"When I first left on this trip I had no idea how much it would change my life. While I was in Kalskag I experienced a whole new way of life. I learned that stereotypes are most often wrong and you should look at things first hand and not take another person’s opinion of it."
---Amber Kempner, Chugiak High School

"There is no way to explain exactly what going to Toksook Bay did for me. It taught me that people are people, no matter how they dance or what they eat, and that different cultures are a wonderful thing, something that should be protected…"
---Erin Steinkruger, Steller Secondary

"We rode for an hour on snowmachines to check nets set under the ice, in the exact same manner that had been used for hundreds of years. While there, we ate dried seal meat dipped in oil, candy bars and drank kool aid."
---Christa Brelsford, Family Partnership Charter School

"St. Mary’s is a beautiful town full of spirit and life. It does not wait for you to reach for it, it reaches out to you first."
---Lila Hobbs, Steller Secondary

"I had a great time getting involved in the program and will always remember it. I like it all together. I especially liked all the nice people. If I could, I would do the program again."
--Kimberly Joe, St. Mary’s

"I got a better understanding of city life. This also prepared me to go to college by attending a huge high school with a lot of students. They made me feel like I was part of the family. I thought the people of Anchorage were very nice!"
- -Sheila Waska, Kotlik

"My host mother’s name is Elizabeth. She welcomed me into her home with open arms and an open refrigerator. It’s not everyday you meet someone who is willing to give up time and money to a complete stranger. Her hospitality made me feel right at home. My host sister, Shannon, was very nice in that she took time out of her busy week to spend time with me. I would like to thank them both for taking care of me while I was in Anchorage."
--Vern Emmons, St. Mary’s
