More Stuff

Tom Bailor, project coordinator with the environmental science and technology program of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR), and Lloyd Barkley, staff member of the CTUIR Department of Cultural Resources, are again providing the instruction at Tamástslikt on the ancient tools and crafts. They harvest the tule reeds used in making the ducks and provide the flint-knapping and atlatl materials.

That's it for now but I'm sure I will have alot more to add.

To Do:

I have a whole list of styuff to do this week for the project:

* Catch up on WEB CT posting
* Call Umatilla and see if I can get an interview set up for Friday
* Call CREHST and set up interviews for web
* Email list of what needs to be done to my group
* Figure out music stuff
* Catch up on reading

We went out this weekend and shot alot of footage. We need to start editing as soon as possible so that we aren't swamped when it is almost due. I think the editing will be interesting and stressfull. I tried playing around with movie maker on my computer but it is so slow that it wouldn't cooperate.

We still have some shooting to do but not much at all.

Our Film

This weekend, my job is to get the articles from the library having to do with our topic. We chose to make the documentary on the CREHST Museum and the proposed Hanford Reach National Monument Museum and Interpretive Center (I never get all of that right)

There is controversy surrounding the proposed museum being placed on Columbia Point by Native Americans and we discovered last weekend, by the employees at the current museum. We were candidly told that they were told to either compete with the new museum or join. I'm hoping in our interviews we can get these same comments but we are wondering if it was more off-the-cuff comments that would hold more reservation in being said in a recorded interview. We spent quite a few hours at the museum last weekend to decide on a topic and I'm glad we found one that all of us have taken an interest in.

If anyone is thinking of using newspaper articles to research their documentary topic, all you have to do is call the Tri-City Herald and tell the librarian there what you are researching. She will then print out a list or articles with their title, date, and location in the paper that you can view at the MidColumbia Library.
