System, they came to them and they give them asylum to the United States. HWE: So did you feel safe when you were there? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He says the country is so nice – it’s a free country, nobody talks to you, nobody even asks, nobody stops you. But when they first arrived in Malta, the people they don’t like them; sometimes even if they see another Eritrean or another refugee on the bus they just leave the whole bus. But after some time they get used to them Then they didn’t care anymore. HWE: And how did you learn about the U.S. refugee program? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: There was a refugee office over there, a refugee commission office, so he go over there to the office, and there are a lot of refugee places to go: Europe, Canada, America (or United States of America), and Australia. You choose which area you want to go, you just go and you settle with them and they take care of your process. HWE: Okay, so you can choose which country you want to go to? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [28:42] SGGI: They ask you question and if you want to go to Germany, France, Holland (or the Netherlands), Slovakia, and Hungary. I don’t want to go that places, so I tell them that I am not going to these places and they give me opportunity to go to the United States. HWE: And how did you apply to do that? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 11 HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, at that time, the United States were taking a lot of Eritrean refugees, so as soon as I know the United States taking refugees, I went there and applied. And it took me around seven years to process everything. And I did my interview and they gave me the congratulation paper. That means they accepted him. And after that he came to the United States. HWE: So did someone in the office help you do that process, with all the paperwork and stuff? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, in their office they have a translator, a paid translator, so I go through the process. In Malta at the Immigration Office you cannot do it the way we do it in Africa, because in Africa you can bribe stuff like that, but in Malta you cannot do that; you have to go through all the process. They provide you translator, and they check everything, your background and other stuff. And when you pass everything they tell you when you come. When you finish your immigration process, then when they approve you, you just come to the United States. [31:34] HWE: And can you tell me a little bit about the journey to the United States? HWEI: You mean the airplane journey? HWE: Yeah, or how you go from Malta to the U.S.? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: [Speaking in Tigrinya to interviewee.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Okay. So when all their process is done, when their flight is scheduled to show up in Malta, the Refugee Commission – they took them to the airport; they put them in the airplanes and they showed them their chair and they told them, “Good luck, have a nice trip.” And from Malta, they fly to England for a transit. And in England some people were waiting for them – and the same thing: these people, they took them to the next Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 12 airplane, and they put them on the airplane (they same the thing), “Good luck, nice trip.” And after that, from England they landed in New York. HWE: And were there other Eritrean refugees going on the plane with you? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: There were four Eritreans and three Somalians on the plane. HWE: So you came to New York first. Did you fly, then, directly from New York to Salt Lake? Or did you spend time in another place in the U.S.? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [34:51] SGGI: Okay, when they come from Malta, their destination was not New York – it was Las Vegas, Nevada; but they stayed two days in New York because the weather was bad. Planes could not fly that day; so they stayed two days. Then after the weather got normal, they flew to Las Vegas, Nevada, for their final destination. And he stayed three months in Las Vegas. [Speaking in Tigrinya to interviewee.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] HWE: What time of year was it when you were flying? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: [Speaking in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: It was December 7, 2012. HWE: What were the first months like in Las Vegas? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 13 SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He said, Las Vegas is okay, but I didn’t like it – it’s too hot. But I stayed there for three months because he was going to English classes. After he finished the first three months of the class, then he moved to – [speaking Tigrinya to interviewee] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He moved to Logan. HWE: Where were you taking English classes in Las Vegas? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He was going to the Catholic school church, because this Catholic school – the Catholics, they got an organization for the refugees (they help with their flight and other stuff). So he was going there – it was for free. The first couple of months when you show up here, you need to get your social security, you have to get your ID (that is a kind of work permit). So I was waiting for the papers, but I decided to go to school instead of just sitting and wait for the papers. HWE: Were you there with other members of the Eritrean community? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [38:21] SGGI: When he come from Malta, he was with three other Eritreans (that means four of them), so they were all assigned to Las Vegas. So four of them, they give them one house with three bedrooms; so they were staying together for the first three months. And after three months he moved to Logan. HWE: And the others stayed in Las Vegas? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: They stayed there; they are still there. HWE: What else was Las Vegas like, besides too hot? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 14 HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He said Las Vegas has a lot of big building, beautiful places: hotels, houses and other stuff – but it’s not like Utah; I didn’t like it. He can’t see a lot of stuff there. HWE: So you were in like a more rural area when you were in Eritrea? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he was more in a rural area. Then he moved to a small town. HWE: How could your situation, when you first came to the United States, have been improved? I mean, in terms of like the help you received. HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [41:28] SGGI: When they first showed up – the United States government helps us a lot: they do whatever we need necessary. When we first show up they give us 1100 dollars each in our hand, but we don’t know anybody in this country, so they ask the Refugee Commission to rent house for them. So they help them to rent a house or apartment with their money. And everyone, they were given – [speaking in Tigrinya to interviewee] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: [Speaking in Tigrinya to interviewee.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: They were giving them 350 dollars every month. They were assigned to take 350 for eight months, but as soon as he moved in the third month he get 350 dollars every month for the first three months. And he came to Logan, so they cut the money they were giving him. HWE: Oh. So when you decided to move to another place they stopped giving you the money? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 15 SGGI: He said you can take it – they don’t stop it, but most of the time if you got a job, I don’t need any assistance. So thanks God when I moved here, I got a job, so I don’t want to take money anymore. HWE: Did you not have a job in Las Vegas? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: No. HWE: Okay. How long have you lived in Logan? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Two years. HWE: And where do you work? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: JBS Beef Company. SGGI: JBS Beef Company in Hyrum. HWE: What is like here? HWEI: You mean work, or? HWE: Work and just life in general in this area. HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [44:05] SGGI: He likes Utah – it’s a good place to live; I didn’t see any bad things here, so it’s a nice place to live here. HWE: Do you feel like you’re included in the Logan community? