Elder E.N. came in to do a demonstration of how to tan animal pelts.  Talked about sewing fur parkas and stories about when she was growing up.  She was also video taped by a teacher.  The core group was there along with some school kids who were watching her. She then came into a classroom where she helped tan some beaver pelts. 
The students enjoyed her when she came in.

Meeting cancelled due to STRESS!! (you can delete this, it was just put in there as a joke.)

14 core group members were there with 10 guests were there for the meeting.  Using the “Ways of knowing” notes we split the groups into three.  Topics for the groups were land marks, Men and Women’s roles, Planning on Eskimo dances.  It was decided that 2nd grade class would have Eskimo dance practices every day of the week and a Christmas performance would be an outcome of the practices. At the end of the meeting, the next meeting was set for December 13th, which was a Monday, but we postponed the meeting to another date because of the Holidays coming up.

Core group got some beaver pelts for our future activities
