Y1 Fishing:Y1
Fishing
This summer I did a lot of traveling by boat, hunting, fishing, logging, swimming, and water skiing. But the one I want to share with you is the fishing trip I took to my great uncle's fish camp to commercial fish. It was June 9, and everybody was leaving town for their fishing areas. I just awoke from staying up too late the night before with some friends, and I went out to the living room to get something to eat. Sitting on the table was my mom, and on his lazyboy was my dad watching T.V. "After you are done eating get ready to go fish camp," my dad said in a loud voice. So after eating I got my fishing stuff ready, then we went to the boat and started down the river. I was getting excited because I knew I would see some people that fished close by us. But as we were passing our camp I was wondering what was going on? We were actually going to Y1, and all this time I'd thought we were going to fish up here. When I asked my dad where we were going fishing, he answered, "We're going down river!" Then I started thinking of seeing my cousin, and what we might do there. After we passed our camp we saw a female bear and her cubs. When I got tired of standing I sat back down on our gas tank. After a while I was getting bored sitting down for so long and since I was still sleepy I thought I would take a nap. The next thing I knew I was awakened by large waves, and I stood up to find out where we were. At first I did not know where we were, but then I realized that we were by Boreal, a cannery located below Pitka's Point. Then I asked, "how much further is the fish camp?" My dad answered that Boreal was only half-way from Marshall to their camp. I was thinking in my head, "Holy smokes, so we have about 2 or 3 hours left." It was a very long ride, and that night we never made it to our auntie and uncle's fish camp. By 3 a.m. it was very dark so we stopped and camped in the boat. When we got up next morning my dad tried calling by VHF for our relatives. Finally they answered, and my dad told them that we couldn't find their camp. We gave them our location and they figured that we were right outside their camp. It turned out that we were! After the fishing opening was over we got some sleep. When we woke up we got something to eat then we headed back up to Marshall. On our way up, about a mile or two away from my great uncle's fish camp we ran into some huge waves. A couple of times when we plowed through the waves, there was so much water that came splashing into the boat that we could not see through the windows of our cabin for a few seconds. When we finally got to Marshall I was glad to be home. But the next day we went back down again. So about half my summer I was traveling between downriver and Marshall, and I was getting tired of traveling back and forth. But I had tons of fun with my cousins. Once while drifting during an opening a king salmon even jumped into our boat. And because I had a lot of fun time flew by quickly, and pretty soon fishing was over and we came back home to help put fish away for the summer. By: Matthew Shorty

Yéll and His Wife - From S.E. Alaska:Yéil and His Wife
Yéil lived with his wife on the other side of Lituya Bay in a rock house. They journeyed from Lituya Bay to Dry Bay hunting and fishing. As they travelled up the coast, they passed Icy Bay and Cape Yakutaga. Then they camped. Early the next morning, Yéil sighted two whales and prepared to go after them. He began to load their canoe, urging his wife to hurry. His wife began to load the canoe with her things. Yéil became angry because she put too much stuff in the canoe. After they got out to the ocean, he said that the canoe was overloaded. So he grabbed her sewing basket and threw it into the ocean where it turned into a rock and is still there today. Yéil sighted two whales, one small one, and one large one. He said to his wife, "Cover your face and close your eyes. You must not see me spear the whale." Yéil had everything he needed in the canoe: the spear, the line and the buoy. He followed the two whales, paddling the canoe. When he came close enough he grabbed his spear and got ready to throw it. At that moment, his wife uncovered her face and opened her eyes. Then they and their boat and the whale all turned to rocks. So today you see the two islands in front of Katalla. That island we call "Yaay X'aat'ee" (Whale Island) is where the small whale is now. There is also a small island on the side of Yaay X'aat'ee, and to the south of that island you can see Yéil's spear and his buoy. All of them turned into rocks because Yéil's wife forgot what she was told.

Young Jonathan:Young Jonathan
When Jonathan was small he had two remote control cars. We had Willie Paul over to play with him. When they got tired of playing with the remote control cars they would play boats in the tub. Inside the boats they had spiderman riding inside the boats. When Jonathan was three years old he had two horses, one rocking horse and another one that had springs. He and Christopher would play cowboys and Indians on them. They were fun to watch. They would also let Jumbo, the house dog, be the Indian, and they would capture the Indian and tie him up. We didn't live very far from his grandparents' house. One minute he might be playing at the playground, and the next minute he'd be gone. When he'd run away I'd panic. Then I'd run around looking for him. But he would be at my parents house safe and sound. When he was five years old he used to travel around by boat with my parents. Almost every time his grandpa went out hunting Jonathan would go out with them. Sometimes they would be back after it got dark out. Once he told me how his Uppa shot a bear. He even told me that the bear growled loud after his Uppa shot it. Jonathan told me that same evening that he'd be a good hunter just like his Uppa when he got big.
