Careful aim

At a popular station at last Thursday's "Cultural Awareness Gathering" at Lake Roosevelt Schools' Greene Field, Austin "Bubba" Garcia pulls back on an arrow aimed at an elk replica target. The event, which is organized every other year by Kim Stanger, integrates various aspects of native American culture, creating several learning experiences for students. This year, the event took up the whole field with some 22 stations ranging from traditional medicine and plants to smoking salmon. - Scott Hunter photo
