2 October 5, 2000 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo Our children Greetings! Bonjour! Ola! We could use a greeting in one or more of another language. Here in Warm Springs though, our priority is OUR three languages, Wasco, Paiute or Sahaptin. We have heard from ciders, that many years ago our great grandpar ents either spoke or understood all three of our languages. One story that I remember being told is of an elder lady, K'allis, speaking with my great grandfather Mark Johnson at the com missary where many families gath ered to receive food. They shared laughter and conversation in each of their languages and feelings of ani mosity was not an issue. People of that era seemed to have gotten along well, despite the history of how we were all brought together, and how we seem to be today. It is these sto ries that lead the Language Program to believe that our children in Warm FAS. Workshop Fetal Alcohol Syndrome For parents, grandparents, and everyone interested. Open your awareness of how children with FAS develop.

Lecture set for October 8 As part of Oregon Archaeology Month activities, The Museum at Warm Springs hosts a public lecture on an extensive project, which docu ments petroglyphs and pictographs. The presentation by James W. Henderson provides a rare glimpse into symbols and images seldom seen so clearly. Pictograph and petroglyphs paintings come alive through combined polarized light photography and cutting edge digital enhancement. The Henderson Cross Polarized Enhancement Procedure reveals multiple layers of pigment on porous surfaces providing unparal leled detail of ancient pigments. The process and Mr. Henderson's two years of documentation reveal much of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Spring pictorial legacy on their ceded Salmon Corps January 2001 The Earth Conservation Corps' (ECC) award-winning Salmon Corps will begin the 2001 program year in January. The program year will con clude in mid-November 2001. Salmon Corps program years had previously begun in October and ended in August. This change is in response to our partners request for services during planting periods in September. Because of this change, Salmon Corps will not be available for service between the months of September- December 2000. "We, as an organization, have an opportunity to evaluate how we've served the community during the past six years," said Charles F. Sams III, Northwest Director. "We will be fo cusing on building a stronger pro gram that continues to meet the needs of the environment and communities we serve." Salmon Corps began in 1994 with a goal of energizing Native American young adults ( 1 8-25 years old) to repair the disappearing salmon habitats of the Columbia River Basin. This approach fulfills ECC's mission of reclaiming two of the country's most threatened re sources: the environment and our dis advantaged young people.
