1) I made a clapper? I don’t think that is what they’re called. I also made an abalone necklace. The dogbane rope I made I used it to make an anklet. The experience was great because I was doing very well at the start. I’m able to learn quickly. Bingo also told us how he used the clapper sticks in Canada, about how important events like a wedding day or big events.
2) The teaching I have learned is mostly from the elders how they told their creation story different from other tribes. I also learned how important ceremony is that we don’t always need a phone.
3) The entire trip I liked how I learned more about how long it took to create Wishtoyo Village. My favorite experience was being around other people learning how to make crafts everyone seemed to have a great time. \
I am looking forward to the rest of the week. I’m waiting on the return of our college essay class papers to be returned. I didn’t try my hardest on the assignment but it was an important story to me. I am also looking forward to graduation I bought a white dress(probably going to get dirty). The only thing I’m not looking forward to is saying goodbye but goodbyes are never ment to say goodbye forever more like see you in the future. I am excited to see what the future brings to me because I want to be in business and maybe one day own my own business here in California.
Picture by me :]