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 16 HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: This is a good place to live. Most of the time we spend our time at work, so he cannot say anything about any other people; they cannot say they include me, they didn’t include me, but every time we are at work and at home. HWE: Do you live with other people here? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] HWE: Oh, you live on your own, right? You said that already. HWEI: [Repeating the statement in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, he got two roommates. HWE: Oh, okay. Okay, is there anything that you think would make you feel more at home here? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] HWEI: [Speaking to interviewee in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He said now I want to stay in America, so I am improving my life and I am looking for a better opportunities. We are waiting for this country to grow up and for us to get more opportunities. HWE: How is living here different than living back home? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [47:44] SGGI: Life in America is so expensive, rent is expensive; you cannot live if you don’t have work. And even though you are not going to live with anybody, everybody wants money. Back home, life is not expensive; so, for example, if you don’t have any apartment to Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 17 live, you can live with families, you can live with other people for some time; you can share with everybody. But here you have to work hard and pay a lot of money for life. HWE: How has it been renting an apartment or house? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He said when I compare with Malta – In Malta I used to have my own one bedroom apartment and that one bedroom includes everything: furniture, bed, kitchen utensils, refrigerator, and everything – and he was paying only 150 dollar for it (150 Euros for it). But here, rent is so expensive it’s just – cannot compare; it’s too expensive. HWE: And what is your landlord like? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [50:29] SGGI: Yeah, he is sole renter of the apartment they live in now – the landlord, we never sees him. There was a time when we used to go over their place, but now they got a drop box; we just write a money order or check, you just drop it. They don’t say anything; they don’t even come to the apartment. HWE: What would you like people in Logan to know about you and other members of your community here? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] HWEI: [Speaking to interviewee in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He is saying I would like to thank for, not only for Logan, but for the government of the United States, because they know we got in trouble, so they are helping us: they are bringing us over here, and they tried to find jobs and apartments for us. So I came to the United States in Las Vegas when I came here, and they’re still helping me. But the state of Utah, they accept a lot of refugees from Eritrea, and they try to help them with work, school, housing and other stuffs. So I appreciate the United States government for helping the Eritrean communities, and I want them to keep helping because there are still more people who needs extra help. Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 18 HWE: Would you go back to Eritrea if you were able to do that? HWEI: You mean to visit, or just go back entirely? HWE: Both, I guess. HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [54:07] SGGI: He is saying as long as the political situation is the same in Eritrea and the government stays there, I don’t want to go there and I cannot go there because this government is not treating us well. I have been in the army for 11 years. How can a person stay in the army for 11 years without payment. But if administration changed, I would like to go visit my families and see Eritrea; all the people of Eritrea are friendly and nice people. So I want to go there and see them; it has been too long since the time I was out of Eritrea. HWE: So you said earlier you had a wife and two kids in Eritrea? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, I have a wife and two kids. HWE: Are you still in communication with them? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, I call them. HWE: Do you send them money? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah. SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 19 SGGI: Yeah, I am the sole helper of the [???] community. HWE: Do they have any plans to come join you here? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, I applied for them to join me here, and the immigration system (or the Visa center), they approved my application – they even called them for interview, but my children, they are so small so I cannot take them out safely, so I don’t want to expose them in danger because they are too young. So they are entirely dependent, so when they grow up or when there is a possibility to take them out they will come and join him. HWE: How old are your children? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: The boy is ten and the girl is eight. HWE: What are you most proud of, in terms of having come here? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [57:42] SGGI: He said I am proud to be here because this country is a big country, and there is a lot of opportunities if you think hard and work hard you can do whatever you want to do: you can go to school – you can work and go to school. So the only thing you need to do here is just work hard and think hard, and you just do whatever you want to do; you can reach your dreams. HWE: What are your dreams for the future? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [High pitched feedback noise begins 58:29] SGGI: He saying when we come here I need to learn – so he was going to school [??] for four months; and now he is going to the English school. So he his plans now is to work in the daytime and go to school in the evening in order to improve his life. Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 20 HWE: What, specifically, would you like to have change in your life after you learn English? HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [High pitched feedback ends 59:45] [60:00] SGGI: Yeah, I never went to school when I was back home, so I didn’t have education background. So the reason I am going to school now is I don’t want to be illiterate, because I will try to read and do his stuff on his own. And when his children show up (or when they come to the United States) he just wants to help them [high pitched feedback noise begins 60:20 when they are in school and other stuff, because he needs to learn the language. If he don’t know the language, he cannot help his own. HWE: I think that might be about it; do you guys have anything you want to ask? [To other fieldworkers] No? Okay. Is there anything that we haven’t asked you that you think we should know? [to interviewee] HWEI: [Repeating the question in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] [end feedback noise 61:34, begins again at 61:47 and continues to end] [End part 1 of 2 – 62:05] [Part 2 of 2 – 00:01] [high pitched feedback noise from beginning] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: He saying when they come to the United States when they are in Malta, they gave them three days course how the United States government works and everything. And they told them, “If you guys are married, your family will follow you here between six to eight months. If you are not married, [end feedback noise at 00:37] and if you plan to come back some countries can get married and take them to the United States, if better if you become a citizenship, then it will be easier.” But his wife is in Ethiopia now, his children are in Eritrea, but his wife is in Ethiopia; she did an interview a year ago, but she is still waiting for the flight in Ethiopia. It has been more than two years since he has been here and it has been more than a year since she did the interview; she is just waiting for the flight. So there was some kind of misunderstanding. The way they tell them in Malta, and the way things are going here – they are not the same. HWE: Okay. I think this concludes our interview. Thanks for agreeing to meet with me. And we do have like a release form to put the interview into the Archives at USU, and also, I Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Seltene Gebreselasie Gebretinsa Page 21 think, [high pitched feedback noise begins 01:40 and continues to end] for it to be used in our online exhibit, and also for– like we are going to have a community event on Thursday that I will tell you more about. HWEI: [Repeating the statement in Tigrinya.] SGG: [Responding in Tigrinya.] SGGI: Yeah, no problem; he will sign your paper. [End part 2 of 2 – 02:25]

