Volunteers being recruited by Culture & Heritage
Dear Community Mtmbrn,
On Monday. March, iheCulturc
and Heritage Department"! Cur
riculum Develop, Art McConville.
received permission 10 recruit volun
teer help from the Warm Springs
community.
The volunteers are needed to
assist in the development of the
I egendx and Historical informa
tion presently on file at the Culture
and Heritage department. For Art
to complete this work by himself,
may require about ten years of
work. With even 10 volunteers, we
could finish what is now available,
in two years, but probably much
sooner.
The kind of volunteer help Art is
looking for most, is tribal members
or their families, that are artists
andcraftmcn. If you are capable of
creating material that can and will
be used by all ages, to help them to
learn Culturaltraditional knowl
edge, we need you.
I he kinds of people that are
dcd. will be responsible for creat
ing coloring books, story books,
calendars, instruction books, cos
tum. etc., that can be given to the
school age young people, or used in
classrooms, or put on display, that
will provide them with a steady
source of Cultural information. We
need many people who can illus
trate legends, draw other related
figures that are associated with
education skills, or even color in
the finished work.
This will give every tribal member
or their family, an opportunity to
be included in the development
process, of some very important
information. Not only will you be
involved, but you will be recon
gied as a contributor in the fin
ished product, and learn about
yourself and your ancestors at the
same time.
Of course, there will be restric
tions as to who will have access to
this information, because everything
belongs to all of the Warm Springs
people, and not just a few. There
fore, the projects that you are
assigned to, will be the only one
that you have access to, until they
are published or whatever. Eve
ryone deserves to receive this infor
mation at the same time. And
before the material can be pub
lished, it must be as authentic as
possible. Which means that every
thing must be thoroughly screened
and re-screencd. to insure that it
represents what the people want it
to represent, and in the manner
they want it to portray the image of
the Confederated Tribes.
7 he reason that the Culture and
Heritage department has decided
to approach the curriculum work
this way, is because the job is much
larger then originally thought. Not
only is there is a mountain of illus
trating to do. with all the legend
sand historical events recorded, but
there is also the language curricu
lum to develop, which will also
require more illustrating, plus the
yidro filming and editing. There is
just too much for one person to do,
unless you want to wait another ten
years to get your complete set of
information.
Just one legend, took me 40
hours to illustrate. We have dozens
of legends waiting to be illustrated.
We have to ask for volunteers
today, because we do not have the
money in our budget to pay for
extra staff to do this work. So I
figured (hat, there must be some
one out there who is interested
enough in getting this information
out into the schools and commun
ity, that they would spend a few of
their hours helping out. I he elders
ol long ago never needed dollars to
teach their young people, so I guess
its possible. We can make it possi
ble, and we can show everyone that
Cultural, traditional knowledge is
very important to us.
It doesn't matter if you already
have a job. or if you don't have one.
We're looking lor people who are
ready to help each other, even if its
only to color a coloring book. We
need you. if you have the slightest
potential to be an artist or crafts
man. I know many people w ho told
me that they couldni draw a straight
line, but one given the opportunity
to create, they were outstanding.
I 'm sure (hat you don't realize what
you can do in (his line of work.
We will gel (he supplies needed
for (he projects somehow, so all we
need is you. If you have a few hours
a day or week, to work on these
projects, please call us at SS3-1 161,
extension 290. Or if you can't catch
me on the phone, come on down to
the Culture and Heritage at the
Warm Springs Community Cen
ter, next to the Head Start program.
You can become a vital part in
the development of educational ma
terial designed for Indian people,
and it could lead you into greater
things.
