I don’t think I’ve written a newsletter article since before mov-ing to Kokhanok in 2006! So bear with me guys. I just re-cently got hired for the ICWA position at the office, and so far it’s been good!

I attended the BIA providers Conference meeting in Anchorage. I attended the human services meet-ings and they were depressing which makes me glad I come from such an amazing village! The meetings were about tribal courts, ICWA and OCS working together, and activity ideas for staying away from drugs & alcohol.

What I like about my new job is planning fun games and activities for the kiddos and adults. For my first activity, I did decorating sugar cookies and I loved it! I have some games planned for our next meet and it should be pretty fun. Having this job gives me the ability to play games that are fun for kids, which means I can act like a kid and play right along with them. I love it, I don’t think I'll Cookie decorating at the Hangar ever grow up fully.
