In addition, their program
utilizes the master-apprentice
model as well. “The elders
are the heart,” Q uaem pts
said, and said focus should be
put on listening to elders and
learning from them.
The G rand Ronde lan
guage program also utilizes
the master-apprentice model,
and all students leave the pre
school level with a knowledge
o f the language.
They also hope to eventu
ally educate all o f their stu
dents in their community in
order to retain fluency in their
native language.

novative system expected to be
operating by the end o f 2009.
Currently, juvenile salmon
and steelhead can’t find their way
downstream because o f turns in
the current o f the upper reser
voir.
The solution to this problem
will be a 273-foot high under
water tower that will take in
m o st o f the su rface w ater,
drawing the fish to a collection
system that will send them be

Bud Lane from the Siletz lan
guage program said their pro
gram is relatively new— they
were developed in 2003.
Before developing classes,
they had to develop a method
o f teaching the Athabaskan lan
guage. Because it utilizes sev
eral different dialects, those with
the Siletz language program first
had to standardize the alphabet.
Now they are teaching classes
and working to revitalize the lan
guage in the Siletz community,
Lane said.
They also connect their lan
guage with cultural activities, and
spoke o f trips with students to
gather mussels as well as classes
regarding basket and regalia
making.
The local high school features
that arrive at the passage facil
ity will safely transit into the
lower Deschutes.
Species to be reintroduced
above the dams include summer
steelhead (a federally listed
threatened species), and spring
Chinook salmon. Resident ko-
kanee should naturally convert
to sockeye salmon as they head
downstream.
The new system will reopen
226 miles o f streams above the
dams to fish migration while al
lowing continued production o f
low-cost, renewable hydroelec
tric power. Pelton Round Butte
generates enough electricity to
supply a city about the size o f
the Salem, population 143,000.
