Restoration events will kick off at 10 a.m. Friday with a healing ceremony for Tribal members and their families at the new Atudship rock mound, which is designed to be a sacred memorial for healing. The sacred site is located on the Lash property immediately north of the Tribal Cemetery off Grand Ronde Road. The Atudship rock mound is a monument honoring the plight and Restoration of the more than 27 Tribes and Bands that make up the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. "The Atudship serves as a place for your healing as our ancestors before us sought healing," says Tribal Land & Culture Depart ment Manager Jan Looking Wolf Reibach. "It is a practice that has been in place since time immemo rial. Individuals assign their own meaning for their healing." Atudship is a Tualatin-Kalapuya term meaning to heap up earth and rocks, usually associated with the practice of obtaining spirit power.
