We lost a great friend with the passing of our long time Board member, Victor Atiyeh. But taking a lesson from him, we hold to the happy and positive things. We’ve had a great time this year anticipating the opening of the new Warm Springs K-8 Academy. The new school is a won- derful addition to War m Springs. It is a beautiful facil- ity, replete with the newest technologies and decorated inside and out to honor the community and its culture. To celebrate the new school, the Museum’s 2014 theme was Celebrating Na- tive American Youth. Young at Art Fair We began the year with our annual Warm Springs Youth Art Exhibit followed by a Young At Art Fair dur- ing spring break. Students attending the fair enjoyed the experience, and were enthusiastic about try- ing both traditional and con- temporary arts techniques. We held a second fair in the summer. And we are plan- ning another one for the 2015 spring break. Natalie and Tamera are working with the Academy on arts and culture related after school and classroom projects. Film festival We took the opportunity to partner with the Bend Film Festival to bring Native American-themed or pro- duced independent films to Warm Springs. We showed the films in the new Eagle Academy gymna- sium. The filsm were Return of t h e R i v e r , a documentary about the removal of the Elwa Dam in Washington state.
