Elders Continue Fun Activities
Elder of the Month
The elder of the month is selected at
random. I have had such a wonderful
experience becoming acquainted with our
tribal elders that I think everyone should
know a little something about each of them,
recognize them, and get to know them.
Portland State University is offering the
following fall 2000 courses for the Tribal
Administration Program (TAP). Classes
begin Sept. 25.
