When I first got to the location of this trip, it was really cold with the wind blowing. Once all the students got on the shuttled to take us the location. Our first stop was an Oak tree that they have estimated to be 1000's years old. The most fascinating fact that we were told was that Oak trees live to up to 500 years old. We were told to give our first reaction when we say the tree. I thought it was great to see this tree. To see this tree grow the way it grows. The branches that grow to the ground. The one thing that I thought was interesting is that you could not tell the tree was there from the road. You would need to go into an area to see the tree. That from the outside all you see is the leaves and not the tree.
Next we headed to area were only the native students could go to learn what their ancestor did and live. When we arrive at the place you can see different area where the students who take part in the camp during summer. They have a home made pond, made huts that at least one night though out the camp they sleep inside them. They have also constructed a sweat lodge that were able to see but could not go in. They even made home clay pots that the students could leave there or can take home with them.
