The Lifeways classes focus on the traditional culture and history of the many Tribes and
bands that are the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Participants can learn a variety
of skills, including carving, basketry, native art design, Chinuk Wawa language, traditional
gathering, native plants identification and take visits to important cultural sites throughout
western Oregon. The classes are for beginners as well as for those with advanced skills.
You can explore a variety of activities, or focus on something specific, such as basketry.
You can also help create gifts, such as beaded necklaces, for Tribal special events. There
are activities for all ages and they are designed to provide Tribal member families opportu
nities to come together. In 2013, the Lifeways activities will be held in Portland, Eugene
and Grand Ronde.
In Portland, there is also a hand-drum group, "Place of Our Ancestors," that drums and
sings at Tribal events and activities. The group is looking for additional Tribal members
who are interested in participating. Practices are usually held in conjunction with the
Lifeways classes.
