Native American Arts Celebration offers a rare opportunity to watch some of the Northwest¹s best-known Native artists at work. Two different artists will demonstrate their skills from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 13 and 14 at The Burke Museum. Israel Shotridge, left, (Tlingit) will demonstrate carving on Sunday, while Michelle Volz (Salish) weaves baskets. On Saturday, Evelyn Vanderhoop, right, (Haida) will weave an elaborate Chilkat blanket robe, and David Boxley (Tsimshian) will carve. Each day at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Coast Salish storyteller Johnny Moses will tell Native American myths.

A handshake between Heritage College President Kathleen Ross and UW President Richard L. McCormick in ceremonies Monday marked the official beginning of UW@Heritage. The new facility will house a partnership program between Heritage and the UW to create greater access to higher education for Yakima Valley students. It includes a 20-station computer classroom and videoconferencing area connected to the UW's campus network in Seattle.
