Youth gathering at HeHe
The Healing the Wounded
Spirits of Youth gathering will
be Sunday through Friday, June
17-22 at HeHe.
Last year, 84 youth and 36
adults attended the gathering,
said counselor Charlotte
Herkshan, who is organizing the
event.
This year, she is expecting
between 100 and 150 partici­
pants. Those attend camp at
HeHe during the week,
Speakers this year are Tom
Ball, of the Klamath Tribes,
who is a professor at the Uni­
versity of Oregon; and his wife,
professor Alison Ball, of the
Colville tribe.
They give their perspective
on identifying wounded spirits,
and how outside problems such
as alcohol and drugs have en-
tered and damaged the Commu­
nity.
v Another speaker will be
Clayton Small, Northern Chey­
enne, who has developed as cur­
riculum called Native Hope.
“I?ve known him for years, and
I completely trust in his teach­
ing the youth of our commu­
nity,” said Herkshan.
A part of the Healing the
Wounded Spirits of Youth gath­
ering is raise awareness of
suicide prevention strategies. But
the overall approach is toward
identifying and developing lead­
ership among the youth of the
community.
The youth who attend are
made aware of the importance
of respect for the land, for el-
ders and other people.
Youth and adults who partici-
tQ
pate are charged no fee. They
bring their own teepee or tent,
bedding and clothes. All the
food is provided.
There are no items such
DVDs, CDs or Ipods allowed.
Last year, a youth was complain­
ing this rule seemed harsh, said
Herkshan. By the end of the
week, though, the same youth
was saying he wished he could
stay longer.
There are adults who con­
duct the campfire talks, and
college students who act as
mentors. Youth and adults from
many tribes are expected to at­
tend, said Herkshan.
