August 7, 1997 SMOKE SIGNALS 11 Youth needed to Student Advisory Council seeking members attend camps The Education Division and Student Advisory Council will be sponsoring youth to attend summer camps. ft We will sponsor two youth to attend Konaway Nika VJj Tillicum from August 22-30 in Ashland, Oregon. We will provide the tuition cost for this conference, but parents will need to provide transportation to and from Ashland. This is a program for Native American students in grades 5-8. Students will interact with other Native students throughout Oregon while being challenged by creative, imaginative instructors and their activities. Students will be spending time with tribal Elders and tribal leaders dur ing classes, lectures, and outdoor presentations. This camp is a wonderful experience to share education, culture, and fun with Native youth. Due to the cost of this camp, we are only able to send two youth. We would like everyone who is interested to be able to attend at least once. So if you have attended in the past and would like to be considered this year, please call. If no other students apply, you will be considered. However, preference will be given to stu dents who have not attended in the past.
