Tumalo Week 3: Opening Circle

Tumalo Week 3: Opening Circle


When we arrive at Skyliner Lodge, at the base of Tumalo Valley, we circled up in the woods behind the lodge. Today we are going to a new study site because of the Bend city water pipeline project. I felt dissapointed about the road being closed to our study site I had come to love. We learn that we are doing art, water testing and solitude and reflection, and we read a piece from the Mosaic of Tumalo. We read a peice from Martha Campbell "Through this precious and converted gem in the tumalo water shed protected by the U.S. Forest Service, the glorious area around us is still open to recreators." After were done reading we are told what our ethnography group jobs for the day. My ethnography job for the day was to cordinate the opening circle.  Finally we head to our temporary study site taking out our feildwork journals along the way, on the way Karen told us to look for any new sign of impact caused by the road being closed off. We did this to mainly focus on our social scientest views.


All of the class huddled in our opening circle ready to start the day.
