Uncle Oley is the oldest elder in the tribe. He is 86 years old, unstable in his walk, has failing eyesight, yet is an absolute joy to be around. Some of us had the opportunity to go over to his house to clean up his yard, do some small cleaning in his house and just hang out and talk with him. His house could be a museum because he has so many items related to his people. He has a basket that his family made that is 150 years old! Hand-carved canoe paddles, small totem poles and other beautiful wood carvings. It is hard for him to do much of this these days due to his pour eyesight but he is fun to talk to and learn from.
Click on the link to the left marked "Uncle Oley's" where you will find pictures of Uncle Oley and some of our crew working in his yard and spending time with him. Uncle Oley shared with us that today had been one of the best days he had in a long time because he had people to visit with and to be around. We are so thankful that we were able to be used in such a simple but mighty way. We will be back to his house tomorrow to finish up the yard work.
