Mendenhall Glacier, Ketchikan. blueberries

Pictures of Mendenhall Glacier. The last picture is of Ketchikan, AK. Between the buildings is a river which was loaded with salmon. People could rent poles and fish.

We are having a blueberry festival at our school next week - how great is that? Tlingit elders talked my principal into setting up the festival since blueberries are growing wild and blueberries are a traditional food of the Klingit people. Everyone is thinking of lessons involving blueberries, bears, seasons, and how the blueberry was infused into the lives of natives and the people of AK generally. Pretty great idea!
