PENDLETON ROUND-UP Tuesday, September 14, 2021 East Oregonian A11 Indian Village rises ahead of Round-Up By BEN LONERGAN East Oregonian PENDLETON — As dawn broke Sunday, Sept. 12, over the Pendleton Round-Up Grounds, dozens of tribal members from across the Pacifi c Northwest descended on the Indian Village to begin assembling teepees. For many, including 65-year-old Odie Minthorn, the Round-Up Indian Village has been a tradition that has stretched on for generations. “My grandmother was here in 1910,” said Minthorn. “I’ve been doing this forever.” Minthorn is an enrolled member of the Cayuse and Umatilla tribes and said his family has been partic- ipating in the village since the founding days of the Round-Up. As Minthorn helped tie off the top of the four pole frame that supports his teepee, he remarked at the mix of memories that come with returning to the Indian Village each year. “I’m sad and I’m glad — my grandmother was right here,” he said as he gestured to a nearby spot of grass where his family once raised her teepee. Minthorn said he is happy to return and enjoys the memories that come with raising teepees with his family members, but always feels a twinge of sadness as he remembers those who are no longer with him. Even so, Minthorn said he feels it’s important to keep the knowl- edge and practice of assem- bling a teepee alive. For 69-year-old Fran- cine Delorme, an enrolled member of the Nez Perce tribe from Lapwai, Idaho, the importance of passing on her knowledge and reconnect- ing family is what brings her back to the Round-Up each year. Delorme and her children and grandchildren raised fi ve teepees Sunday morning, carefully taking the time to select their teepee poles and lash the tops. “We used to bring our own teepee poles each year,” she said. “But it’s a lot of work to make them.” Delorme said she and her late husband made 45 teepee poles several years ago and ended up leaving them at the Round-Up with the intent of making more.
