Hey y'all! I'm at school now. The fact that it's in a different territory, with a different set of awesome folks, is what makes it an incredible experience, though. Having just met some incredible elders of the Resolute community and sampled delicious polar bear stew, muktuk, char, caribou, bannock and seal I am in a state of euphoria right now.
Today Amanda and I thought up the new provitory of Yukonic Columbia. Perhaps I'll make a digital version of our flag and coat of arms later. Our motto is in Latin: 'Westus bestus'. By the way, Ken got us to do it as an activity, we didn't just randomly merge our province and territory... Pizzly bears for the win!
Now for a little quote about static electricity:
Britney: "Why are you going to shock me, Courtney?"
Courtney: "Because you're fun!"
I'm an honorary student here at Qarmartalik, so I'm hoping there won't be honorary homework assignments...
Susan, one of the elders I ate with today, told me that seal meat keeps you warm. (I ate quite a bit, mom, so you can stop worrying.) I hope it serves me well when we're out on the land tomorrow. What an incredible way to spend Earth Day!
I hope today's Day of Silence has gone well at Esquimalt, and that lots of people wore green. Remember: you don't need to speak to wear green, but it sure does say a lot.
I'm really happy with the way the group has come together. It's been fantastic going through all of these spectacular and momentous experiences with this amazing group of folks.
