This Wednesday, the annual Salmon Bake will take place in the MU Quad starting at 12:30 pm. There is a cool article in the GT that features some of our Native American students collecting camas, a bulb that serves as a traditional staple of the Native Peoples in the Pacific Northwest.

After a moment more of working the ground, she pulled out a bulb of camas, a staple of American Indian diets in Oregon before pioneers arrived.

“I think it tastes like a cross between a sweet potato and an onion,� said Lycett, 22, the internal coordinator of Oregon State University’s Native American Longhouse. “It’s different, but I love it.�

This Saturday and Sunday (the 17th and 18th) the OSU Pow Wow will be taking place. The event will be held at McAlexander Field House.
