~my.christmas.break~




My Christmas break went by way too fast. In a nutshell, I was home, then in Anchorage, Aniak, home, Aniak and then back home. The first few days I relaxed at home in chewy and spent time riding around (as I always do).
After Christmas, my mom and I went to Anchorage (as we always do). She bought me a stereo system with surround sound for Christmas. (Yay…loud music!)
I stayed until New Years Eve (as I always do) and went back home to Chuathbaluk for five days of the New Year. My house was like 20 below inside (as it always is during Christmas break), because were always gone. So I spent the week in Chuathbaluk camping at friends’ houses.
After I began to miss my niece and nephew. I went down to Aniak to visit for a couple days before Slavaq (as I always do). I wish I could have made it down sooner for the ballgames, but it was too cold then.
Slavaq this year was so much fun. Everybody and I mean everybody came home. People that haven’t come home in years even came home this year…it was very crowded, but a lot of fun. I had so much fun with my old friends and family that visited.
And just like that…kids were asking if I was going to school on the first day back...I didn’t (I never do) & I was like, “has it been three weeks already?” Everybody who visited went home and everything went back to normal….which sucks. But at least this is the last semester of high school for me ☺

Be.Yourself.


I wish we could all be like babies and be happy and be ourselves without worrying about what people think or say about you.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words


This picture is of me, Priscilla, a.k.a. Onna, and Elizabeth, a.k.a. Gibbis. It was taken on June 1st, 2008 in Chuathbaluk, AK.
We were just bored, (there’s nothing much to do here), and we were ‘playing dress up’. She is the Eskimo and I’m the Indian hippie. Don’t laugh.
Anyways, have you ever read Bird Girl and the Man Who Followed the Sun? It’s about native tribes in Alaska, before the white man came, when the Indians and the Eskimos were enemies and killed each other all the time.
I think this picture, in some way, shows that there’s peace between the Indians and the Eskimos. It makes me feel happy that racial prejudice is not as big an issue anymore
