Building on Tuesday, July 1 6. Youth Ed recently started an art
apprenticeship program and Fasana, Travis Stewart, Tribal Cultural
Education specialist and Adam Mclsaac are working on a sculpture
that will be installed somewhere on the Tribal campus. This is Fasana's
first experience with carving, aside from a small canoe he carved. He
even made tools to carve with as part of the apprenticeship.

Smoke Signals receives
four awards from ONPA
Smoke Signals received four awards from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers
Association on Thursday, July 18, as a participant in the annual Associate
Member Publications Contest.
Smoke Signals received two second-place awards. Graphic Designer George
Valdez was honored in the graphics category and page designer Justin Phillips
was honored in the design category.
Tribal photographer Michelle Alaimo received a third-place award for
photography and the entire staff received a third-place award for target
audience.
Only three out of 27 qualifying newspapers in Oregon received awards in
the Associate Member contest The Portland Tribune, The Capital Press out
of Salem and Smoke Signals, which again was the only Tribal newspaper to
receive awards from ONPA.
"I think if you look at the competition - The Portland Tribune and the agri
cultural newspaper The Capital Press - you'll understand that Smoke Signals
receiving four awards was pretty impressive," said Publications Coordinator
Dean Rhodes. "We went head-to-head with the heavyweights in our category
and turned in a very respectable performance.
'The awards reflect the talent, dedication and professionalism of the entire
staff, as well as their consistent efforts to deliver the Tribal membership an
informative and professional publication twice a month."
During the Native American Journalist Association conference held July
18-21 in Tempe, Ariz., Smoke Signals received five awards, including the
coveted General Excellence award in its circulation category.
