October Cherokees

Mt. Hood Cherokees went on another field trip to see Tsagaglalal.

Meandering Musings

Things are good – in spite of it all – and I want to acknowledge that.

Seal Rock Mandala

It was certainly the most unique memorial service I have ever attended.

Bend’s Desert Museum

The High Desert Museum in Bend is a large, high quality museum in a small, central Oregon town.

Cherokees in Oregon

Every August, hundreds of Cherokees gather in Oregon and reconnect with our Tribal government.

Paint me Happy

Six miles from Mitchell, OR are the Painted Hills: one of my favourite things about this state.

Cherokee Baskets

Cherokee National Treasure Barbara Adair taught our group how to make baskets.

Heard Museum in Phoenix

I was in Phoenix anyway, so I made time to stop at the Heard Museum to see my friend’s art installation.

Whitman Mission National Historic Site

Park managers today are doing a good job of telling a more accurate story.

Cayuse Sisters

These basalt columns are either Cayuse Sisters frozen in stone, or million-year-old lava carved by an unfathomably huge flood from Montana – either story is incredible.
