Our staff and students have been busy this fall season! We are so grateful for the donation of some beautiful fish and the opportunity to use our smokehouse. We even had some clams donated to us!

We have taken part in an archery, witnessed the gift of oral histories being shared in the Kumugwe Big House, hosted Courtenay Elementary students for Halloween, and participated in a fossil hunt.

We were also excited to take part in the Everyone Deserves A Smile initiative, and help to decorate cards and bags and to make cedar roses for those in need in our community.
