"The spiritual heritage of Na

not been extinguished. I believe the
spiritual fire still burns and is beck
oning for America, indeed, the world
to come closer, to listen, to learn, and
to shear in its warmth and
comfort. . . .It is time that the buckskin
curtain be drawn back. It is time. I
know it.... Teach the children. If we
educate them, our children tomorrow
will be wiser than we are today. They
are the Grandfathers and Grandmoth

13 & 14, 2000. John Davis, Tribal
Liaison with the Zigzag Ranger Dis
trict was very pleased to hear from
several tribal members. He was im
pressed with the openness and will
ingness to share, especially from the
ceremonial pickers.
We need to take these questions
to the community to help decide
which priority areas and road access
places we would like to see devel
oped and improved for huckleberry
enhancement in the Mt. I lood areas.
It's also a goal to have an Indian Only
picking area at Mt. Hood. The Mt.
Hood Forest Service people have
been meeting with the Culture &
Heritage committee. They are pres
ently able and willing to work with
the tribe to develop huckleberry pick
ing areas.
Watch for public notices for
this community meeting.
