The Warm Springs Out-
door Market will kick-off
this year on Friday, June 22,
Pi-Ume-Sha weekend.
We will have a free bar-
becue, local produce and
plants, value-added foods,
handmade arts and crafts,
and plenty of warmth and
laughter.
The June 22 market will
take place in front of the Re-
Use It store from 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. We will start grilling
around 10:30 a.m.
Burgers will be served
on a first-come first-serve
basis, while supplies last.
The Warm Springs Com-
munity Action Team has
hosted the Outdoor Market
since 2013.
This year, the team has
the help of Tananawit, the
newly for ming War m
Springs artisans organiza-
tion.
Tananawit is working to-
wards facilitating economic
opportunity for War m
Springs Indian Reservation
artists, providing educational
opportunities for aspiring

Native artists, and increas-
ing public knowledge and
understanding of the tribal
arts and crafts of the Co-
lumbia River Plateau. The
board of directors is taking
on a big role in the Outdoor
Market this year by facili-
tating a Saturday Market as
well.
By dedicating their time
to being present every other
Saturday, the board of di-
rectors sees this as an op-
portunity to show their com-
mitment to the growth of
Tananawit, as well as their
support of artisans and
small business owners within
the community.
The market will be held
every other week from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m., beginning on
June 22. On Fridays the
market will be in front of
Re-Use It; and on Satur-
days, beginning June 23, the
market will be at the cor-
ner of Highway 26, by
Kalama’s frybread.
If you or someone you
know is looking for a con-
sistent location, or means to

cally grown produce/agri-
culture, or handmade arts
and crafts, contact the Com-
munity Action Team at 541-

Summer youth jobs starting soon
On Graduation Day
Jayson Smith/Spilyay
Madras High School Class of 2018 Graduation Day. Graduates on pages 6 and 7.
The last day of school for
most students is this Thurs-
day, June 7, and the Warm
Springs summer youth work
will begin the following week.
There are some changes
this year to the summer
youth work programs. For
the past three years many
youth workers found em-
ployment through Native
Aspirations, a program of
the Health and Human Ser-
vices Branch.
This year many youth—
78 high school positions, and
five college student posi-
tions—will be under the tribal
Education Department, and
through
the
WIOA
(Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act) program.
The contact people for
this program are Melinda or
Theylia, 541-553-3328.
Their office is in room 307
at the Education building.
There was much interest
among youth to join the pro-
gram this summer, with
about 130 applications for
78 high school positions.
Fortunately, there are other
youth employment opportu-
nities this summer:
Warm Springs Preven-
tion, under Health and Hu-
man Services, will have some
youth workers. Natural Re-
sources and Kah-Nee-Ta will
have their own programs.
And the Heart of Oregon
Youth Conservation Corps
employs a number of young
people during the summer
months. Youth Conservation
Corps can be reached at 541-
633-7834.
