Tribe, college get big NEA grant
The Squaxin Island Tribe and The
Evergreen State College Longhouse
Education and Cultural Center will re-
ceive an Our Town grant from the Na-
tional Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
The tribe and the college will receive a
grant of $100,000 in support of Native
art in conjunction with the 2012 an-
nual canoe journey on the Salish Sea
(Puget Sound).
The NEA grant will help provide for
documentation, installation and exhi-
bition for the project, Our Tribe: The
People of the Water, a partnership of
the Longhouse and the Squaxin Island
Museum.
Project participant artists will cre-
ate works to further establish a sense
of Squaxin Island tribal identity, peo-
ple and place.
Established artists will teach their
art forms to an intergenerational
group of emerging artists and will cre-
ate art to establish identity of people
and place during the Tribal Journey
canoe event.
At the project conclusion in summer
2012, the Squaxin Tribe will maintain
the art pieces throughout for exhibi-
tion. The Museum and Longhouse will
continue to host residencies with pri-
vate and tribal funding.
Our Town is the NEA's latest in-
vestment in "creative placemaking,"
through which partners from both
public and private sectors come to-
gethei to strategically shape the so-
cial, physical, and economic character
of a neighborhood, town, city or region
around arts and cultural activities.
The NEA grant will support half
of the total project cost of $200,000.
Longhouse and Squaxin Island Muse-
tun staff support and facility use pro-
vide the other half.
Expected project outcomes include
increasing the number of practicing
Squaxin artists, expanding indigenous
artist networks and increasing art ap-
preciation, cultural tourism and eco-
nomic development.
National Endowment for the Arts
Chairman Rocco Landesman said,
"Communities across our country are

promote their distinctive identities. In

"The Squaxin Island Tribe will
host the 2012 Canoe Journeys, one
of the largest tribal gatherings in the
Pacific Northwest. Over a hundred ce-
dar canoes will be coming into the ma-
rine waters within a mile of the state
capitol, the celebration of traditional
nttive songs will be heard and add
a unique cultural value to the city of
Olympia," said Charlene Krise, execu-
tive director of Squaxin Tribe Museum
Library Research Center.
"In tribal artwork are identifiable
connections to the natural resources
of the land, water and to the animal
nations. It is wonderful NEA recog-
nizes the cultural value of collabora-
tive partnerships between Squaxin
Island Tribe, City of Olympia and The
Evergreen State College in our sincere
attempt to enhance the quality of life
by showcasing tribal art," Krise added.
The Longhouse Education and Cul-
tural Center opened on the Olympia
campus of The Evergreen State Col-
lege in 1995. The Center's primary
public service work is to promote in-
digenous arts and culture. In the be-
ginning, the center focused on six local
Puget Sound tribes and their artists;
today staff work with indigenous art-
ists throughout the Pacific Northwest
region, nationally, and with other Pa-
cific Rim indigenous peoples to pro-
mote indigenous arts and cultures
through a wide variety of programs.
The Squaxin Island Museum Li-
brary and Research Center (MLRC)
tells the story of the People of the Wa-
ter through a series of exhibits and
displays depicting the relationship be-
tween Squaxin Island Tribal members
and the seven inlets of South Puget
Sound. Visitors experience the rich
culture of the Squaxin Island Tribe
by participating in cultural activities
and special events. The hopes and
dreams of Squaxin elders and those
who have walked before us have come
true through this magnificent facil-
ity. Squaxin Island culture, past and
present, is preserved for people of all
generations. With a small, yet highly
professional staff, the MLRC presents
exhibits, lectures, films, tours, tradi-
tional skills workshops and education-
al outreach programs for students in
local schools.
The National Endowment for the
Arts was established by Congress in
1965 as an independent agency of the
federal government. To date, the NEA
has awarded more than $4 billion to
support artistic excellence, creativity,
and innovation for the benefit of in-
dividuals and communities. The NEA
extends its work through partnerships
with state arts agencies, local leaders,
other federal agencies and the philan-
thropic sector.

Journal hires sports reporter
By KEVAN MOORE
Sports reporter Emily Hanson joined the
Shelton-Mason County Journal staff full-
time on July 1.
Hanson grew up in Lacey and graduated
from Timberline High School in 2004 before
enrolling at Washington State University
where she earned a bachelor's degree in
communications (with an emphais in print
journalism) in 2008.
Shortly after her college graduation,
Hanson went to work at the Okanogan Val-
ley Gazette-Tribune as the paper's Tonasket
general assignment reporter. While there,
she covered a murder trial, city govern-
ment, high-school sports and more.
Hanson has only been in Shelton for a
couple of weeks, but is looking forward to
the busy fall high-school sports season. She
said football is her favorite sport but "wres-
tling and tennis may be wedging their way
into a three-way tie."
Hanson said that she is excited about
being able to focus entirely on sports as a
Journal reporter.
"It's the fun part and the reason I wanted
to keep working in journalism," she said. "I
didn't know a lot about sports before I start-
Emily Hanson
ed my last job, but it's the heart of small
town journalism in my opinion. Everyone
goes to the games and everyone knows the
kids."
When she's not working, Hanson said she
likes to read, watch movies and spend time
with her sister, Jamie, and other friends. In
addition to Jamie, Hanson has eight other
siblings.
"That definitely makes it easier to han-
dle conflict and is probably what taught me
to listen to all sides of an argument before
coming to any conclusions," Hanson said.
Hanson can be reached by calling the
Journal office at 426-4412 or via e-mail at
emily@masoncounty.com.
