I made a really cute heart necklace out of a abalone shell and used dogbane for necklace string. I also made a matching anklet with Jessica, we used dogbane and and a tiny sea shell for a cute detail.
The thing i related to the most is the respect of the sil`i`yik. I relate to it because in the pow wow world I was told by my elders not to walk or go across the arena and to walk in the way of the clock and also was told to enter at a certain part of the circle depending of the season.
My favorite cultural feeling part was staying in the ops. I liked staying in the ops because i kinda got a real feel of how some of the Chumash or maybe my ancestors lived.
