Out two young men in the 6th grade class had to fill in for a couple of our guys who got a slight stomach bug (don't worry all is good now). The 6th grade had their class trip to Great Falls for fun and food. We stayed behind to help in the school. The immersion students continued tutoring and reading with the DLSBS students. In some cases they were helping set up for the presentations that evening.
After school they visited with Mr. Harry Barnes a local business man who discussed the economics of reservation life. He also discussed his family history and the historical cultue shift of the Blackfeet. He gave perspective of how poverty can impact drug and alcohol abuse.
That evening the CBC boys stuck around and listened to the 7th and 8th grade presentations on the cultural history of the Blackfeet. The presentations served a good lesson for all about research, preparation and history. In some cases they helped the students prepare. They got a great glimpse of what teachers deal with.
