Fry Bread making demonstration with Joie Simtustus: Joie is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and is graciously

Salmon Is Everything: The students of the First Nations Student Union will present a live, read-aloud version
of the play, Salmon Is Everything. This play is based on the Klamath people and the loss of salmon in the Klamath
River. Please click here to access the zoom link for this event. Salmon Is Everything
Thursday, May 27, All Day
Smoke Signals: This film debuted in 1998 and is recognized as the first feature-length film written,
directed, produced, and starring Native Americans. While this film is full of laugh-out-loud
comedy, it also does an excellent job addressing underlying issues still faced on
reservations today. Please email Michelle Cary mcary@cocc.edu with "Smoke Signals" in the subject line. You will be emailed a pass code to use
on the day of the event. You will then need to log back in here on May 27, click on
the watch link, which will be added here, and then enter the pass code that was sent
to you. You may stream the film at any time on May 27.
