Day Ten: The Pit
Day Ten:
7/16/18
Today in Wellpinit WA, we woke up around 7:30am. We ate breakfast then Warren drove us to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) building where he works. He also introduced us to Brian and Kacie the fish biologist (A.K.A. The fish Doctors), also Kyle and Xavier. We had hit the road to go shock fish at a creek called Little Creek. We were there looking for Red Band trout. I didn’t go and shock fish though. I went to look and collect information on the different forms of life living in this creek. We were able to determine if the water in the creek was clean or not. It was clear that there were much life in the creek and was a good sign already. I was doing this with Pedro and Maria. We had two butterfly like nets. The creek didn’t have a very strong flow so we kind of had to create our own currents. This all took place in Kalispel by the way. The strategy was to put the two nets together as close to the ground and Pedro went a little ways up stream. He kicked rocks to try and get everything through the nets and see what we can catch. We caught a lot of fish. They were small fish that were named Daze Fish. They were cute! Any who, we were able to see a lot of life in such a small creek. After that, we walked back to the cars. It was a really hot day. Ms.Trease and I sat in the car cooling off while rest of the students went to another creek. We were just chilling and talking for about 15-20min, then Mr. Clinton came and said he needed help because everyone had been stung. This was kind of a shock, but at the same time, it was kind of interesting to see that the whole group had been stung.
After all of this walking and finding life, we headed back to powwow grounds and ate some dinner. We had time to sit and do our blogs and wait till Warren came back to take us to the pit. FIRST RULE OF THE PIT: EVERYTHING THAT IS SAID IN THE PIT, STAYS IN THE PIT. The pit was an old style of housing they used to have before the people had Tee-Pees’. This place is for all of us to talk and feel safe. This is all I could say.
