Page 2 August 14-, 2 0 0 8 Spilyay Tyrnoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Strengthening Family Camp at Peters Pasture Families also learned about each o f the three tribal lan guages during sessions with staff from the Language Program— d u rin g 30-minute sessions fami lies learned things like basic greetings and how to introduce themselves in all o f the tribal languages. Beading, basket making, ani m al pelts, drum m aking and various o th er traditional arts served as the focus for other family sessions. The Diabetes Team offered an educational session as well as the Shadow Project. T he families w ere encour aged throughout the camp to take time to visit with elders who also attended and learn m ore about traditions and their lives. Y outh w orkers from OSU Extension had the opportunity to assume a leadership position and host several ice breaker ac tiv itie s a t th e b e g in n in g o f camp. For example, on the first day o f cam p those in attendance listed things about themselves like their favorite color, sport, food and hobby. Each camp participant then used the list to introduce them selves to their fellow campers. T h e cam p also fe a tu re d plenty o f free time for families to work on projects or do arts and crafts and spend time to gether. Plus, there were also tee-p'ee pole races that could be called at any time. The family camp ends today, A ugust 14, after several fun- filled days at Peters Pasture. B y L eslie M itts Spilyay Tymoo This year at the annual tribal culture camp at Peters Pasture, the focus is on more than just culture. Fam ilies w orked to com e closer together, as well as learn about their culture, as they spent time in the outdoors. This year marked a few sig nificant changes at the camp. While in the past the camp had been only for local youth, this year the Culture and Heri tage D epartm ent and OSU Ex tension worked together to cre ate a camp for all members o f a family. As Shawn Morford, director o f OSU E xtension, told the families at the camp, “It’s about bringing families together.” The two organizations com bined resources to create sev eral days o f cultural activities and classes for the families that traveled to the camp. A t the beginning o f camp five teepees w ere filled w ith families. A bout 30 people attended along with ten staff m embers from OSU Extension and Cul ture and Heritage. During the first day o f camp, families worked together to cre ate a family shield th at they posted in front o f their tent or teepee. The families gathered mate rials and used art supplies for their family shields, which rep resented who they are and as pects o f their family. Justine Thomas photos At the beginning of camp, families worked together to create a family shield to post outside of their teepee or tent. This year the focus of the culture camp was strengthening the bond between family members.
