Suzie Slockish helps prepare salmon for feast.
Even though the weather was rather cool, this year's
ageless Huckleberry Feast was as good as all those of the
past. Relatives and friends from far and near came to assist
or to be with the ones they love during the annual
celebration of the huckleberry harvest ceremony.
Huckleberry Feast 1 996, was held August 2, 3 and 4, at the
He-He Longhouse. It included a powwow on Friday and
Saturday evening. The ceremony concluded on Sunday
afternoon.
A big thanks to all the cooks and kitchen helpers. Everyone
enjoyed the delicious meals that were prepared during the
feast: the deer meat, fry bread, fruits and especially the
salmon, cooked outside over an open fire.

Why do parents "adults"
contribute to minors?
Why do parents abuse their

ing to do with their work or other .
problems?
Why do people expect the youth
to get into community involvement ;
when there is not a whole lot to do?
Why don't the adults do more
stuff with the teenagers?
The education they provide for
us has no meaning. They expect us to
succeed. They don't put anything
out to help or to learn. There is no
value in the lessons, schools, they
teach. And we need a high school.
Why do teenagers drop out when
high school gets hard? They should
continue on and make a future for
themselves
Teenagers need to stop getting
pregnet. They always dump their
kids on their parents or grandparents.
