We’ve completed another R2R, in which the Siletz tribe honors our ancestors by running / walking from Siletz, Oregon to Oaks Flats on the Illinois River. This relay, in which different members of the tribe (and friends!) carry an eagle staff mile by mile for over 50 hours down the coast, commemorates the forced removal [...]

In Feb, 2010 I spent a week in San Francisco working on a video shoot. I managed to escape for a late afternoon, and wound up walking over the Golden Gate bridge. Got to catch sunset from the bridge! Here’s some pictures – click on them to see the full image -

Culture Camp 2010 – Clams!

I dropped in at the Siletz 2010 Culture Camp. (hard to pass up fry bread – especially my sisters…).  Anyway, as I wandered through the different tables where people were learning some of the ancient arts of basketry, flint-knapping and other such skills, I came across a table of youth shucking clams .
