I would like to tell you about my home town. There are only about a hundred people in our village, and most of the time we live on sea foods; fish, seal, clams, (and many others). We all help pick berries to make jam for the winter. At home we get mail two times a week. Summer time the people fish on the beach, and my mother cooks for the fishermen. There are also many purse-seiners who fish around our home town. Our village has a church, which we all enjoy. We are all Aleuts and speak the same lan guage; a mixture of Aleut and Rus sian. I hope this report will give you a little glimpse of my wonderful home. Madelyn Reft O'ne of the vital parts of the Chemawa Indian School is its Health Center.
