Cultural grants available with Washanaksha
The Confederated Tribes
of
War m
Springs
Washanaksha board is now
accepting grant applications.
The board will accept appli-
cations through Thursday,
Dec. 1.
The Washanaksha board
administers funds from the
Oregon Cultural Trust and
other sources. The Museum
at Warm Springs is the fiscal
sponsor.
Washanaksha is an
Ichishkiin word. It means
that when something is im-
portant, you take it in—
heart, spirit and mind—and
are committed to carrying it
forward no matter what.
Tribal culture, family, his-
tory, dance, art, ceremonies,
music and traditional prac-
tices are the foundation of
the tribal identity. The tribes’
Cultural Trust Committee
chose this name because it
communicates the highest
purpose of their effort.
For more information
please contact Tamera
Moody, secretary of the
Washanaksha board and
Education coordinator at
the museum, 541-553-3331.
The Washanaksha board
supports projects and activi-
ties outlined in its Cultural
Plan:
Promote tribal members
and residents’ understanding
of and involvement in cul-
tural activities, traditions,
arts, language, dance, history,
music, etc.
Pass on tribal knowledge
and practices to our youth,
and help them feel connected
to their culture.
Preserve, practice and
teach our tribal languages,
Ichishkiin, Kiksht and
Numu.
Support the work of our
artists and traditional teach-
ers, including their ability to
earn a living from their work.
The maximum grant
award is $1,200. The
Washanaksha board wants to
make as many awards as pos-
sible.
Applications will be ac-
cepted from the Confeder-
ated Tribes members ,resi-
dents of the reservation,
tribal programs and commit-
tees, and Warm Springs or-
ganizations. Grants to tribal
members will be considered
first.

board grant agreement before
