Camp Day 12

 
Pedro C.


We got up this morning a hit the shower at the Coeur d’ Alene community center. We went back to camp had dinner, made lunch and headed to Coeur d’ Alene casino. We had two guest speakers Quanah Matheson and Dave Matheson; father and son. They shared the importance of native peoples intimate relationship to the land and environment. Mother earth gives us everything we need to live and survive and that is why we must protect and care for our planet. They also shared how energy moves and transfers, so in traditional teaching about people being in good place in your heart before pre-pairing foods so that the bad energy does not transfer into it. Todays world is full of apathy, greed and self indulgence. We need to return to a place of simplicity and gratefulness. We need to share our information with others and bring back the old ways to preserve our planet. Culture is law!

Our evening event was a Mammology 101 class by Pedro Chavarria. We reviewed several options of traps. We build a small rodent trap to capture our target using a five gal. bucket, pvc pipe and sticks for a ramp. We used peanut butter, chips, and gummy candy as bate. My team members were Zane and Coalby. We placed our trap in the highest point location we had access too. In the morning we will check our traps.
