Vera Lafferty (r) works with others to make dentalium necklaces at Culture Camp. Elders Teach Our Youth The summer Culture Camp was a great success. We had several tribal elders teaching different crafts at the camp. Aggie Pilgrim and soon to be elder Elizabeth John both showed people how to make moccasins. Daniel Brown and Carol Blomstrom showed others how to cook salmon in the traditional way. Still others made baskets and beaded necklaces. It was very enjoyable and we learned to make many different cultural items.

Oregon Teen Conference When: Oct. 11-14,2001 Where: Nike campus in Beaverton, Ore. Who: Oregon teens enrolled in the Independent Living program Cost: Free! Presented by: FosterClub, the state of Oregon, and the DHS Independent Living Program Info: www.fosterclub.com/teenconf or 503-646-8796 FosterClub was started by a foster parent who saw that her two teen-age boys, age 11 and 13, deserved some “good stuff" for being foster kids. Foster kids are good kids who have had bad things happen to them, and she thought that she could help give them a break and maybe help make things a little easier. 8 □ Siletz News □ Today, nearly 600,000 kids are in foster care in the U.S. Although being a foster kid can be lonely sometimes, it’s important that foster kids realize that many other kids are in the same situation. And even more importantly, a lot of people really do care about what foster kids go through. FosterClub’s mission is to give foster children a network that allows them to communicate with others and provide them with education, motivation, and benefits that the foster care system usually does not provide.
