Northwest Native
Traditions

We have had the opportunity to meet
and learn from numerous native elders who are living these
traditions

Hoh tribal elder, Vi Riebes,
presented examples of baskets in her collection to a group
of visiting Jason Project teachers at Forks High School on
Jan. 30. '99

Vi holds canned tuna as she
explains how her family still gathers and preserves the
traditional foods of her people. Her daughter Marie can be
seen in the right of the photo holding one of the drums they
have made.
