(Continued from page 1)
"I'm pretty certain the trip
helped them with their esteem,
because I see a lot of these His
panic and Native kids excelling
in their lives and doing much bet
ter for themselves," says
Kalama.
He goes on, "Why should we
feel separated? We all go to the
same school, shop in the same
stores, we go to Bend malls, we
go to the same places. Even
when you go into the stores
people are separated. It
shouldn't be like that. It should
be like, 'Hey, how ya doin' to
day?"' With the Culture Enrichment
Club at the high school, the kids
have taken a stand. They want
to bring people of different
races together. They want to set
an example. Paul Scott grew up
with good examples.
"I was always taught by my
dad to give respect to people you
think deserve it," he says. "I was
taught to hold the door open for
women and I had to do it for
my sisters. I thought it was cool.
It came natural after a while."

It certainly didn't hurt that
Scott has a curiosity streak in
him about a mile wide. "I like
to know other people. That
starts a friendship with another
person," he goes on.
"There's always a surprise,
everybody is different, no mat
ter what race, color, whatever.
You should never judge some
body just by the color of their
skin. You should look at them
from the inside out."
Paul Scott has big plans for
this year's Culture Enrichment
Club. Skits, for instance. He
wants to put together some skits
about race and then perform
them around the county at the
middle and elementary schools.
"I think you should start
young and not wait until the high
school years," he says. "I think
these clubs should start in the
fifth grade, so people will get a
feel for it. High school is too
far into the teen years and you
already know who you're kickin'
with, who you're friends are."
If Scott and the Culture En
richment Club start now and
work with young people, then

"When you get out in the
world, you 're not afraid
to be around people of
different races. 'on get to
know other people, more
backgrounds and other
cultures. "
Paul Scott
Club president
no one will need to feel uncom
fortable when they walk down
the halls in any school. And the
future will look something like
Scott's vision for the Culture
Enrichment Club:
"I want the club to be big -something
you can get a letter
for. A lot of people don't take
all the diversity in this school se
riously. People in this school
should be proud to have all this
diversity. When you get out in
the world, you're not afraid to
be around people of different
races. You get to know other
people, more backgrounds and
other cultures. Everybody
should know a little bit about ev
erybody else's culture."
