The Utah State Office of Education Title VII Program in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Red Butte Garden, the Urban Indian Center and the Utah Natural History Museum hosted the second annual of the Earth Connections Camp, American Indian Nature Camp on June 18.
The camp’s goal is to reconnect urban American Indian youth with their natural world and cultural heritage, organizers said.
The 30 campers, divided into two groups, spent the day at Red Butte Garden learning about American Indian traditions, history, arts and craft, storytelling and nutrition.
American Indian educators and specialists from the various partners led each of the learning stations.
Juan Palma, BLM Utah state director, was the keynote speaker. He shared his story of growing up in a family of migrant workers and the difference education made in his life.
Other activities during the day-long camp included building solar toys and constructing dams with the assistance of Bureau of Reclamation staff.
“I was so impressed with the instructors, volunteers, and especially the campers,” said Jeanette Shackelford, BLM Utah State Youth Program Lead. “The kids were respectful and attentive, and I personally learned a lot from listening to the different sessions.”
Organizers hope to continue to collaborate and expand the day-camp to have more students attend.
I had a blog once that had a very simple layout. The only graphical item on it (besides the actual content) I used a stock photo of a USB cable very similar to this one. I will try to see if I can find the photo... or even the original layout image...

This is a collection of my work. The way I paint is truly how I see the world around me. The images are a collection of my art work witch is produced by a style called automatic painting and drawing. The photography is snapshots of smoke and clouds with a before image untouched and a second image of the same subject with just slight adjustment to enhance what I already see. If you look close at some of the images and or rotate them they will also change. And last there will be images that show a little about myself. I will admit allot of people's vision has been changed after really looking at the images I show you. If this happens do not fear! There is something there for you. If there is any questions please feel free to contact me at glennaupperle@gmail.com. Thank you and remember the connection is right there when you look past your own nose. You might find yourself staring back at you.
