Visit from the World Affairs Tour
Museum hosting
Living Traditions
By Duran B obb
Spilyay Tymoo
Twenty visitors from vari
ous countries across Europe
visited the reservation re
cently, as part of the World
Affairs Tour.
The tour was part o f a
program that atwai tribal at
torney
Jim
‘B oom er’
Noteboom helped establish
several years ago.
Mr. Noteboom served on
the World Affairs Council,
Wilson Wewa explained dur
ing the reservation tour last
week.
“He worked closely with
citizens o f Africa and Rus
sia,” Wewa said, “helping with
negotiations with indigenous
people. This was one of his
projects.”
P rio r to Jim ’s passing,
Wewa was selected to con
tinue the tradition o f the
tribal portion of the tour.
“It is quite interesting,”
visitor Jean-Rene Bilongo
said of the reservation. “We
see how diverse the United
States is. We started in Wash
ington, D.C. We went to New
York City. And now we are
here in Warm Springs. It is
interesting to see the Native
Americans, to think about
what happened in their past.
And it is interesting to see the
museum. I like it a lot.”
Zubeda Limbada, who is
from the United Kingdom,

said the main purpose of the
tour is to focus attention on
diversity.
“Primarily, to see and ob
serve w hat Native culture
involves,” she said.
“It is fascinating, not just
seeing the Indian culture but
the raw history.”
Limbada explained that
she is a minority in the U.K.,
as she is of South Asian heri
tage.
“This trip is about being
at one with who you are and
trying to fit in,” she said, “and
to understand what your dif
ferences are and your iden
tity.”
