Living the Eskimo Ways

Now-a-days we Yupiks' are loosing our culture and our respect for our surroundings. We are also loosing the habbits of what our ancestors beliefs were: they're way of living, they're way of showing respect towards the land, people, even they're homes and families. We yupiks' need to step up and bring our background information back, cause once its gone it's gone, theres no way to turn back. I know there is reasons for us not to do these things: eskimo dancing, telling stories (story knife, string stories), living the old ways, hunting, fishing, etc. But we need to take those chances and make our "yupik" culture a more understandable peice for the outside world, we need to show them what we are and who we came from. I know i don't like to dance but i sure want to keep the other things in place, like: old way of life, hunting, fishing, trapping (all the ways of hunting) and the rest of they're hobbies. So lets help one another and keep our culture alive and healthy for our ancestors and for the people around us.

Halloween

This past weekend wasn't really good for me. I didn't want to work because i didn't want to miss out on what i like doing. but it was aight, i had fun, at times. I'm happy i worked because, my weekend took a long time to pass by, and thats what i really wanted. I wanted to take time off school and work to rest. Also i am happy that i got sick for couple days:-). I know it sounds dumb but it helped me take time off and rest. Anyway, my weekend was.....you can say it was the best for me. :-)
