Tribal Council April Agenda
Monday, April 9
Since 2005, Mt. H ood Mead
ows has coordinated a coopera
tive community outreach pro
gram w ith the C onfederated
Tribes o f Warm Springs.
Kids and parents look for
ward to tribal member ski days
in the winter, and tribal elders
and family members look for
ward to huckleberry picking on
the slopes o f H ood River Mead
ows in August and September.
In February, W arm Springs
tribal members were again guests
o f Mt. H ood Meadows, at the
m ost well-attended Tribal Ski
Day ever. According to Woody
Hoye, Mt. H ood Meadows’ d il
rector o f resort operations, close
to 110 tribal members attended
the event, that included ski and
snowboard rental.
“T ribal m em bers enjoyed
good ski conditions and great
hospitality,” said Greg Leo, the
c o o rd in a to r fo r th e W arm
Springs Tribal K ids’ Days for
Mt. H ood Meadows. “We were
excited to have so many tribal
members attend to experience
our mountain hospitality.”
“For years we would see the
night skiing lights on the m oun
tain, and wonder— although on
our mountain, this was a place
we did not go,” Tribal Council
m an JP P a tt said a b o u t Mt.
H ood Meadows at the beginning
o f the outreach program seven
years ago.
“N ow we ski and board on
the mountain, have tribal m em
ber employment, and are a full
partner in the stewardship o f
Mt. Hood,” Patt said.
In August o f each year, tribal
elders are invited to the H ood
River Meadows, part o f the Mt.
H ood Meadows Ski Resort, for
Next Ski Day
T he n e x t h o ste d

specially designated as traditional
tribal picking lands. Mt. H ood
is considered one o f the impor

The elders fill their baskets
with the purple berries, ride the

The huckleberries need clear

keeping the ski slopes clear o f
trees also leaves it open for the
huckleberry bushes to grow.
