Skiing, Fishing, a Painting, and a Poem

Destination: Top of Sweetheart Mountain




Fishing on the river begins after feeze up.



This is one of my favorite pieces of art work from class.


And... a beautiful poem co-created and in class:

The Most Important Thing About Elders

The most important thing about you
Is that you have always been there for us.

You tell us great stories about survival,
And childhood a long time ago.

You teach us important traditional things.
You teach us how to fish in the summer and winter,
How to sew, chop wood, and work hard.

You inspire us to know the river well,
Use a good sense of humor,
Spend valuable time with our family,
And be helpful.

But, the most important thing about you
Is that you have always been there for us.
