day 7

today we woke up early to leave to a fisheries place to talk about the salmon that are put on the endangered species list so they talked about how they made this dam thing and there is only on way they get in and when they do they get trapped so the guy that catches the fish he puts them into a crate thing and they shut it and send it up in a  con vary belt and this guy whats for the fish to calm down. so when they are calmed he opens a latched door and they all flow out into this big tub and they put one fish at a time in this other tub and then they measure the length then they check the fish if it has a radio antenna in it the they slide it up and down between this blue thing to check its nose for a metal thing in its nose then they give it a shot and then they put this antenna in its throat and body then put it in a box then they do it again to every fish in the box. then they talked to us for about an hour then we left to this guys office to tell us about the fish then we left to the wallawo lake to go swimming. i went swimming and it was kinda cooled  so we swam for 30 minutes and it was fun and then we had to collect rocks for this thing that jessica explained so i found some rocks then we left to the pow wow grounds to a feast then we ate then we meet up to talk with this old guy elmer crow that he talked about how we was young and how he growed up with his grandpa and how he was in the 1882 war i don't know if thats the right year. but he brought some hand held weapons that the nativeAmericans used for battle like a weapon that has a horn on each side and used for right handed users. that was used for breaking bones and other severe wounds, and another hand held weapon with a rock on it.  then some hand crafted bows then he left. so i took  shower and walked around till the pow wow stopped.
