Native American Club
share experience
The Willamina High School Native American Club gave a presen
tation to Mr. White's history class about the special trip they took to
Santa Fe, New Mexico to attend the NCAI conference. Here, Brianna
Leno and Joe Mercier share some of the photos they took near the
Hopi Indian reservation, and shared some traditional Hopi legends.
Jerry Graham, a special education teacher at WHS, encourages
the club to give presentations about tribal culture.
"The Native American students can use
the club to educate their peers about as
pects of their culture," he said. "They are
sharing with others while developing im
portant speaking skills."
