I found myself surrounded by reeds following an opening, which looked like a deer path but in water. When the reeds tapered away, a small circular bay…

Insert title here “Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud” a quote by Dashanne Stokes.

technology included bone, horn, antler, ivory, stone, animal skins, and baleen for basketry. Inuit inventions were considered “technological masterpieces” given their available materials.

I have always loved to help people and ASB would allow me to help people during a time that I would generally be selfish with my time. However, the most important…
