Featuring: Cleve Friedman, Narrator Stephanie Baldridge, Native American Flute Shadrack Sandvold, Native American Flute & Percussion Rick Tinling, Guitarist Ian Manheimer and the Shady Boyz Inter-Tribal Drum Group The Bruno Family (Warm Springs) Dancers & Friends Ed Edmo (Shoshone-Bannock), Storyteller Silent Auction & Performance Hosted by Cascadia Flute Circle and The Wilshire UMC & Native American Fellowship Auction items provided by the members of Cascadia Flute Circle & Friends, and the Wilshire UMC & Native American Fellowship Stephanie Baldridge and Cascadia Flute Circle began their journey with the Wilshire United Methodist Church & Native American Fellowship in April of 2005, and it has been a wonderful and enriching relationship ever since. We have gotten to know the members of the Native Fellowship, and brought many talented performers and shows to you. An ongoing cause that has always been near and dear to our hearts has been the Wilshure UMC & Native American Fellowship's Wheelchair Accessibility Fund. As part of our ongoing efforts for wheelchair accessibility, in April of 2008, we did a benefit Concert and Silent Auction, and, together with the Matching Funds Grant, we were able to raise almost $5,000 in a single night toward WUMC & Native American Fellowship's Wheelchair Accessibility. The upstairs bathroom is now complete, the ramp is now all but complete (only awaiting railings), and we are overjoyed to finally see our collective dream coming to fruition. On behalf of the Wilshure UMC & Native American Fellowship, and Cascadia Flute Circle, we wish to thank all of the very talented performers who participated in this Concert. We also wish to thank you all for attending, and for your generous donations to this very worthy cause. Our goal with this Concert was to educate people about the meaning of music, dance, and storytelling in Native Culture. Please enjoy a sampling of the photos from this wonderful show!

Present From being firmly grounded in the past, we are able to connect with reality in the present, and that which is good. The people are drawn together to hear the stories, which connect the generations, unite the families and make us peaceful and happy. This helps us to keep our traditions alive, remember our history, teaches us how to walk the red road in beauty, and prepares us for the challenges that lie ahead. Hear the ancient lore, as we listen to the words of the storytellers of old, through own own Ed Edmo(Shoshone-Bannock). |

Through being grounded in the past, and united in the present, we have gained hope and strength to move beyond, into the future. The next generation will use the wisdom we have gained and shared through music, stories and dance, to continue the hopes and dreams of our Elders. |

1 It was the Pawnee
Chief Letakots-Lesa who said, "In the beginning of all things, wisdom
and knowledge were with the animals; for Tirawa, the One Above, did
not speak directly to man. He sent certain animals to tell men that
he showed himself through the beasts, and that from them, and from the
stars and the sun and the moon, man should learn."

We wanted to give you an update on the
progress of the Wheelchair Accessibility Project. Below are some
photos of the
Wheelchair Ramp Dedication Ceremony. The
Wilshire United Methodist Church & Native American Fellowship
is now fully wheelchair accessible. The
Native American Flute really can make
a difference! |
