ESK Immersion hosted a Mawiomi on the Castle Bay Ballfield on Friday, June 16. The weather was just right for dancing. We had guests from near and far as far as Guetemala. We also had lots of photo ops including from the sky from a drone operated by a guest who was writing a story about our community. Students danced to the drum led by male head dancer, Pasmay Doucette, Jr.male head dancer, Zacc Doucette, and Jr.female head dancer Callie Stevens. Emcee Calvin Stevens did a great job emceeing his first powwow. After a morning of dancing, students and guests participated in the giveaway and a feast to end the Mawiomi. Thanks to the Powwow committee and all staff and volunteers for a great day to celebrate our culture.

Mr. Joe Googoo. an avid trapper, hunter and fisherman came to share his knowledge and experience with our students. Joe demonstrated several different traps for different types of game. He also showed the students how to start a fire with a flint and cooked smelts over the fire. Every student tasted the smelts, some students liked it more than others and asked for a second helping. Thanks for Mr. Calvin Stevens for inviting Mr.Googoo to the school. It was an interesting day for learning valuable lessons.
