An Indigenous People’s Day Assembly was held Monday, October 10 at the Forks Elementary School Gym. Students enjoyed some thunderous group drumming, dancing, and singing by Ce Atl Tonalli a traditional Aztec Dance group.
Closer to home our Indigenous neighbors, the Quileute Tribe also offered a traditional song. Many knew the song and joined in!

Matthew Holshouser, Forks Elementary Principal, invited the Forks Forum to come to experience the Indigenous People’s Day Assembly last week. Last year the students were able to watch via a video feed on YouTube, but this year they were treated to an in-person experience.

At one exciting point, everyone got up to dance! Or mostly jump in place. It was fun!
