Plan for $1.5 million traffic safety project
Tribal planning and the
Oregon Department of
Transportation are working
on a plan to address safety
concerns in the Warm Springs
area, from Highway 26 to the
Warm Springs Academy and
the campus.
The highway intersection
at the casino and museum is
one area that traffic planners
will be looking at, as well as
the highway-Hollywood Bou-
levard intersection. A new
traffic count and accident
report at these sites will de-
termine what action might be
taken .
Safety concerns in the
school area, and the campus
are included in the analysis,
said tribal planner Lonny
Macy.
The state has allocated $1.5
million for improvement
work in the Warm Springs
Highway 26 safety corridor.
A walking path from the
campus to the museum is a
proposal that planning has
been looking at for some
time, Macy said.

Mistatim
The Performing Arts Cen-
ter in November will host the
Red Sky theater performance
of Mistatim.
Red Sky is Canada’s lead-
ing company of contempo-
rary world Indigenous perfor-
mance in dance, theater and
music.
Their performance of
Mistatim at the MHS Per-
forming Arts Center will be
on November 17. This is a
free event. Mistatim is a
great play for young people
and families, said Shannon
Ahern, Performing Arts Cen-
ter
The Red Sky description
of the production is as fol-
lows:
Under the wide-open skies
of the prairies, Mistatim is a
coming of age story about
the truest of friendships.
While a simple wooden
fence is all that separates
Calvin on his ranch and
Speck on her reservation,
in many ways they are
worlds apart.
On his father’s ranch,
Calvin attempts to ‘break’
Mistatim, the only horse no
one else can tame in order
to prove himself to his fa-
ther.
On the other side of
the fence, Speck, who is
also struggling to find her
place in her family, dis-
covers her uncanny abil-
ity to communicate with
horses.
Working together to rein
in the wild horse, Calvin
and Speck cross the divide
of their own cultures to
learn to communicate with
each other, Mistatim, and
their families.
