Living Traditions program continues Live presentations of various traditions and crafts of the Confederated of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation are presented every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day at The Museum at Warm Springs. The Living Traditions program features a different presenter each weekend at The Museum. "The idea is to have tribal people here at The Museum to show their traditions or crafts and to talk to the public," said Jeanne Thomas, MuseumEducation Tour Coordinator. The program began shortly after The Museum first opened in 1993 with a celebration of the Treaty with the Confederated Tribes and Bands of Middle Oregon of 1 885 during Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days. The Centennial royalty, including queen Kathleen Heath, were invited to The Museum, along with other past Miss Warm Springs queens. The queens were dressed in their regalia and performed a reading of the treaty that was broadcast over KWSO radio. During that same weekend, Bernyce Courtney demonstrated how to make Sally Bags at The Museum. Living Traditions presentations have continued since then with a full schedule slated every summer. The full schedule of presenters follows and for more information contact Jeanne Thomas at The Museum 541-553-3331.