But we weren't able to find it. So I moved up here in August. We were bored one night . .We started looking on thr i tc~nct for thinGs t0 d~ in L0C:''1, - ~~ h~ rem m!:-('rcc!_ H:: V!'JS try!~z t flr.d the Nunnery so we kind of found the directions on the Internet and decided to go up there. It was about 11:00 at night when we started out. At 11:00, we gathered up some people. AGP: And so had you heard tit'"· stories at..out th N.1i·,;-:2fr ; TE: What Y..'e decided to d~ is we were !ook!!'1[; for do, we dcdc0~ tc rc2.d i t0 th:- to~ic!: t khrl of fr?J1: ( ours_;!".J<.:s cut; to sec ·' :Jt it '/las all about. 1 ( ( AGP: So what had you heard? TE: A couple of the stores that read was that the cabins up there were summer homes for the Owner of tried to sell it to the University. The University didn't want it so he ended up selling it to the Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church took over; and started running the Nunnery out of it. Up there, there's of wedlock out of there and take them into the swimming pool and drown them. One account we read, you walk in there and you kind of get this eerie feeling. We tried that out, and it's true. TE: You 1NJ!k in and th{!re 's just this cold spot; and it kind of sends chills down your back. We read the fftO!)i rt.:i.-'-•t .. .w· .... ~ ... -· -· i\. -. .. ,...._-1 • i.; ...... . , ;._ .. ,. __ ............... - .... ,.. ____ ....__.; :...: ........... . ....;. - ~---- ,.__ .. . ....... - _ ... _ . . __ . ., .. _ " .. ..... ..... up there, and there's three security guards.

