Japanese students from To
kyo arrived in Warm Springs
to spend a couple days and
learn about tribal cultures.
There were approximately 40
students of the middle school
age that traveled here to expe
rience cultures other than their
own.
Local residents were on
hand to teach the students how
to make a dream catcher by
making their own hoop and
putting it together. During their
dream catcher learning some
of the students gathered to
sing songs from their home
land, so as to exchange one
culture for another.
While at the Agency
Longhouse they ate lunch and
then moved on to their day's
activities.
To experience a private set
ting they were invited to
Lucinda Green's home. Her
home is located along the
Deschutes River. While there
they learned about tribal cul
ture in a longhouse-type setting
at her home.
From that learning experi
ence they moved to Kah-Nee-
