    We went to the Camas wellness center where we met Ray, he told us that they said they first built it in 2006. it has 100+ kids for daycare, it is a urgent care facility ,and dental. its the only medical center in the county. there is only 30 people who have their AA, bachelors, and masters who works there. We got to go to the Kalispell tribal fish Hatchery, where I learned about all the different types of fish. They had Rainbow trout, Cut throat and, Bull trout, there was a bunch of little tiny fish called the cut throat trout and i put my had in the water, and surprisingly they didn't get scared, they calmly swam over or under my hand.
 Later, we went back the wellness center, and we played a little bit of volleyball, and basketball, after we went to go change into our swimsuits and then MaCayla and I went into the steam room, and sat in there for about twenty minuets, then we went to swim. we played ball tag with Xavier, Kyle, MaCayla, Rudy, and Omar. at first it was only MaCayla and I, but we asked it Xavier, and Kyle wanted to play, we played ball tag for about two hours, it was really fun, Xavier, and Kyle started using me as a human shield, because they said i was the easiest to catch... when we got done swimming we went to eat Indian tacos, it was really good, i haven't d them in a long time.

July 8,2018             I woke up at 7:00 a.m., to go for a morning hike up Potato Hill, and going up took about thirty minuets, with all the breaks we took. Once I made it to the top, the group, I was with waited for the rest of the people to get to there. when they got to the top we took a group picture with Mt. Adams in the background.   We got into a little circle and Jacob Billy, he’s one of our leaders, he helps with cooking, and he’ll teach us about the Native culture and tell us stories. He sang us a song that represents the sun and the light. My favorite part about the hike was going down, because usually I don’t walk down, I slide down the trail, but this time I walked down with a student from Heritage, her name is Maria Lechuga, and I liked it because I like to meet new people and get to know her since we have to spend two weeks together. She told me that it was her first time ever going camping, and she fell down a lot, but we got to talk about the different type

july 15,2018     it’s the second day at Wellpinit, so far we met two guys. Warren and Francis. Francis brought a drum, and taught us how to drum, and he told us that he only sings songs from his tribe, because one time his friend took a song from another tribe and one guy got mad at for it, so he doesn't want to start any trouble, he said if he only sings songs from his tribe no one can get mad at him for it.     when Warren got here he told Taylor and I to go and drum with the group. I was scared at first, because i had no idea how to drum, and he just said that i need to have rhythm, eventually all the campers had to drum. after drumming and singing songs in the Wellpinit tribe. when we were done with that we went to a look out and met a guy who stays there and watches for fires, i forgot his name, but i was really scared to go up there, because i'm scared of heights. it was also really scary going down, because i had to look down and it looked really high for me and the step

july 10,2018 Today we went to the Klickitat falls fishing site. We learned about how they tag the fish and put little trackers in them, so they can see where they go, and where they’ve been. We met Shawn Bechtol he works at the Klickitat falls fishing site, and he is a fisheries biologist. He showed us how all machines work, and how they catch the fish, he also showed us how he checks to see if the fish is wild or not. He showed us how they put the fish asleep by shocking them and while they are asleep, he takes them and checks how long they are, he gets some scales from both side of the fish so they can take them to the lab and do research to see how old the fish is, after that he scans the fish to see if they have a tag in its belly if it doesn’t then he will put one in so they can track where ever it goes.             We met John Washines he also works the Klickitat falls, he is a fisheries tech, he took us to where the scaffolds are and he was explaining the traditional
