Her Native Heritage has thousands of years of culture and history which influences her view of the world. "I was fortunate to grow up in the beauty of the Cascade Range and along the Columbia River", says Pat.

EMT stands for Emergency Medi cal Technician! There are three different levels of EMT's depending on the type of class and the number of hours you have been trained, there are also skills that separate each level. EMT Basic is the first level, this class consists of approximately 130 hours of class room training and 8 hours of time spent in the Emergency Room department of the hospital. EMT Basics are trained to do many skills, this is where the foundation is built to hold the responsibility of making decision that might not only affect someone else's life but their own as well. EMT Intermediate is the second level of training you can go through, at this level you will learn a lot about why you learned what you learned at the Basic level.

Pat earned a BA in Mathematics-Physics from Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington. "I taught mathematics at Portland area community colleges, and then spent 11 years as a mathematician-computer specialist," say's Pat. "I now devote my time to creating art, and lecturing on Plateau Tribal Art," says Pat. Pat, is a fiber artist specializing in weaving Sally Bags. These are soft baskets made by using the full-turn twining technique. Sally Bags are known for their unique geometric human figures and motifs. This basket twining method and designs are unique to the Columbia River area. Pat helped revive this art, and she wants to continue to preserve this technique and record the traditional designs. taught to basically bring the Emer- gency room to your home and treat the patient. In order to be an EMT we must have a physician advisor to work under which means there has to be a doctor willing to take responsibility for everything we do as EMTs. Here in Warm Springs, our physician ad visor is Dr. Creelman, who does a very good job making sure we are trained not only to the states stan dards but his own as well. Keep in mind that EMT's are trained more in the line of Emer gency care, which occur from acci dents or sudden illnesses. In most situations medical control (the doc tor on call) is contacted and advised of what type of call we're on and the circumstances, if they have any ad vice or orders for special treatment this is when it is given. This might cure some curiosity about why people don't always get the same medical treatment from the EMTs. It depends on who is on duty and what level they are certified at. In order to do some things the rules require you to have more than one certified EMT. Themajority of our Warm Springs EMTs are certified at the Intermedi ate level, the way people are split up on shifts we try to keep a Paramedic on duty at one of the stations. There are times though when there will not be a Paramedic on duty.

Pat is discovering that locat ing, harvesting, and processing the plant fibers is a very time consuming activity. There are so few older weavers who can remember the meanings of the designs, the weav ing techniques, and the plant fibers traditionally used. Pat travels to museums to research the basket fibers, the designs, and the history. Sally Bags were used for gathering roots, and for sorting dried roots, berries, and salmon. The area along the Columbia River had dry winds that were perfect for drying the filleted salmon. There are 3 interpretations on the name Sally Bag: 1) European immi grants thought the weavers were har vesting willow instead of dogbane. The Latin name for willow is salix, which was corrupted to "sally"; (2) Sally Wahkicus was a well-known The following is the Certified EMT's full time staff: Paramedics Karla Bagley-Tias, Robert Redden, Suzi Macy, Jerry Hochdeffer & Steve DeHart.
