The School District Potlatch is an event that was created by Rena Francis in 1997. After some racial tension between the Native students with both other students and teachers, it was thought that this would be a way for the teachers to begin to share a better understanding of the Native youth. Pictured here are Melaine Wheeler, Luana Arawkawa, and Juanita Edwards at a School District Potlatch in 2006.
