People of the Big River, first day!
“People of the
Big River” continues to surprise me!
Heritage University has as amazing potential for teaching new students
about environmental issues in the Indigenous Nations. This year is highlighted by an adventure into
Yakama Nation’s closed area. Students
very respectfully absorb the teachings of Yakama tribal members who have lived
and worked in this environmental sector for years. Doug Olney has graciously assisted our staff
in guiding our potential future leaders a pathway into a new era of education
toward sustainability.
It’s crazy. All the preparations that I had made for this
trip seemed to wither away, as the day to leave came like a March wind! I’m glad that our tribal leaders allowed this
portion of the trip to take place. The
kids from White Swan are eager to travel and see new things.
Yay, I'm glad Dr. Black enlisted my help with this years' class. Looing forward to many memories to share!
