Christmas In
Akiak
On December 21, 1995, the school had
their Christmas program. The part I liked best was Tom's class where
some of his students did lip singing of silly Christmas songs. The
play I was in was the last one to perform. Our play was called, "Christmas In Takchak." The
students that participated were Jackie George, Jonathan Boots, John Tikiun Jr.,
Garrett Evan, Matthew
Shorty, Robert Pitka, Theresa George, Olga Moxie, Mary Jane Shorty,
and I. A lot of the audience was laughing at the boys because they
were dressed up like girls in kuspaks and scarfs, and fake breasts.
We girls were dressed up like men. It's the way they used to do it
many years ago in the gasgiq.
On December 24, the Marshall
community had their Christmas program. It was sort of boring but the
last play was okay. The play was done by the Women's League. Their
play was called "Mrs. Claus Can't Smile," and it was about Mrs. Claus
who couldn't smile and the people who came from different places to
try make her smile. After the program was done, some people started
passing out presents.
On December 28 to 31, I went with the
Marshall Fiddlers to Akiak. During the three nights of square dancing
there were a lot of people from different villages like Quinhagak,
Kwethluk, Bethel and others. Those three nights were boring for me
because all I did was sit and watch the people dance.
When we were coming back from Akiak,
we were just five minutes out of Marshall when we saw a house
burning. When we got closer I noticed
that it was my auntie's and uncle's
house. As we circled once around Marshall we could really see the
flames coming out of the windows and the front door. I had to be
dropped off by Boliver's because my house was too close to the
burning house. That same night after the fire the Race Committee,
Russian Orthodox, and Catholic Churches held a square dance to try to
raise money for the victims of the fire.
