Cama-i

Enjoy these photos from our recent trip to Bethel for the native dance festival Cama-i


We were shocked by how many people came. There were thousands of people at the school. In Alaska at least, we're only used to seeing 40-50 people a day, so it was a strange experience.

The "fort" we made where we slept at the district office with our Northern friends from Kasigluk. Tony, pictured above, is also from PA and a big time hunter and fisherman. I suggested at the beginning of the year that he should get into trapping. At season's end, he caught almost 20 fox and has a bunch of students trapping with him. 


One of the better dance groups we saw. Don't be fooled by their size, these kids were amazing!




The next time we see Bethel, we'll be on our way back to PA for the summer!
