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!

Closer to home our Indigenous neighbors, the Quileute Tribe also offered a traditional song. Many knew the song and joined in!