We're thrill seekers so we tried. If someone says, "Don't do it," we do it just to prove them wrong, that it can be done. AGP: Yeah? AGP: Have you encountered any mortal beings or any security issues? there with us but the people we go up there with. stuff? mile away from the entrance, kind of walk up. You had to cross this bridge, and if you go walking up it, it looking directly at the swimming pool, and you could see the silhouette of a person; just one person.

It's pretty fun. It's scary, too because sometimes you're in some of the buildings alone by yourself and you hear the old wood creek. It gives you a rush.

We got, there's probably about eight regulars, and then our groups usually range from eight to twenty. Anywhere in there. AGP: So it just depends on like what's going on? TE: Yeah. It depends on the night; if it's a week day or weekend; wha~' s the next ctay; if thc·rc's te:;.ts people have to take or whatnot.

And then they call the rest of us, that the people don't know, say, "Hey, we're going up there at this time. Be there." And so we'll just go around scaring people. We've got it clown to an art sc> that i.hey c.::;tc>iii words, we'll k cvv how to react. AGP: Can you give me an example of that? 3 ( ( ( TE: There's one, there's a three story house with a big glass window. It would be on the southeast side of it. And just south of that big old house, there's three little cabins. And they come walking down, and they kind of, they're making noise, you know. And we have person that throws on a hood, and they're standing in the glass window. And what they do is, they'll walk around to the side of the house, and they'll take a flashlight, and they'll run it over the window; and they'll see someone there. And they'll kind of freak out, and they'll run it back. And by the time they pass it by the second time, the person ducks below the window so t hey're not sec11. So you sec a shactov:, <:~ silhci.i~t'.. c o~ a p.:.f5!)!1 at fr JL Th.:: .-, the second time, it's gone. That really gets to girls.

But I realized we were up there with friends. but if I had been up there by rn\·sc!f, i wouk~'vc been t ·r rificd, 'OLJ knvv •.

