Joel Isaac's Summer

:

Joel Isaac's Summer

After school was out, Joel went spring camping with Willie D. Jr., Michael P., Jacob I. and Mike D. While he was at spring camp, he did some beaver hunting, duck hunting, and muskrat hunting. He went spring camping a second time with Barbara A. and Willie D. Jr.

He got ready to go commercial fishing in June and fished until July. When he was finished with commercial fishing, he got ready for subsistence fishing. After the fishing season was closed, he went up to his dad's fishcamp for two weeks. When they ran low on supplies he went back to Marshall and got some more for his Appa's camp. Then he rode back to fishcamp by boat with his dad and Appa and helped them build a fish rack. While he was at fishcamp, he also helped his Appa build a big tent frame there. After that he went to get logs for a landing dock at his dad's fishcamp. He also went out bear hunting at Reindeer River and at Nuksuk.

Some other things he did were play ball on the court with his friends, go to church on Sundays, go for boat rides with his friends, rod and reel at Wilson Creek, and swim over at the sandbar on hot days with his friends. His summer was okay for him, he said.
