Sweat Lodge Every Wednesday at 6pm
Invitation to come to the Wed. night sweat at 6pm each and every week. The tribal sweat lodge has supporte d 30 or more people at one time. If you'd like to help out contact Raymond McCloud at the PTHA or meet at the sweat lodge around 3pm when we light up the fire. Natives of all walks of life find their way to the inipi, to take care of themselves and support others in prayer. Recently, the lodge has been blessed with the company of some youngsters ages 9-13yrs. They have conducted themselves in a good way, with encouraging words for all to listen too. When construction begins on the new casino, our inipi will need to be relocated to a safe location, anyone with a suggestion, please let us know. Also, the lodge is always looking for firewood, anyone knowing of someone willing to donate wood or get at great price, contact Raymond at the PTHA, or myself (Rob 253-224-4888). The mens' lodge is located next to the Elder's Housing and the womens' is next to Kawachee Center.

SAM PRESENTS FIRST EVER MAJOR EXHIBITION

OF PACIFIC COAST SALISH ART

S’abadeb (The Gifts): Pacific Coast Salish Art and Artists

Oct. 24, 2008 – Jan. 11, 2009

Seattle Art Museum, Downtown, Fourth Floor

The Seattle Art Museum presents S’abadeb (The Gifts): Pacific

Coast Salish Art, the first major exhibition ever to explore the unique artistry and culture of Coast Salish First Peoples of Washington State and British Columbia. Organized by SAM, the exhibition features more than 175 works of art from national and international collections that offer a glimpse into the daily and ceremonial lives of the 40 groups that make up the Coast Salish. It will be on view at SAM, October 24, 2008 through January 11, 2009.

Within this visually stunning exhibition, prehistoric, historic and contemporary works are shown side-by-side to emphasize the cultural exchanges beginning in the late 18th century as well as the ongoing vitality of Salish art traditions today. Dynamic multimedia presentations will be featured in the galleries, bringing the art to life and taking visitors into the territories and lives of Salish peoples

Drawn from private collections and 19 museums, the exhibition reveals the beauty and power of Coast Salish art and explores the concepts of property, status, trade, ancestors and family within the Salish communities. Many of the works have never been on view and are, for the first time, interpreted by Native voices. Exhibition-related programming includes artist presentations, school tours and a film festival. Curated by Barbara Brotherton, Curator of Native American Art at SAM, the exhibition was created in collaboration with Salish First Nations consultants, museum staff, and a wide variety of humanities experts, who have honed the themes, content, and the presentation of the art works through an extensive consultation process with SAM over the last two years. In-depth collaboration with Native advisors and with contemporary Salish artists brings

unique perspectives on the meanings of the art works and how those meanings have survived or been transformed over time.
