Steve Eulberg of the Bay Area prepares to pick the resonator dulcimer for
the crowd at the Dulcimer Extravaganza last Friday at the Joseph Methodist
Church. The Extravaganza closed out Dulcimer Week in Wallowa County.
“Try it, you’ll like it” opportuni-
ties will still be offered on Saturday
mornings at 10 a.m. at the north end
of the lake, but the workout will still
be quite vigorous.
A “recreational” group is still
planned, but for now the team is fo-
cused on building a solid competition
group. Those interested in the recre-
ation group are encouraged to ill out
an interest form online at www.drag-
onsinthewallowas.com.
At last count, membership was at
28, with others expected to join soon.
The goal is two teams of 20 per
boat. Each Hong Kong-style race
boat holds 18 paddlers, a caller and a
tiller. As of July 1 the team had one
full boat of competition-bound pad-
dlers with several alternates ready.
The Dragons in the Wallowas intend
to ield a mixed team (both men and
women on the team) in their irst
competition.

spent the month of June as
artist-in-residence at the Jose-
phy Center teaching classes in
basket-weaving and working
on her own art. Her artwork
includes sewing, weaving (in-
cluding basket, yarn and corn-
husk weaving), beading and
even carving.
Finding herself falling into
a teaching role without really
trying, Whitewolf puts her ex-
perience as the oldest of nine
children to work.
“I had to inluence their
mindset in order to do a par-
ticular task,” she said. “To do
that, you have to tell, show
and help them to do it and
change their mindset in a way
that’s helpful to them. I ind
when I’m teaching now that
my students teach me as much
as I teach them.”

cestry to multiple tribes in-

through one of Chief Joseph’s
wives.
Although Whitewolf is
enrolled in the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Res-
ervation, she doesn’t reside
there.
“I haven’t lived on the
reservation since I was 14
years old. I’m what’s called
an urban Indian. There’s more
Indians living off the reser-
vation than on. There’s more
Indians living in Portland than
all the Oregon Indian reserva-
tions combined.”
Although she no longer
lives on tribal lands, she’s
faithfully attended each sum-
mer Tamkaliks for the past 22
years.
Whitewolf studied at Lew-

chief “caller” who beats a drum to
keep time and shouts instructions to
the crew is Amy Gulzow of Joseph.
Tillers include Denny Kolb of Enter-
prise, Max Linn of Joseph and Karen
Sternadel of Enterprise.
Dragons members must be age 15
or older — most of the current team
members are ages 40 to 66.
Jeff Campbell of Vancouver Drag-
on Boat Club loaned the two boats
currently in use to the team for the
summer in return for some repair
work. Most of that work is now done
and both boats are now available for
practices as the competition team
grows. Club members will be work-
ing on purchasing their own boats
during the coming winter and are con-
sidering grant proposals, sponsors and
fundraisers.
One fundraiser for the club already
is underway. Stainless steel dragon
necklaces available in a variety of me-
tallic colors are for sale for $15 each
with 50 percent of proceeds going to
the club. Purchase them at the Sum-
mit Grill on top of Mount Howard for
now. They will become more widely
available in a few more weeks.

is and Clark Law School and
passed the bar in 1988. She
opened her own law ofice
and took nearly any case that
came through the door. Her
hectic life came to a screech-
ing halt after she was diag-
nosed with breast cancer in
1998.
Whitewolf’s own cancer
diagnosis served as a conduit
for her art.
“When you irst hear the
diagnosis, one of the irst
things you ask is, ‘When am
I going to die?’” I was given
a 30 percent chance of living
because of the severity of my
cancer. It changes your out-
look when you think you have
a year or two to live.”
She made a full recovery
while forming the national
nonproit The Native People’s
Circle of Hope, which edu-
cates Native Americans across
the country about cancer sur-
vivorship for both victims
and their families through the
treatment regimen and some-
times even the passing of the
victim. She retired from the
organization three years ago.
Whitewolf doesn’t con-
sider herself an artist in the
traditional sense, so she was
thrilled to land the recent res-
idency.
“This whole concept of
being artist-in-residence is
really new because I’ve never
done this kind of thing before.
I really didn’t think of myself
as an artist. I’ve never sold
anything. I can’t igure out
how people do it. One, I don’t
know price, and two, whenev-
er I make anything, I make it
to give away to somebody. It’s
not art; it’s a gift.”
Of all her craft pursuits,
Whitewolf’s favorite is the
one she irst learned.
“Sewing was my passion
when I was a little girl, and I
make everything I wear. I can
make something from looking
at a magazine or book or what
you’re wearing. I can take a
fabric and by how it feels, I
can tell how it will drape on a
human body.”
Whitewolf credits those
who came before her as the
inspiration for taking up her
art.
“I wouldn’t be doing the
type of art I am without my
heritage,” she said. “That’s
who I am.”

is not a new idea in rodeo.
Special-needs rodeo began
clear back in 1983, when
PRCA cowboys adopted it
as a fun way to give back in
their sport. Special education
teachers, like Scudder, and
persons interested in therapy
horses have been involved in
the process ever since.
Little Buckaroos in Wal-
lowa County will be able to
ride the (teeter totter) bull,
rope the (dummy) steer, untie
a bow from a goat’s tail and
race stick horses. Competi-
tors also are welcome to par-
ticipate in the parade.
Scudder still is accepting
both competitors and men-
tors for this event.
