School district 509-J students
were honored last Friday at Mt.
Hood Adventure Park at Ski
Bowl. The agenda was jam-
packed with history, culture, and
adrenaline pumping activities.
A fter unloading from the
school buses, and following a
welcome and introductions, stu
dents heard from Warm Springs
Chief Delvis Heath about the
Confederated Tribes’ historical
use o f Tom, D ick & Harry,
which is now the Ski Bowl Re
sort.
Elders also shared their sto
ries about visiting the area when
they were children. They hiked
up the m ountain and set up
camp close to the huckleberry
patches. Today, we ride the chair
lift, fill our baskets, and drive
back home, all before the sun
goes down.
Breakout groups were pro
vided for the three different lan
guages: N um u, K iksht, and
Ichishkiin.
The Culture and Heritage
D epartm ent also p resen ted
“Leave No Trace,” a traditional
concept about respecting our
beliefs and relationship with the
