" We Were Together Again As It Used To Be in the Olden Days."

Elders and children gather to dance, sing and learn the Paiute language. |
"The elders that came to teach the language and tell stories of past history were excited to be with the children. A volunteer played the Native American Flute and another played the drum and sang songs for the children to dance to. The visit to the Stone Mother was a highlight of our camp as we danced and enjoyed the feeling of the importance of this sacred area of our beautiful reservation. We plan to do this again as many of our children have never been out to see the Stone Mother."
Thanks to the donors who make the Community Foundation's Partnership Grant Program possible, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe members were able to hold two sessions of Summer Culture, Language and Learning program that served 50 children for morning sessions and noon lunch.
Focused on culture and language and providing the children with cultural learning experiences, the camp had much volunteer help. "This participation from the community makes us want to provide experiences like this for our children throughout the year. It reinforced the old way of our culture encouraging us to work together and provide for our children what they need for their education."
