January 25, 2012 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Page 2 Bringing back the art o f the Pendleton vest i f Pendleton has some amazing patterns, even one called the Warm Springs b lank et.” B y Duran Bobb Spilyay Tymoc N o re e Guerin wanted badly to learn to how to make a tradi tional Pendleton vest, but didn’t know where to turn. A t the same time represen tatives from Pendleton Woolen Mills in Portiand wanted badly to establish a relationship with the tribes, but didn’t know who to contact. W ith one call, everything just fell into place. Noree was invited to the fac tory for a one-on-on session w here she learned to make a simple one-piece vest. “I did it m yself during the Rose Festival, and it was easier than I thought,” Guerin said. “I th o u g h t to m y self th a t this would be a wonderful project to bring back to the people on the reservation. The entire pattern is one piece, and you only have to sew it on the shoulder.” Pendleton Woolen Mills rep resentatives Julie Fischer and Stacy Brisbee were excited for the chance to begin working with the tribes. “Julie told me Pendleton has been wanting to do some classes on the reservation, and I didn’t know what to say. I ’m just here to make a vest, I thought.” Inspired by her own creation, N o re e a p p lie d fo r a W ashanaksha C ultural T ru st B irths Duran Bobb/Spilyay Grant. “I didn’t get it,” she says, “but I knew that I couldn’t stop there, because this is a skill that our people could really use. Teach ing the tribal members, that’s the whole point. Having a relation ship with Pendleton would be a good thing for our people.” N oree continued her discus sions with Pendleton W oolen Mills, and was able to arrange for representatives to teach a class earlier this m onth at the Museum at Warm Springs. “They brought with them the Pendleton rhaterial, the ribbing, the patterns, everything that you would need to make your very own vest. And the thing about this particular pattern is that even someone who is just be ginning to sew will be able to walk away with a vest. There’s no way to sew it wrong.” M ore classes are b ein g planned for the near-future. Tyler Teeiahkin J o h n and S unm iet M aben o f M adras are pleased to announce the birth o f their son Tyler Teeiahkin, born on Janu ary 12, 2012. G randparents on the father’s side are Charles and D arlene M aben o f Madras. G randparents on the m other’s side are Ralph and Jew ell M innick o f Warm Springs. “T his is the first class, so people can understand a litde bit m ore about w hat we’re doing here,” Guerin said. “Pendleton has some amaz ing patterns, even one called the W arm Springs Blanket. They have the petroglyphs that you’d find along the Columbia, they have Lillian P itt’s w ork, and there’s even a veterans style.” The cost, o f the class is $70. Students who take the class get a discount on Pendleton mate rials. T h ere ’s- also a discount available for senior citizens. ‘W e have one student here today who is sewing for the first time,” G uerin was saying dur ing the recent class. “She’ll take a vest home to day. We also have an experi enced seam stress rig h t over here. Today she’s purchasing her own materials and pattern. She’ll take those hom e and assemble her vest there.” j Future classes could include Pendleton toys or drum cases if interest grows.
