The Ritz

In Bush Alaska all school related visitors sleep in the schools, in the classrooms. They do provide sleeping bags and air mattresses. None of the villages have hotels. Our district flies all employees into the hub in the fall for Inservice training and, young or old, we all sleep on the floor!!

Boy, I thought our Inservices were bad, but nobody makes us sleep on the floor.

[Jane Martin]

How fascinating! Sounds like you live in such an amazing place.

[Joyce]

I expect that can be fun for the odd night but not for long!

[Jennifer]

Not for too long I hope!

[Richard Sayer]

I swear blind that you live on a totally different planet to me, Joan! I love these little cameos of your daily lot.

Interesting information air matresses are great for a good nights sleep.

You lead the most interesting life. I bet it is also very rewarding. Are most of your students considered Native American?

[Milanie]

I've just spent a most enjoyable hour going back through your pictures - such a wonderful tale of life in your part of Alaska - what a beautiful place and interesting change to life in the lower 48.

must be a bit like a school camp.

@moonmtn In my village, Kahsia, 100% of our students are Inupiaq Eskimo, which is considered Native American.
