they do there, and some of them
plan to return to ECE for the
2005 work year.
Among these male employ
ees was Joe Thompson, who has
returned to Haskell Indian Na
tions University to continue his
college education. There, he is
pursuing an education in busi
ness administration, possibly
business management. He in
tends to get his 4-year degree at
Haskell and pursue his masters
somewhere else.
His family has pride in his
scholastic abilities, as he re
turned to Warm Springs from
his first year with a 4.0 GPA.
At the ECE, Thompson was
working in the administrative
area where he did filing, wrote
memos, labels, and basic work
vegetable gardening, plus plant,
weed and insect identification
and control.
The experiential learning
volunteer hours consists of
hands-on experience. Working in
one of the Extension offices at
the plant clinic desk, you will
assist clients when they call in
or walk in with gardening ques
tions (40 hours total).
The other 20 hours of expe
riential learning is completed
through a variety of community
outreach activities of your
choice.
These can include helping
with display gardens, community
garden, educational seminars
and county fair booths.
Applications will be available
soon at the Warm Springs OSU
Extension Office.

Indian museum seeks balance
of historical and contemporary
WASHINGTON (AP) -The
newest Smithsonian mu
seum is gathering ancient ce
ramics, intricate beadwork and
modern art to illustrate the past
and present of Native peoples
spread across the Western
Hemisphere for some 20,000
years.
"It's a set of cultures with a
deep past, but at the same time
communities that are thoroughly
contemporary - they're here
right now too," said museum
director W. Richard West Jr.
"There are 30 to 40 million
Native people living in the West
ern Hemisphere."
When the National Museum
of the American Indian opens
Sept. 21, it will seek to give the
appropriate weight to injustices
suffered at the hands of white
settlers - but will not make that
the focus of a history that
sweeps over millennia.
"The truth is what it is," said
West, who is of Southern Chey
enne extraction. "The history
between Native Americans and
Euro-Americans has been quite
tragic. We do not propose to
skirt that tragedy."
But, he said, the museum will
show "so much good and so
much positive along with the
tragedy."
"This is exactly what the first
Americans need to demonstrate

- that we have a rich history and
culture, and it's still alive and
well," said Kathy Wesley
Kitcheyan, chairwoman of San
Carlos Apache in Arizona, after
a recent tour.
The five-story museum took
the last remaining spot on the
grassy National Mall between
the Capitol and the Washington
Monument - a four-acre site at
the foot of Capitol Hill.
It is the first new museum on
the Mall since the National
Museum of African Art and the
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, for
Asian art, opened together in
1987.
Indian museum curator
Gerald McMaster expects 5
million visitors a year.
Exhibits will include ancient
artifacts, such as a 2,000-year-old
ceramic jaguar clutching a
man between its paws, as well
as works from modern Indian
artists George Morrison and
Allan Houser.
Other exhibits will focus on
the lives of Indians today,
touching on the highs and lows.
For many Indians, wealth gen
erated by casinos has increased
living standards. But Indians still
suffer from higher poverty rates
than the national average, and
from higher rates of diseases
such as diabetes, respiratory in
fections and alcoholism.

The Indian museum will be
surrounded by 700 trees and a
wetlands area with plants such
as yellow pond-lily and wild rice.
The "three sisters" of Ameri
can Indian agriculture - corn,
beans and squash - will also be
planted.
The exterior, made from
Kasota limestone quarried from
Minnesota, is rounded to reflect
the curves of the earth, sun and
moon. The inside of the mu
seum also emphasizes curved
features, with a skylight topping
off a series of narrowing con
centric circles that make up the
building's ceiling. Crystal prisms
facing south will reflect sunlight
through the museum, and a
"Welcome Wall" will greet visi
tors with 200 native words, all
meaning welcome.
This is not the first national
Indian museum, but it will be
the biggest and most prominent.
The museum will open its
doors with 8,000 objects filling
five major exhibitions.
That represents only 1 per
cent of the Smithsonian's
800,000 objects, which are in
storage at the museum's Cultural
Resources Center in Suitland,
Md. Those items range from a
45-foot, 19th century totem pole
from an island off the coast of
Alaska, to 11,000-year-old
Clovis spear points.
