We are involved in cultural heritage week here in Chevak. It is sort of like field day without the warm sunny weather. Our cultural heritage week started off with the blanket toss. The blanket is actually a big skin - forgot to find out what kind. The children had to have permission slips since this blanket toss thing is pretty dangerous. Only one sweet little kindergarten girl hit the ground - I mean hit the ground. There's so much sloshy snow she wasn't injured though. It was scary there for a mintue. Later during the day we had Elders and other folks from surrounding villages come in and have classes and cultural activities with the children. It is great fun and lasts for three days - so I figure this is Field Day Eskimo style. Only four more weeks of school!!! I snowed again today - and was the most beautiful snow we have had so far - huge flakes floating softly through the air.
