Why does the hemlock always
border the base of our mountain
ranges while the Douglas fir
towers from their peaks? Why
does the weeping willow weep
and the spruce grow eternally
uneven?
Because, according to Indian
legend, the vine maple, that
known trickster, convinced his
brother trees the sky was falling
in, the end result being their
present status, an interesting
approach to science and an even
more fascinating introduction to
northwestern Indian culture.
Or so the kindergarten and
: :.... ~.:
primary grades at Hood Canal
School have found this year's
Indian unit, a two-week study of
native American culture
coordinated by Brace Miller,
graduate of the Institute of
American Indian Arts, Sante Fe,
New Mexico.
Miller's additional credits
include attendance at the College
of Arts and Crafts at Oakland and
the University of California at
Berkeley and membership in the
American Indian Theatre in New
York.
His program at Hood Canal,
which began March 11 and ended
March .20, sought to acquaint
students with the culture of the
northwestern native American
people. This heading spanned an
area which covered the Indian's
natural surroundings, legends,
games, songs, dances, crafts and
work.
Miller offered the children a
variety of experiences in order to
better assimilate their knowledge.
They studied baskets made from
trees; tools carved out of stones,
bone and wood; and participated
in the native Indian dances, songs
and gambling games. They relived
the Indian legends through
filmstrips followed lay lively
discussions and were allowed to
question older members of the
Skokomish Indian tribe about
times lived in a more traditional
setting.
Miller's agenda included a
tour of SITE (Skokomish Indian
Tribal Enterprises) which manages
a processing plant for salmon in
conjunction with the Lummi and
Squaxin Indian tribes. Here the
children were drawn into the
nuclei of the Northwestern Indian
culture and became aware of the
importance of fishing as a major
source in the Indians' l!velihood, a
part of the present as well as the
past.
The two-week program was

appropriately climaxed by a
potlatch March 20. Potlatch,
meaning to give away, was
originally a day set aside to show
the Indians' wealth and prestige.
Hood Canal students extended
this tradition to include a display
of their own gained knowledge as
well.
The Potlatch began in the
morning with Joe Andrews'
grandchildren, all pupils at Hood
Canal, performing an Indian
dance. This was followed by the
telling of legends and more Indian
dances by t_he children.
The Indian-prepared feast
culminated the day's events with
salmon donated by SITE and
baked by Miller, steamed clams
and baked oysters prepared by
Jim Tobin, elk and venison stew
and fried bread prepared by
Wilma Petty.
The students closed the
ceremonies with a farewell dance.
