About myself

Hi, I would like to introduce you about myself. First off, I would say that I had grew up living in Oscarville for the 18 years of my age except for the 6 months in Atmautluak. Didn't gone out of Alaska yet. But hopefully someday I might. I attend school in Qugcuun Memorial in the community of 60-70 people. I am the daughter of Sammie N. Waska and Mary (Tom) Waska, in my family I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers in which the names are Samantha, me, Jessica, Patrick, Valentina, Jeffrey, and my youngest sister Jamaica. The things I like to do is watch over my siblings and traveling only once in a great while, mainly because I need to stay focused on my school or career. Secondly, I spend most of my quality time being independent (don't want to expand on that), anyways I have a life as you but only different because each and one of us have special talents and we take our skills we do know differently, but imagine if all the people's world went off the same, we probably will feel bored and feel like it's not a world of difference. So this is all I am going to say for now. Take care and have fun. God Bless.

If there were no birds...

Imagine what would it be like if there was no birds in our area! If there were no birds we wouldn't have known what and when the river will break-up during the spring to summer season. usually there is a saying about any specific birds. For example, like redheads always goes to a person that is a shaman, once they entered the house, the shaman will then know that someone they are close to or perhaps someone they know has passed away. Another example of what it will be like if there were no birds is that we wouldn't know if one of the people that my family knows well that passed away. Like swallows, for example are always entering my house, and once they've entered it, a little while later we hear that someone like related passed away. It there were no birds than i don't know which animals will come near to let us know that the relative as one of my family do know that passed away. So, in my thoughts there is any animal or mammals that has a spirit, that co-operates with human beings of certain ethnicity.
