Neo Design Studio of Portland conducted extensive research and interviews with tribal members to identify similarities in the dress, art work and storytelling of the Wasco, Paiute and Warm Springs tribes that comprise the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. The research helped determine a design concept that includes a homey feel with natural overtones, rural lifestyles, western feel and plenty of color. "We wanted to redesign Kah-Nee-Ta's village rooms so that guests were made aware of the culture that surrounded them. It was important to maintain the tribe's voice.

Investigation into this crash is under investigation by Warm Springs Police Department and the Oregon State Police. new village guest rooms same time we did not want to use anything in the design that was trite, cliche, or overused," said Lisa Marachal, a principal at Neo Design Studio. A sawtooth pattern, found in many of the traditional basket designs created by members of the Confederated Tribes, is incorporated into some of the furniture and flooring in each room. Denim bedspreads are used to give a homey comfort reminiscent of western folklore. Other symbols of each tribes' heritage have been incorporated into each room. The sofas feature a rawhide-like texture on the surface. Occasional tables are custom designed in the shape of a drum. The cabinet pulls are in the shape of an acorn, a staple in the Native American culture that marks the passage of time. Pull chains on the table and floor lamps have polished stones dangling from them so that another connection to nature is found on touch. Lumber from an old red barn was sealed and then inserted into the furniture in each room. "Finding the barn was truly an adventure," Marechal said. "We took out ads in the local newspapers. I talked with farmers throughout the state. I even spent several weekends driving around rural Oregon looking for a red barn with enough color and usable lumber for the furniture. We finally found one near Turner, Oregon. The red in the barn lumbermatches the rock formations surrounding the resort, the denim is the blue of the water and the amber finish on the Mutual Help homebuyers commended The Warm Springs Housing De- partment would like to commend the following 28 Mutual Help Homebuyers for making their house payments and staying current: Steven & Jeannie Anderson; Brent & Rosa Graybael; Carolyn J.
