It's been a few days and I meant to blog on Monday, but I've been really busy, and I mean it! We had a two day potlatch, Monday an Yesterday, and when they say two days, they mean two days! Both days were 12 hours in the hall... that's lots! Here are some photos. Just a disclaimer, I'm not too great on action shots with bad lighting so these were the only "publish worthy" shots.

This is a shot of a humming bird mask.Usually I've seen this dance done with four masks, but this time only two were used.

The other mask ... I think it is a loon. This is also my student's favorite dance ... maybe because one of her brothers carved the mask and her other brother dances in the mask!

My dinner plate on day two. I ate all my fish too!!

I sat with one of my students and her mom and aunt. They were awesome to sit with, we laughed a lot. My student was suppose to get adopted, but they ran out of time and she was really disappointed. I feel really bad about that :(
'm quite tired and I need to prepare for a wedding so I'll probably comment more on the potlatch later.

FYI: Said hi to my crush. I think he's super shy. Anyway, I asked him if he received my letter. He didn't. Fuck! I didn't have his mailbox number, only his street address, but I guess they couldn't figure that out at the post office. And I didn't get it back as not sent. What complicates matters more, is that there is another guy in town with the exact same name ... except he's 18. I hope to god he didn't get it, that would just all the more awkward. But it's funny all the same!!
