Attention Potential Volunteers for Longhouse Construction:

 

We’ve got the Longhouse frame up and tied together with bark lashing. We are ready to start putting the sheathing on the exterior and to start the many interior jobs. 

 

Anyone who can volunteer anytime 6:30 am to 5:00 pm from Monday 5/14/12 to Friday 5/18/12, we have the following work:

 

1. Strip bark from poplar saplings (4′ sections) that we will use for bunk sheathing. Need sharp knife.
2. Round cut edge of 4′ poplar sapling to be used for bunk sheathing. Need rough grit belt sander or power planer.
3. Tie poplar bark lashings onto low sapling joints (no ladders). Need staple gun and staples. 
4. Shovel excavation spoils onto the trench backfill area. Shovel and wheelbarrow brown stone into the pipe backfill area. Shovel and wheelbarrow clay into the trench backfill area. Need shovel and rake, wheelbarrow good too. 
5. Help build utility pole bridge over creek. Supervise/Help Vo-Tech boys to shovel footings, place utility poles, install decking lumber. Need shovel, level, drill, etc. 

 

Then we hope to have  a big bunk sheathing day on Saturday 5/19/12 from 7 am till 4 pm. We will be having a large group of volunteers tie the 4′ poplar saplings to the bunk beams to create the sheathing. Need sharp knife. If we don’t get all the saplings prepared prior, we will also need rough grit belt sander or power planer and power cut-off saw.

 

 

So that’s the plan for now. Hope you can come and help this amazing project. 

 

You don’t need to, but it sure would help if you let us (Becky) know when you are planning to come.

Native American Pioneer Woman to be Honored

Madame Marie Dorion also known as “Walks Far Woman” is being recognized for her contribution to American history in Washington State where she settled.

Dorion, or Walks Far Woman, arrived in the Willamette Valley in 1841, farming land by the Salem-Keizer border and in the Gervais area.

In 1850, the mother of five was buried beneath the altar of the St. Louis Church in the Gervais area rather than the cemetery: an honor worthy of saints and noblemen
