r 1 Spilygy Tymoo, Wgrrn Springs, Oregon Youth build friendship on reservation B y Duran Bobb Spi/yay Tymoo Sometimes, groups of people don’t get along because they don’t know each very well. The island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea, for instance, is divided between Greek and Turkish residents. And at times the two cultures don’t get along. The Cyprus Friendship'Foun dation was created to remedy the situation. The group v isited W arm Springs earlier this month.

Then, they come to the United States for a one-month stay with an American host family.” While they’re in the U.S., the They came to Warm Springs to better understand the cultural diversity that exists in the nation... teens share a room for the sum mer and become friends for life. “They’ll go on service-learn ing opportunities, building their skills in environmental aware ness. So when they go home, they’ll work together. Our hope is that when they invite their friends and fam ily together, they’ll work as a group planting trees or doing some environ mental restoration work, and that benefits everybody.” The Cyprus Friendship Pro gram decided to bring the group to Warm Springs to better un derstand the cultural diversity that exists in the nation. “They have never seen any thing like the tribes here,” Calder said. “So we’re honored for the chance to experience this, and we are grateful that Aurolyn Stwyer-Pinkham was able to ar range for us to see the traditional dancers.” While in Warm Springs, the group also learned to bead neck laces at the Museum at Warm Springs.
