As part of their school celebration of Thanksgiving, the kids attended a performance of local Native American song and dance and stories. They came home full of information about a water whistle, the duck dance, a game of hunters "catching" girls to ensure a successful hunt, Mother Earth, "Thunder Beings," and the like. Soon, their drums were out, their costumes on, their wigwams (previously igloos) occupied. And Bud gave a performance. "Behold the singer of love!" he called, singing songs to spread peace and thanks.
