A Different
Village
My summer vacation was fun but went
by very fast. This past summer I did a variety of different
things. I started my summer by living somewhere else. At the end of
the school year I moved down to Mountain Village till early July.
While I was there I experienced a lot of things. I saw how it was to
live without parents and the ones you need. At times I felt so
helpless because it's hard living without someone supporting you with
the things you need in daily life.
While I was there I commercial fished
with Larry Hunter and Nick Fitka Jr. And on my free time I walked
around, went to St. Mary's to shop, had Eskimo dance practice, rode
around, and just hung out with my friends. I couldn't bear going
without Eskimo dancing so I had practices with the Mtn. Village high
school Yupik dancers.
It was nice to leave Marshall for a
while. Everything is a lot different in Mtn. Village than it is here.
The reason for this is because Mountain Village has more people, and
so they have more problems. Because of this they have a community
policy that is more strict. For example, a $50.00 fine without
warning for curfew violation if you are under the age of 18. And the
amount moves $50.00 more every time you get busted. But then I got
used to the law and it wasn't a problem.
While I was living there I stayed at
Nanette Myre and John Wilde's house. I stayed at my grandpa's house
for a while but his old age bored me. Just old age I think! Where I
was staying sometimes made me feel creepy because strange things
would occur without anyone touching them. One time when I was ready
for bed I turned off my small mini electric heater in my room and
right before I closed my eyes the heater went back on. Right when
that occurred I turned to see the pointer moving up to high all by
itself. By then I knew what was happening because many other strange
things had happened before that incident, and I wasn't afraid. I
practically got used to most of the weird things that
happened.
When I first moved there I really
wasn't sure if it would be a good place for me or not because you
never can judge what might happen or how things could turn out. There
is a big difference in the way people act there than here. As you get
into smaller rural communities people have more respect than in
bigger communities. There it was like noone cared what they
did.
