Boat-naming ceremony held Saturday at MHS
There was a name giving celebration of a slightly different kind this past Saturday at Madras High School. The naming was for three new boats built by “River Wild” – jet boats replacing Jefferson County’s aging propeller boats that have been in service for the past twenty years.
The event was coordinated by the Warm Springs Culture and Heritage Committee, Papalaxsimisha, and the Madras High School Native American Student Union (NASU).