We got to. AGP: Yeah. Yeah. and see like this was built in the '60s or 70s and kind of see the structure of it. It's super close to the highway, but there's so many trees around. If you don't it's there, you'll never notice it. TE: Just trying to think if there's been anything else. I t hink those are like the main stories. TE: The main experience where you see the silhouette in the pool. Oh, there's one time, we came out of " - - ., -1 ~ ' ~ - T" .. ., ~., - 1 'f ~ - l. ;,__'t.,.

TE: And we had our freshman roommate, and he was trying to prove himself to us. AGP: Yeah. TE: So we dared him to go and check it out because it just looked suspicious. So after about twenty minutes of convincing him to go down, he went and ripped the bag open. It was just a bag of leaves. It was just funny seeing that. It's something I think lots of people should go up there and check it out because it's pretty interesting. AGP: Do you think, because I didn't really get a lot of responses as far as people going back up to the Nunnery, so do you think it's rare or do you think? I mean, are you one of the only groups of people that go up there or do you think other people do it? TE: If they do, they don't do it as much as us. You know what I mean? AGP: Yeah. TE: Because, like I've said, we've probably gone up there a dozen or more times, and we've never seen another group up there. AGP: And have you ever heard people talk about it? ( TE: I haven't heard anyone talk about going up there. If we have, it's like people going up there like two years ago. AGP: Yeah. TE: Nothing too recent. AGP: Well, again, is there anything else you would like to say? TE: I think that's it. AGP: I think that's it. Okay. ( 5

Introduced Fishes, Game Birds, and Game and Fur-Bearing Mammals of Utah by Boris Hewitt Popov

The introduced Fishes, Game Birds, and Game and Fur-Bearing Mammals of Utah by Boris Hewitt Popov. A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology, Utah State Agricultural College, 1949.
For a number of years wildlife workers have realized the importance of the past histories of introduced species. Emphasis in recent years has been directed toward introductions because of the tremendous hunting and fishing pressures. Yearly increases in numbers of hunters and fishermen have been noted in Utah for the past forty years. It is hoped that this compilation of the histories of the introduced game and fish species of Utah will be of value to sportsmen and wildlife managers alike in planning future introductions. The material included in this paper was obtained from United States Government reports, Utah Territorial, reports, Utah State reports, newspapers and periodicals, personal interviews, and wardens' questionaires. The United States Government reports used included Bureau of Fisheries reports from 1870 to 1939, and Fish and Wildlife Service reports from 1940 to 1948. Utah Territorial reports covered the period from 1850 to 1895, and Utah State reports covered the time from 1896 until the present. Newspapers used in the search for material included the Deseret Evening News from 1860 to 1915, the Deseret News Weekly from 1870 to 1900, the Salt Lake Tribune from 1915 to 1948, and the Ogden Standard Examiner from 1930 to 1940. Other periodicals searched were the Journal History of the L.D.S. Church, the Transactions of the Utah Academy of Arts, Sciences, and Letters, and the Utah Educational Review. An effort was made to personally interview all present and former officials, now living, of the Utah State Fish and Game Department, Also personally contacted were sportsmen and wildlife federation officers known to haves been active in fish and game work. Most of the data necessary to plot the maps accompanying this paper were obtained from questionaires sent to all wardens in the state. Distribution maps have been verified by officials of the Utah State Fish and Game Department. It is realized that the exact dates and circumstances pertaining to some of the early introductions are somewhat confused. However, an effort has been made to include only material which appears to be substantiated with facts and references. It is possible that in some cases introductions were made prior to those indicated herein as first introductions. It is also possible that in some instances early workers may have used incorrect scientific and common names. In most cases, however, it is felt that the materials and figures included in this paper are reasonably accurate. Throughout the paper the fish, game birds, and game and fur-bearing mammals will be treated in phylogenetic sequence.
