Camas Lily Days: A celebration of historic cultureThis year, the Camas

Chamber of Commerce and the Camas Art Coun-

cil collaborated to produce the Camas Lily Days festival. Since last year, this event has nearly doubled in size and all of the vendors remain opti-mistic about future growth of the festival. Camas Lily Days is a tradition that began with the Shoshone-Bannock tribes who first traveled to Camas in the early 1900’s to harvest the root of camas lilies, which they used to supplement their diet. As part of an educational component to the festival, the Shoshone-Bannock tribe pre-formed a series of ceremonial dances, including singing and drum playing.

The tribe has been coming to Fairfield for the past five years to carry on the tradition of their ancestors and to perform ceremonial dances. The festival is just beginning to grow, and next year the whole tribe is expected to participate. To begin the presentation, a father and son preformed a “love song,” drumming and singing together. Next, a community member gave a prayer thanking the unity of everyone present, asking for love and kindness to all, and to maintain respect for one’s elders and children. Following the prayer, the danc-ers were introduced and then preformed a series of eight dances, which were accom-panied by drumming and the singing of traditional honor songs. The tribe preformed together, individually, and in groups based on their age. The tribe educates members of all ages and children typically begin dancing at the age of

five or younger, continuing to learn more difficult dances as they grow older. At the end of the program the dancers preformed a “round dance” where they invited people from the crowd to join in the spirit of friendship.

Other events from the festi-val included an arts, crafts and antique fair featuring artists from all over Idaho. Some highlighted vendors included Carmela Winery which offered wine tasting and mimosas, Living Symbols Wearable Art by Suzanne K. McCartney who dis-played unique Precious Metal Clay jewelry, and hand-crafted bird houses by George Pullin who has been in the business for eleven years. Many of the vendors plan on making an ap-pearance at the Hailey Farmer’s Market this summer as well.

Whether visiting vendor’s stations, interacting with the tribe members or enjoying a delicious pancake breakfast, the visitors were able to relax in a beautiful, peaceful envi-ronment while experiencing a bit of history.

Hi, my name is Rian Ervin and I will be interning at theweekly-paper this summer. I am currently a junior at Colby

College where I am a double major in English and Spanish. I graduated from The Commu-nity School in 2007, and I have lived in the Valley for the past nine years. I was a member of the SV5B swim team, and at Colby I have continued to swim

on the women’s swimming and diving team. Aside from swimming, I also enjoy playing soccer, skiing, traveling, camp-ing, writing and photography. Next semester I will be studying abroad in Madrid, Spain, where I hope to perfect my Spanish-speaking skills. After college I plan on pursuing a career in journalism or publishing, and I am excited to be working at theweeklypaper this summer! Camas Centennial Marsh: The Camas Centennial Marsh, home to acres of beauti-

ful Camas lilies, is also home to a wide variety of colorful birds.

Right: This tribal member performed the Men’s Fancy—a complicated and physically strenuous dance involving handstands, jumps and cartwheels. Despite the fact that this 60-year-old dancer had completed a 16-mile run the day before as part of another cul-tural tradition, you would never be able to tell from the energy and excitement he emitted through his dancing.

Children were an important component to all of the dances, and traditional dances are taught to children from a young age. PhoTos: Rian eRvin

Sun Valley Acoustic WeekendBY KAREN BOSSICK

You can leave your ear-plugs at home when Sun Valley Resort presents

an acoustic weekend of music featuring such acts as Marcus Eaton and Keb’ Mo’.

The two-day music festival on Friday and Saturday at the Sun Valley Pavilion will feature a variety of music, from Appa-lachian-style to folk and blues. And it’s all unplugged.

“I wanted to do something during the late slack season that we can build as a yearly tradition. And acoustic music provides a great atmosphere,” said John Mauldin, the resort’s entertainment director.

The weekend will offer a festival-type atmosphere with band merchandising and hamburgers and other food for sale on the lawn outside the Pavilion.

Concert seating will be under cover, nixing the need for sun-screen or umbrellas.

Three shows will be offered each night:

Friday, 4 p.m. —Emiko will jumpstart the concert with a variety of ballads and high-en-ergy vocals backed by a piano, bass guitar and drums. The New York singer, who per-formed at Sun Valley during February’s 2009 World Winter Special Olympics Games, was a classical musical prodigy who

switched gears to rock and roll and released her first album at age 16.

Friday, 6 p.m.—Colors performs high-energy folksy harmony with intricate guitar and bongo backup. The group has recorded five albums.

Friday, 6 p.m.—The Duhks, pronounced “ducks,” of Winni-peg, Manitoba, will headline the evening with their neo-blue-grass music that includes jigs, as well as original music with Afro-Cuban jazz and other influences.

History through dances

Eagle feathers are a part of many of the dancers’ costumes. In Shoshone-Bannock culture, the eagle acts as “spirit bird” which carries prayers from the earth to the creator. Read about it on page 9

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

The Special Olympics World Winter Games that Sun Valley hosted in February touted the idea that we’re

all very much alike, despite our differences.

But, before the Winter Games came to Idaho, Mister Rogers was espousing the same kind of ideas from the platform of his TV neighborhood.

In that vein, Hedda Sharapan is present-ing a behind-the-scenes look at the work of Fred Rogers in a free presentation titled “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Community Cam-pus Theater in Hailey.

The presentation is a thank you from Special Olympics Idaho to the community
