Warm Springs Segment (A Summary)
Living a sustainable lifestyle, or more so getting back to a sustainable lifestyle is what we would like to achieve with this segment. We traveled to the Warm Springs reservation to examine further how local Native Americans were sustaining in the present and how they had sustained in the past. This had revealed a cohesive bond, in which it seemed that the people were trying to keep some of their traditions in their modern lifestyle.
The local business owners had much to share about how they had come to the place they are now. It had seemed as if they all had a connection to some sort of traditional craft, which was the focal point, or some how incorporated into their business.
Sustainable Today reports on sustainability in Native American culture.
Come out for this weekend's work party at the new property at Siskiyou Square. Saturday, April 6, 10am to 4pm, come for all or any part of the day, lunch provided. Bring work clothes, boots, gloves and tools if you have them, and prepare to get muddy and have fun. Park at Glenhaven Park west of 82nd Avenue, then go east on Siskiyou across 82nd to the gate at 85th to find us.
We are also in the process of planning and organizing a Village Building Convergence project for May 24-June 2 this year. For a number of reasons, our focus has shifted to working on the Orchard and Pathway projects on the South slope of our Siskiyou property. We are meeting this Saturday around noon during the Work Party. Please come and discuss our new focus.

Future work parties will be held April 6 and 20, May 25 and June 1.
