Question of the week
W hat are your thoughts on the Huckleberry Feast?
Rosemary Charley
I ’m a participant and one
o f the misunderstandings o f
non-tribal employees is
because the word feast is used,
they assume that alcohol and
partying is involved.
They don’t realize that it’s a
traditional ceremony. Because
they don’t honor, they don’t
agree with the time o ff we
request. Some o f us don’t get
cultural leave. We don’t always
get time off.
Also it’s a late feast and by
the time we have a chance to
get there we’ll have to fight
with the immigrants.
It’s neat, good time to
get together with all the
people.
It is a good time for
cultural stuff, and a great
time to learn from it.
Also the time spent out
there can be spent with
our Elders.
