10 S MOKE S IGNALS APRIL 1, 2015 Wellness Day Photos by Michelle Alaimo Isaiah Holmes, middle, scoots to the next chair while playing a game of “shuffle your buns” during the annual Native Youth Wellness Day held in the Tribal gym on Friday, March 27. About 40 middle and high school students attended the event.

The youth partnered up and they each had to choose in their mind to be a bear, salmon or mosquito. Once they both decided, they turned around and made a sign signifying what they chose, hoping to be the same animal. The point of the game was to focus on your partner and read the message they were sending.
