Hello from Rose Henry

Welcome to the Pitzer pipeline participants of 2013. I believe that for most of you this is your first time attending college and mostly your first time a way from your community and all your supports. So I welcome you with all my heart and wisdom as I was also on a similar journey as you are because I started my own journey of a strong desire for a a better education in hopes of creating a better future for my little family.

I am from the Sliammon Nation which is where my mother is from. My father is from AlertBay / Squirrel cove area. We follow the matriarch role so I am a apart of the killer whale clan. My father is a part of the mountain goat. Both of these nations are a small part of the Salish Nation.  I have reside in Mutula for the past 29 years. Mutula is what is currently known as Victoria BC., Canada. I moved to Victoria in 1983 as a mature single parent from my hometown to attended college.

Dear Pipeline Community,

We are happy to announce that we have recently received a generous grant from Pechanga’s Tribal Council to support this year’s Pipeline Program.

We are grateful for their support, as it means that we are able to continue to provide the Pipeline experience to our new and returning students; the 3-day camping trip at the Wishtoyo’s Chumash Cultural Village in Malibu, visiting the Hawaiian Gardens Powwow and Bear Ceremony, meeting Dr Lori Alvord, the first woman Diné surgeon, the SAT Prep intensive taught by a certified instructor, and the visit to FNX Studios.

This year’s Program will be a wonderful experience. Once again, we thank the Pechanga Tribal Council for their vision in supporting Native educational access and programs.

Scott Scoggins, MA
