yesterday

Yesterday I brought my sister berry picking and I was fishing for silvers for about after my second oldest sister Betty went up the hill for black berrys after she got to the hill I caught one silver, fought it for a while, and then it got away, the fish that day kept on doing that to me that day. After I went up to my sister and helped her pick berrys and about fifteen minutes we had a gallon of black berrys to bring home.

After working at Nash Harbor this summer I went to fish camp. i was helping my family catch dog salmon for dryed fish for the winter.
During the spring time I go seal hunting for the meat and oil-blubber. and thats what my ansestors relied on before the qasaqs came around.

summer work


My name is Jonathan Craig David. I am 16 years old. This summer I was working on a boat called North Star. The boat, if your wondering, is called North Star because long before I was born it brought goods to a village called Mekoryuk and Nash Harbor. Mekoryuk is on Nunivak Island which is in south western Alaska. The people on the island are Cup'ig
Alaskan Natives.
I was deck hand on the boat and I love going out on boats. I started working with Nima Corporation. Nima owns the North Star. Even though I was a deck hand I was still hauling stuff to shore at Nash Harbor. What is at Nash during the summer? Well, there's a summer camp called K.U.C. Its a summer science camp that gets college credits for U.A.F. This summer was better than any summers that I have been living.
