Caribou Hunting at
Kalskag
On January 29, several men from Marshall
went caribou hunting over by Kalskag on the Kuskokwim River.
I went with them. The other men were: Herman George, Paul
Boots (Abus), Simeon Sergie, Vassily Sergie, Wes Pitka, Moe
Duny and John Tikiun Jr. We all left in the afternoon and
got to Kalskag in the evening. The next day we followed the
Kusko 300 trail that led to the tundra where all the caribou
were. There were between 10-50 thousand caribou migrating
from south of Kalskag to the northeast.
But we only saw two caribou on that trip.
Wes caught one of them and wounded the other one which I
finished off. My dad and Abus helped us skin the caribou. We
then returned to Kalskag because we didn't see anything
else.
On Sunday afternoon most of us decided to
come back home because we didn't have enough gas to go out
hunting again. J.B., Moe and I left Kalskag in the
afternoon, and I had to lead these guys because they didn't
know the trail from Kalskag to Russian Mission. It didn't
take us long because we were going fast most of the
way.
My dad and Abus stayed at Kalskag for
another couple of days to hunt caribou. They said they saw a
lot of caribou when they went out hunting. My dad shot five
times and caught five caribou. Abus got three of them. He
gave one to his cousin in Kalskag and kept two of them. Both
men returned to Marshall from Kalskag on the 3rd of
February.
Our trip was fun because that was the
first time I had gone caribou hunting. It was good for the
other men too because they got some tasty meat out of the
deal.

Recently Father Deacon Nick Isaac went to
Anchorage for both the Clergy Retreat and the Diocesan
Assembly. Metropolitan Theodosius was there as well as many
other Clergy from both Alaska and the Lower 48. There was
even a priest from Siberia that attended the meeting.
According to Father Deacon Nick, His Grace, our Bishop
Innocent, is planning to be in Russian Mission for Pasca
(Passover). He will also be traveling up the river and
visiting most of the Orthodox churches during Holy Week.
This will be a big event for people because no Bishop in the
Orthodox Church has ever been on the Yukon during Holy Week
or Russian Orthodox Easter. Lent will begin on the last week
of February, and Pasca will be on the nineteenth of
April.

Father Paul Cochran plans to be here for
a week to do some work with Clara Shorty who is the Parish
Council Administrator, and with Deacon Alvin Owletuck. For
the past two to three weeks Father Paul has been in St.
Mary's working in the Native Ministery Program. He has also
been doing wsork in Russian Mission as well as in Marshall.
He divides his time between these two villages and travels
to one or the other in the first week of every month. In
both villages he visits homes and says weekly
masses.
Father Paul and other volunteers recently
finished the new church here in Marshall, and he is just now
finishing some little parts in the priest's quarters. He is
also designing the new church that is about to be built in
Russian Mission.
He says that he also works with Clara
doing the Confirmation class for teens who are at least 16
years old. The Bishop usually does the confirming every two
years. He and Clara will also soon begin to prepare the
children for their First Communion, which will be on
Mother's Day. That is only two and a half months
away.

Career Fair at Hooper
Bay
Between February 4-6 the juniors and
seniors of Marshall High School went over to Hooper Bay for
the LYSD Career Fair. When the juniors and seniors arrived
from the other villages we all sat down at the tables and
took ASVAB tests that lasted for three hours. After the test
we had an hour break until supper. After supper they had a
dance from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. A band made up of teachers
from Hooper Bay provided the music. They were pretty good,
but most of the students wanted to have a disco dance. From
10:00 to 11:00 we had snacks and got ready to go to
bed.
On Thursday morning after breakfast, we
had an assembly at the gym for half an hour, then we got
with our groups and went to the sessions we were scheduled
to go to. Our choices were: RAHI, UAA, APU, Tribal College,
ATC, Calista Corporation, Alaska State Troopers, AVCP,
Fisheries, USFG, YKHC, LYSD, Yuuyaraput, and AIR. At noon we
ate lunch, then we continued with our sessions at 1:00. We
got through at 4:00 p.m. After that, we were assigned to go
to the gym where prizes were given to students who filled
out a passport given to them during the sessions. To receive
a prize you had to fill the passport with five different
signatures from the presenters. At 6:00 we ate supper, then
from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. we had a disco dance.
On Friday we didn't do anything but play
ball, talk with our friends and wait in the gym until it was
our time to leave for home.
