Camp Naimuma grant award for 2018
A summer tradition for
young people of War m
Springs is Camp Naimuma,
hosted by the Culture and
Heritage Department.
The department, and vol-
unteers from throughout
the community, work to-
gether to give the students
an engaging education in the
traditions and languages of
the Confederated Tribes.
This year the camp will
see added support from the
Three Rivers Foundation.
This is the first year that
Camp Naimuma is receiv-
ing such welcome help.
The Three Rivers Foun-
dation, established in 2011,
serves as the charitable giv-
ing arm of the Confeder-
ated Tribes of Coos, Lower
Umpqua and Siuslaw Indi-
ans, and the Three Rivers
Casino and Hotel.
In awarding the grant,
Chief Warren Brainard of
the Confederated Tribes of
Coos, Lower Umpqua and
Siuslaw Indians, also trustee,
gave the following statement:
The Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs Reserva-
tion consists of over
640,000 acres of land in
North Central Oregon, and
is home to the War m
Springs, Wasco and Piaute
tribes. Camp Naimuma is
an opportunity for the
Deanie Smith, Language
Program director, receives
the grant on behalf of
Culture and Heritage.
Warm Springs and neighbor-
ing community area children
to attend a 5-day camp expe-
rience where they will en-
counter nature and develop
a curiosity of the environ-
ment that surrounds them.
The camp also allows for
the children to seek self-iden-
tification, gain self-esteem and
create leadership qualities.
They will have the opportu-
nity to gain knowledge in all
three languages and practice
cultural values and traditions.

Pet clinic may resume in April
The monthly free spay
and neuter clinic for dogs
in Warm Springs may re-
sume in April.
Bend Spay and Neu-
ter wanted to resume the
monthly clinics in March,
but the problem has been
a lack of space.
The team last year
hosted the clinic in the
Greeley Heights commu-
nity building, but this is no
longer available. There
was a chance to use the
for mer
elementary
school building, but this
also appears to be not an
option.
A possibility is the VFW
building, but details are yet
to be worked out.
Last year Bend Spay
and Neuter hosted several
free monthly clinics in
Warm Springs: Over the
course of that time, the
veterinarians and assis-
tants perfor med more
than 270 spay/neuter pro-
cedures, and gave more
than 350 vaccinations.
