Roots trailer project helps homeless vets
Students with the Roots
program has worked with
Warm Springs Utilities to
renovate a trailer.
The trailer was once used
as an office providing legal
services for members. The
structure had been unused for
quite sometime, and was
scheduled for demolition.
The Roots plan was to re-
purpose the trailer into a two
bedroom home for homeless
veterans.
After removing the skirt-
ing and disconnecting it from
utilities, the trailer was moved
over to the Roots building.
Many items used in the
project were recycled from
homes near the school that
were scheduled to be demol-
ished.
Doors, windows, moldings,
plumbing fixtures, hardware
items, and even 2-by-4 studs
were collected from these
homes and reused.
Rotten floors, old doors
and windows were reframed
and replaced.
Damaged siding was re-
placed and the exterior of the
trailer was cleaned, painted,
and trimmed out with exte-
rior trims and accents.
Interior partitions were
redesigned, framed, sheet
rocked and painted. Doors,
moldings, cabinets, and floor-
ing finished out the project.
The project resulted in a
wholly renovated building
that can house homeless vet-
erans of the community.

The tribes will host the Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days
in June—this year marking the 50-year milestone
of the powwow. The first Pi-Ume-Sha was in
1969, during the height of the Vietnam War.
Honoring veterans was one of the reasons why
the first Pi-Ume-Sha Committee organized the
powwow; and this remains a central theme of the
weekend.
The main theme is the Treaty of 1855, signed
on Monday, June 25 of that year. This year the
anniversary date of the signing will be the Tues-
day before Pi-Ume-Sha weekend.
Then on Wednesday before the powwow is the
Pi-Ume-Sha Health Fair, hosted by Community
Health. The theme this year is Just Move It! Health
providers will be offering a variety of services,
screenings and gifts.
Another healthy event at 2019 Pi-Ume-Sha will
be the Super Man—Wonder Woman Challenge,
with cash prizes for the top finishers in each divi-
sion. This is an outdoor 3.3-mile rugged terrain
foot race and 9.3-mile bike ride on pavement. You
can pre-register by calling Azar Spino at 541-460-
3511; or Raydine Spino at 541-325-1495. The
challenge honors Eugene ‘Cougar’ and Norene
Greene. All are welcome to participate.
The Fiftieth Annual Pi-Ume-Sha will feature
the individual and team dance competitions, Ol’
Style and other specials, Men’s round Bustle and
Women’s Shell Dress. The Traditional Parade is
Saturday morning, June 29.
The Warm Springs Outdoor Market will be
open during Pi-Ume-Sha, hosted by the Warm
Springs Community Action Team and the
Tananawit artisans group.
The Endurance Horse Race is Saturday morn-
ing starting at the Shaker Church. Warm Springs
Recreation and Juvenile Crime Prevention are
hosting the Pi-Ume-Sha Fun Run on Saturday.
There will boxing, men and women’s softball, and
golf.
The Pi-Ume-Sha Rodeo began at the same time
as Treaty Days; so this year the rodeo is also cel-
ebrating its Fifty Year Anniversary. The rodeo
committee invites families of past and still living
cowboys and cowgirls of Warm Springs.
Anyone interested in sponsoring an event, in
your family member’s name, is welcome.
Please call me for more information, 541-460-
