Kwai Everyone,

July 2020

Welcome to the first issue of the Ko’asek Tribal Tidbits! Here is where I will be sharing all kinds of interesting facts, history, recipes, crafts, and more. Issues will be short but informative/fun. And, if you have something to share, I would love to see it! Today’s quote is from, “365 Days of Walking the Red Road” by Terri Jean

The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last sigh. And the wind must also give our children the spirit of life
