"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 persons
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. Marys 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. Marys
"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 mothers name is Elizabeth. She welcomed
me into her home with open arms and an open refrigerator. Its
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. Marys
