Today marked the final day of Fishing Week. We began with the closing ritual known as the Thanking of the Waters, a heartfelt tribute to the rivers and lakes that nourish our community. Afterwards Bubba delivered what would surely have been a moving closing speech, although much of it was lost to the lively chatter and small talk from the Xoco.
Continuing the festivities, we hosted our traditional Fishing Week Race, which this year featured barrels instead of canoes. The competition was fierce but friendly. Goo’s impressive skills earned her 1st place, while Micke took a close 2nd, and Helen secured a respectable 3rd place. Thank you for all that came and particiapted in Fishing Week
