Don Day, Tribal Elder and tha Tribe's Sita Protection specialist, was
presented with the 201 1 Martin Luther King Jr. Award by the Associated
Students of Lane Community College in Eugene on Monday, Jan. 1 7. The
award honored Day's work on the college's Native American Longhouse,
his devotion and time given to the youth of Oregon and his work in
archaeology to preserve the culture and traditions of the indigenous
peoples of these lands. Day, pictured here in the longhouse's Hall of
Honor, hand split cedar logs to make the paneling that covers the walls
and oversaw the paneling. He also taught the craft of log splitting to a
host of volunteers who helped with the project.

ROSE FESTIVAL continued

Jarvi9 said the contract was a
great deal, allowing the foundation
a three-year reprieve from having
to find a sponsor.
"Spirit Mountain has been part of
the festival since 1996," Jarvis said.
'They are a great partner."
Tribal Council member Steve
Bobb Sr., who attended the Jan. 19
event at the casino, also cited the
fact that Portland is located within
the Grand Ronde Tribes' ancestral
ceded homelands as a major reason
why the casino committed to spon-
soring the event.
Bobb is currently creating the
design for this year's casino float,
which will incorporate Native Amer
ican elements with the parade's
theme of "Carnival of Roses."
