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.

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.

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.
