One of the best places to view
the eclipse was at the Warm
Springs Academy, where a
team of scientists was on
hand from the Northwestern
Earth and Sciences Pipeline,
a NASA-funded project youth
science project. The
scientists and students
launched high-altitude
balloons just before the
eclipse. The science team
brought a mobile planetarium,
robotics equipment for a
youth robotics competition,
and several high-powered
telescopes and cameras for
viewing the night sky and the
eclipse.
Anthony Anderson photos
In Warm Springs last week, Iljitsch van Beijnum, from The
Hague, Netherlands, captured this eclipse photo, showing
the solar Diamond Ring Effect. The effect is caused by
beams of sunlight shining through a deep canyon on the
moon.

Unforgettable
To the Warm Springs Community:
My family and I were fortunate
to be on the reservation for the
recent solar eclipse, which was an
amazing experience. But it wasn’t
just the sky show that touched
me—it was the ground I was on
and the people around me.
To see the old familiar landscape
darkened by the moon’s shadow,
to hear people cheering down at
the Academy (which was only a
dream when I lived on the rez), to
feel the warm embrace of our
hosts and the community… it’s
something I’ll never forget.
My adopted home was the per-
fect place to watch this beautiful
celestial event!
In 1979, I shared another
eclipse with Warm Springs—a
low-key, local affair, nothing like
this year’s Internet-driven phenom-
enon. But 38 years later, the tribes
were clearly ready for the hordes!
A lot of people worked incred-
ibly hard to pull off the eclipse
weekend, and every flagger, shop-
keeper or craftsperson we talked
to was gracious and welcoming.
Most meaningful for me,
though, were the spontaneous per-
sonal connections made during my
two days in Warm Springs. I felt
like I was beginning to complete a
circle as I introduced my grown
son to folks who were such a big
part of my life before he was born.
You all remain very important
to me, and I plan to come back
for more visits and hugs when the
sun and the moon and the wild-
fires aren’t keeping everyone so
busy!

Huckleberry trip
A group of tribal members
made the Mt. Hood Meadows
Huckleberry Trip this Wednesday.
The bus left the community center
in the morning, and arrived at the
Hood River Lodge. Some took
their own vehicles as well.
Mt. Hood Meadows, in a part-
nership with the Confederated
Tribes, then provided lift rides and
lunch. A thank-you to all of this
year’s participants.
