Photo exhibit now at resort A double-barreled phoio- graphic display will be on view from now through the month of August at Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge. The display features the work of both A1 Monner, who retired after many years as an Oregon Journal photographer and Wilma Roberts, a well- known photographer from The Dalles. Monner spent his early boyhood years on a homestead across the Deschutes River from the Warm Springs Reservation and as a frequent visitor with his family to the homes of many of the Indians. The Monner family later moved to Portland so that young Alfred and his sister, Ida, could attend high school. At that time he became interested in photography, which led to his lifelong career and to the many honors bestowed upon him. Monner’s pictures have appeared in American Photography, Life Reservation culture studied Kay Salto by Lenora Starr Kay Kazue Saito graduated from Kobe College in Japan and in 1966 studied voice at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. She then returned to J a p a n a fte r p e rfo rm in g numerous recitals in San Francisco, to enter the Kansi University of Foreign Studies in Osaka, Japan where she is now an assistant professor with a doctorate degree in Language and Culture. In 1980 Kay again started to give recitals in Osaka and Kobe Japan. She also served as a rep resen tativ e fo r Jap a n singing at the Fino-Ugrian World Congress in Finland. Kay Saito is now here in Warm Springs doing research about the Warm Springs tribes and comparing our culture with the Japanese culture. She believes in keeping the old traditions alive whether it be Japanese traditions or the Native American traditions. “It’s a sad thing to see the old traditions die, that’s why I’m doing research. I would like to contribute my services and help rescue the dying traditions,” said Kay. A book written by Kay has been published, entitled “Folk Songs and Children’s Songs”, and she is now well known throughout Europe and Japan. Kay will be leaving here August 2 to continue her recitals throughout the United States and Canada. Kay wishes to express to the people of the Warm Springs com m unity her concerns about the cross cultures between the Warm Springs tribes and the Japanese people. She hopes that anyone willing to share with her their cultural knowledge of the Warm Springs Confederated Tribes will contact her at the Kah- Nee-Ta Lodge, 553-1112, room 108. She will also be happy to ip s i la g make any house visits. She’ll also be exchanging cultures with the Indian dancers at the Kah-Nee-Ta village Sunday afternoon, so anyone who would like to see her or talk with her can contact her there. Kay hopes very much that the people of the Warm Springs community will open up to her and share their cultural knowledge because, with only a short amount of time and too many houses to visit, she wouldn’t be able to gather a sufficient amount of informa tion to share with her people what she has learned here on the reservation. “Of all the well known tribes, the Cherokee, Comanchee and numerous tribes, I think that your reservation is very intelligent and it so small that is is easier for the younger generation to lose touch of their culture,” states Saito. Kaye used the children not knowing their language as an example. “This is what I mean, most of the children here do not know their language. It is a problem that occurs not only here but everywhere, even in Japan. It is very important to rescue the dying traditions,” said Kay.

Wilma Roberts, who rarely goes out without her camera, is the winner of numerous photographic contests and has had many one-man shows of her own. When she’s not out taking pictures of local scenes, she works in a camera shop in The Dalles. She estimates that she has traveled 250,000 miles taking pictures, including a recent trip to Nepal, halfway around the world. A previous showing of Wilma Robert’s photos at Kah- Nee-Ta included some early pictures of Celilo Falls at The Dalles. The joint exhibition will be on view at Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge through September 2, 1983.
