Internships Pay Off!
Secondary students in Jessica Kinne’s Internship course took some time to reflect on their learning last week. Students all agreed that every student should take advantage of this class! Juniors and seniors in the class prepared first semester by doing some career exploration and learning job skills like how to write a resume, what to expect in an interview, and how to write professional emails. Second semester they began their internship work in a placement that matched their career interests. This opportunity to “try out” a career during the school day should not be missed.

Lushootseed Creation History Nights
haʔł sləx̌il txʷəl gʷəlapu siʔiʔab syayayəʔ - Good day to you, our honorable relatives,
The Puyallup Tribal Language Program would like to invite you and the Tribal community to attend readings of our Lushootseed Creation History Nights - pə(d)dukʷibəɫ! We have completed 9 weeks so far, and will be doing a full recap on Wednesday March 30th. We will continue an additional 9 weeks and complete our series on May 25th. On March 30th, we highly encourage you to have your camera on and dress up, wear your regalia, cedar hats, big auntie earrings, etc. We want to see all of your faces!
It’s not too late to register or to catch up. We’d like our entire community to be a part of this historic retelling of our origin story. This online series is not open to the general public, but is open to Tribal members, other Tribes, employees of Tribal entities and relatives of Tribal members. This is a perfect opportunity for you as a community member to get involved in a safe space online.
Each week on Wednesday, we have new Lushootseed speaking host read our story several times in Lushootseed and in English. We reach out intertribally and have community members open us up in prayer and song. We are normally set up in Webinar form so we don’t get to see or hear you, outside of the chat feature. So you can just sit back with your family, listen, learn and relax!
