A flurry of colors spun around the stage of the Pendleton High School auditorium. Bells of the jingle dresses shook to make a torrent of clicks and clatters. Girls and teenagers kicked up their heels and stayed on their toes as they danced around and around.
These were the Daughters of Tradition group of American Indian girls from Washington Elementary, taught by Sally Kosey and Pendleton High School students, including Marissa Baumgartner. The group was part of the PHS Native American Heritage Day celebration at the high school Monday night.
On November 22 over 20 students in the Washington Elementary Daughters of Tradition program donned aprons & rolled up their sleeves for cookie dough making class. This program is co-facilitated by Sally Kosey, Indian Education Coordinator at Washington Elementary & Wenona Scott, Substance Abuse Prevention Assistant at Yellowhawk.
A group of American Indians beat small hide drums and sang from a picnic table in the center of Roy Raley Park on Friday night.... It was the second annual Round-Up Round Dance. Members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation began it in 2009 as an alcohol-free event. It is meant to be an alternative to other Round-Up activities where beer or liquor might be a mainstay. It also is an event to celebrate sobriety for some of those attending.
Congratulations to the Yellowhawk lab on their recent Cola Laboratory Excellence Award”!
This award signifies the labÂ’s commitment to performing quality patient testing and overall laboratory practices.
Way to go Yellowhawk Lab!!
The Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center near Pendleton offers health care
to thousands of Native Americans, some of whom travel more than 150
miles for treatment.
At the clinic, tribal members get a range of care, from sports
physicals and checkups to counseling, dental work and lab tests. But
Yellowhawk didn’t offer vision care until about four years ago, when
the clinic got a special camera. The camera loads detailed images of
patients’ eyes onto a website where ophthalmologists in Portland read
them.
Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center has joined the growing number of health care agencies nationwide using computer software to store and manage patient health information. Known as the electronic health record (EHR) and electronic dental record (EDR).This software has the ability to organize a complete range of patient health information. Health care providers can make better decisions about patient care when they have the right information to guide them. This improves patient safety and the quality of patient care.
