Do you feel ready to represent your own culture?: I feel ready because I met the people we were staying with and I know a little about them. |

| Destination Seven: The First Time We Meet |
|
|
|
|
This was the Chevak students' 1st time skiing and for some, their 1st time to set eyes on skiis.
|
We learned how to work together. We were told to break into 2 groups. We didn't separate by urban/rural areas. Then we learned to work together instead of competing.
|
We even got to face our fears. This was our 1st time holding a snake.

| Area for Exploration One: One Thing We Must See Or Experience When We Go To [our Sister School Community] : |
History in the Making.
Historic Hatcher Pass Mine. |
|
What we learned. There is a cross on top of one of the mountain peaks, a huge rock was carried down by a glacier from another mountain, and the mine was privately owned, now the mine is in a state park. |
|
Chevak students never skiied before, but yet they gave it a try. |
|
|
| |
| Area for Exploration Two |
| Dairy Farms |
|
What we learned. They get milk from a certain type of cows, the grass the cows eat turns to milk, they have the cows give birth, then sell the milk that the cow is lactating. |
|
This is where the milk is made. |
|
|
| |
| Area for Exploration Three |
| Wilda's view of Anchorage |
|
What we learned. How Anchorage got its power from a ship, she thinks that Russia didn't have the right to sell Alaska because it wasn't theirs to begin with, and that Elmendorf was Ft. Richardson or vise versa |
