Elders Gather Bear Grass and
Huckleberries
by Kathryn Dick
On Aug. 24, we took three elder
vans and met with other gatherers at the
Pine Cone Restaurant to head for
Cougar Rock. Bud Lane and Robert
Kentta took a group to Cougar Rock to
show us how to gather bear grass and
while there, we also picked huckle
berries. It was a wonderful day with lots
of fun and laughs.
The ride there was quite exciting.
Blinded by the dust, we slowly made
our way to Cougar Rock, very high on
top of the mountain. At one point, we
lost the vehicle ahead of us, but we
had a tracker on our van and she found
the road we were to take. We rocked
and rolled and bounced all the way to
the top.

We took a sack lunch and ate after
we arrived. It was quite fun getting out
and seeing how to get the bear grass
and pull it up. It was a hot day, but there
was shade.
Thanks to everyone who helped the
elders gather the grass they needed. On
the way down the hill, we stopped and
the elders who needed to were able to
get sticks from the trees. We’re looking
forward to some nice baskets this fall.
Being late in the day, we were
hungry and 17 elders stopped for dinner
in Lebanon at the Shari’s Restaurant.
With hugs and good-byes, we went our
separate ways. It was a great day and
all of us were tired, but it was such a
good tired.
