Cama-i is here

Cama-i means hello in Yupik. It is also the name of the Eskimo dance festival that is held each March here in Bethel. We are very excited about this festival, for several reason including that Jamie dances there tomorrow. This event is a celebration of Yupik culture. I worked admission for a few hours tonight and I couldn't believe how many people came through the door. It seems to be truly local event, loved and attended by the people who live here. I can't wait to go back tomorrow!
