E Coosh EEWA: The way it is Letters to the editor Fond farewell Dear Warm Springs commu- nity, Due to personal circum- stances, I will be leaving the clinic near the end of August to move back to my home in Missouri. This decision was not easy, as I have come to love Central Oregon and particularly the people of Warm Springs. I am honored to have been allowed to care for you over these past five years and will cherish the things you have taught me. Working with my patients and my co-workers has been one of the greatest experi- ences of my life and has in- stilled in me a new respect and love for you all. I will miss you all tremen- dously and I hope that fate might steer me back to care for your strong, resilient, and beautiful community in the future. Fondly, Corinne Smith, Family Nurse Practitioner. (Please note: Patients assgned to Corinne Smith have a temporary provider assigned until her replace- ment is hired. Please contact the clinic scheduling desk, 541-553-2610 with any questions or needs.)

Native artist featured at Bend museum The art exhibit R i c k Bartow: Animal Kinship, by one of Oregon’s most cel- ebrated artists, will open Sep- tember 20 at the High Desert Museum. The artist Rick Bartow was of the Mad River Band of the Wiyot Tribe. Mr. Bartow passed away in 2016. He was born in Newport, where his family’s roots run deep. He grew up with close ties to the Siletz community. Though he traveled the world extensively in his life- time, Bartow always returned to his family’s coastal home, and it was here that he even- tually became one of the Northwest’s best-known and most celebrated artists. Rick Bartow’s diverse ex- periences enabled him to in- corporate traditional Native themes and images into con- temporary works that connect us with both the past and present issues facing Native nations. Bartow, through paintings, prints, or sculptures, is a master of the art of ex- pressing his voice and contrib- uting to the legacy of Native art and culture,” said re- Confluence Filmmaker Fellow Spilyay Tymoo (Coyote News, Est. 1976) Publisher Emeritus in Memorium: Sid Miller Editor: Dave McMechan Spilyay Tymoo is published bi-weekly by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
