Bye Bye Spokane, Hello Republic

July 25th, 2013

The Spokane Tribe has been so giving and nice. They provided us dinner at Arby's which we were all grateful for. They are very giving people. They have a lot of knowledge of the past and the futre, that they are willing to share. I hope to use this knowledge to try and solve the problems that are happening in all reservations. 

We are now heading to Stonerose in Republic, Washington to look for fossils. Fossils are carbon compressed with minerals are stained by water. Fossils in this area date back to 48 to 50 years old. There once was a lake but to present day has dried up. Typically people have found fossils with leafs, insects, ginkgo, fish at Stonerose. In that site there are currently 12 researchers studying fossils. 

Some students found fossils with pine needles, and lake debris. My partner Briana and I found nothing :(
