 Before going on the Twanat Trail, we were provided a very delicious lunch! We had a couple of speakers. The first spoke of being selected to be chairwoman for her tribal council, and also being selected to have a meet & greet with President Obama! I thought that was very cool that she got to speak/visit briefly with him, and also represent her own tribe, and many other tribes (in a way) as well. The next speaker was studying an almost lost language. She had sat down and listened to a couple of her family members seek fluently in the language that is ceasing to exist, she is a linguist. She also works very hard on trying to teach and encourage young children to pick up on the language and become interested in learning.
