Well, Inchelium district has a very good native studies program and that made it easy to fit in; we tanned one deer hide in this class so they got to keep it for the use on other projects. This project went on to Lake Roosevelt High School, Keller Mid- dle School and Skilskin alternative school. I noticed that you have to embarrass some of the tribal kids to get them involved but in all I think a lot of the kids will come to learn more in a different environment. Some of the schools went on to learn to make drums. Would you believe we made twenty-seven of them in a week with the help of other students in other classes? These kids involved took a drum home with them after we had finished. Some of the other projects we worked on was building salmon hook molds to prepare the kids for our adventures at Chief Joe Dam this summer that starts in late June or early July so you need to get your paperwork in. A lot of time is spent on gath- ering food for these ceremonies on the reservation; I took four kids in Omak kids ice fishing the program that already hunt and worked with them on their skills as a hunter as well to prepare the food for the cooks. During this time I show them the other things we can do with the hide, horns and bones as well as making sinew.
