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.

"This is a significant year for Ever- green and the Longhouse," said Tina Kuckkahn, director of the Longhouse Education and Cultural Center at Ev- ergreen. "The Longhouse is celebrat- ing its 15th year and with the upcom- ing 2011-12 academic year, the col- lege is marking its 40th anniversary, celebrating four decades of innovative teaching and learning.  "The Our Town Grant from the NEA is another extraordinary exam- ple of the important national role and creative partnerships The Evergreen State College and its Longhouse have developed over the years," said Kuck- kahn. "We are pleased that this proj- ect gives the Longhouse an opportuni- ty to build on and strengthen the long- term partnership that Evergreen has enjoyed with the Squaxin Island Tribe over the years. We always remember how strongly members of the Squaxin Island Tribe supported the dream of Courtesy photo A National Endowment for the Arts grant will help suport an exhibit of traditional art from the Squaxin Island Tribe. a Longhouse on the campus at Ever- green." "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.

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.
