Day 14

Today we woke up at 6:30 because we needed to make breakfast and lunch, so we could meet our tour guide Lucy Luevano. Lucy is the Traditional Cultural Preservation Officer for the Colville Confederated Tribes. She told us about the Caribou Trail. We met with a lady named Amanda and she an interpreter at the Fort Okanogan lookout. We looked at many artifacts at the Fort Okanogan lookout. We took pictures outside as we looked at were the Fort was originally placed by the River.  Lucy then took us to the CCT museum by Grand Coulee Dam. We met with Franklin Andrews because he works at the front desk. Franklin talked about the pictures and artifacts that were in the museum. He talked about his education pathways and he told us that he got an internship with the Tribe at the museum. He also told us about the Natives lived back in the old days. We went back to the Government building because that was part of our tour of the day. We met with several people that work there as Archaeologists and Tribal Archaeologist.  The other three Archaeologists names are as follows: Arrow Coyote, Kevin Donald, and Amelia Stanger. Arrow works as the person that went and pieced together the artifacts history. Amelia works as the traditional lands firefighter if the lands are threatened by fire. Devin works as the tribal archaeologist because he fell in love with Native American Artifacts. I learned that Washington State gave the Colville Confederated Tribes their Native homeland back.
