SPOKANE, Wash. – Patrick Pierre’s lifelong passion with the Salish language has been a guide in his life. Recently, it led him to the hectic Pend d’Orielle Pavillion in the massive Northern Quest Resort and Casino.
He seemed a world away, attending the Celebrating Salish 2011 Conference. Pierre had left behind his Greek wife and sweat lodge on the shores of Dog Lake, Mont., driving three hours to be recognized for his extensive work in revitalizing the ancient tribal language.
