COCC Transforms Annual Salmon Bake
The First Nations Student Union at Central Oregon Community College (COCC) will adapt its annual Salmon Bake celebration into a series of free cultural programs this week, May 24-28, all accessed remotely. Several of the events feature members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
Forgoing the popular in-person event this year due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the student group and the college’s Native American program are instead presenting virtual events via live and prerecorded sessions.
Fry Bread making demonstration with Joie Simtustus

Joie is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and is graciously allowing us to re-post the fabulous fry bread video we made in the fall. Joie is also a former COCC student and is now taking classes at OSU Cascades. Joie will share the fry bread recipe that her grandmother shared with her. You may view this 20–30-minute video at any time during the week of May 24 – 28 on the event’s website.
