We would like to thank all
our Native Aspirations sum-
mer youth staff: We appreci-
ate your dedication and will-
ingness to work with our com-
munity youth. Thank you for
being there ever y day, and get-
ting to know the kids.
We wish you luck in your
upcoming school year, and we
current college students. The
remaining 107 were high
school students.
The funding for program
was secured by Caroline Cruz,
tribal health liaison, in the sum
of $250,000, which came
from the tribes and IHS Joint
Health Commission.
In order for work sites to
get summer youth workers,
they had to undergo a man-
datory employer’s orientation,
conducted by Human Re-
sources director Elizabeth
Sato.
To hire summer youth,
each department had to pro-
vide one adult mentor/pri-
mary supervisor for every
three youth workers. I was in
charge of managing the pro-
gram. The primary supervi-
sors and mentors provided
the program with direct su-
pervision.
First- and second-year
youth started the program by
completing a series of work
readiness classes.

This drew attention

joined Anna Mae in a dem-
onstration of opposition.

Councilman Carlos Smith
said there are reports that the
Confederated Tribes did not
oppose the transfer of water
between Cascade Locks and
the ODFW, while the Coun-
cil Chairman’s letter shows
otherwise. How this happened
should be clarified and cor-
rected, he said.

paredness certification, or got
First Aid or CPR training.
