The Spokane Tribe
Day 7
After a long day of driving thru
Spokane and terrible traffic, we landed in the Spokane Reservation just north
of Spokane. There is pine trees spread thinly around our camp site but enough
to provide shade on our tents. As a break from all our hard work and traveling,
Mr. Warren of the Spokane Tribe and Department of Natural Resources and is head
of Program Coordination took us to a local lake where everyone on the trip went
swimming! I was glad to get my feet wet and spend some time just swimming and
having fun. The lake was cold and warm in a spots creating a relaxing
environment. Also the lake was deep with an unreachable bottom. We probably
spent a little over an hour just swimming and comparing cannon balls. Alden of
Heritage University showed off his Hawaiian diving skills in the lake. It was a
fun a day and hopefully we’ll head back to the lake and enjoy ourselves again before
leaving the reservation.
We are also introduce to Wellpint
High School which is well updated high school providing Native members
resources to a good education and a fabulous weight where we are currently
working on our blogs. I’m truly sorry if I’m not up to date with you current
readers but we are some areas that don’t provide internet or the local Starbuck’s
has some really slow WiFi. So to catch you up, we’re having a wonderful time
with every group and individual we meet from Oregon’s Forest Service to Mr.
Paul Lumney. Everyone has been great and provided a new point of view that I
was never introduced. I never knew the various jobs needed for the Forest
Service and Paul provided an insight on Native American culture threaten by modern civilization. I hope I’m providing a
enough information of my travels. I know there is a lot more I’m not blogging
about but do leave some comments on any questions you have and I’ll get back to
you.
Till
the next episode…
