“Unserious ones”

Our Yukon journey came to an end with good memories and profound reflections.
We started off our courses in Eagle Village with a service learning opportunity building a chicken coop, splitting and delivering woods to Elders. The community welcomed us with a delicious potluck: Salmon chowder, fry bread, and salads. We got to listen to the Elders talked about their own experiences and history living in Eagle. What a gift!
We pushed off and enjoyed our days on the Yukon River and continued to expand our knowledge through working together, reading, teaching, and having fun! It was a yet a memorable one! Until next time!
