Day 5 presentation, volunteer work and glass work



Today we went to the Umatilla governant center to have a presentation about “first foods” and the importance of why we still need them. That food is more then just what it is, that food plays a part in the society of a culture.

Then after we were done with the presentation, we went to this plant nursery to volunteer and help out. They gave us a tour of their facility, then they assigned each one of us a job. One of the jobs we did was a group effort trimming small trees ( saplings ) and moving them. The first job I was assigned to was transplanting tiny little plants ( spouts ), which was a little difficult.

My group finished early so we were assigned to sifting, which is taking soil out of cones. The team I was with enjoyed being competitive, so we got a lot of work done. There was this time when this one person in our group ( Christina ) would always get to competitive, and would “ shower “ us in soil and dirt.

After we left the nursery, we came back to Wenix's house, where her Loveda Elk showed us some glass art. It was a fun day of laughter, work, creativity, and dirty.
