Random thoughts about all that I can muster. As William Shatner once said, "Get a life!"

We got this book in our teacher mailboxes the other day. It is a plain white cover with some raised words as the title of the book: Moon of the Bird Sling. The cover also has the native words "tengiirvik," "lluuvik," and "natchiaqtuvik." This is a book about the area from the Norton Sound Health Corporation that serves the communites around Nome, Alaska. It is very interesting and includes lots of local customs, beliefs, and sayings. I hope over the next week or two to scan a lot of it to share. By the way, I know that "lluuvik" means the month of April.
