A mob mentality is a dangerous situation, and when itʼs on the na- tional level we should be afraid. It seems that folks who feel threat- ened by social change have entered a distorted reality disconnect. The anger and rage of the Tea Party Republicans is going to be hard for mainline Republicans to control. The TP can be scary because their beliefs have no basis in reality. The TP lives in its own reality. The facts that an expert believes some- thing makes the TPs disbelieve it, and the more facts that support the truth, the more the PTs believe the opposite. They could be trampled by a galloping glacier and still not believe it happened. They insist global warming is a leftist hoax and evolution never happened, sci- ence be damned. They would rather believe Delawareʼs Christine OʼDonnellʼs witch wonkery. (Thanks, Delaware, for showing us that Alaska isnʼt the only state with whackos.) The more the TPs are shown Courtesy of the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum to be wrong, the more they believe they are right.

To the participants of the 2010 Teller Cultural Festival This was the first time that White Mountain was able to send a dance group anywhere in over a hundred years. What a blessing to have participated in this year's event at Teller. Our 'Quyanaq- paq' goes to all who was a part of this experience. First the White Mountain Native Corporation for their financial support. The group that put the Happening in Tellere did an awesome job, the staff at the school was wonderful. We would also like to thank the drummer group who gave us lessons in drumming and participated in our performance.

Dorcas and Peggy from St. Lawrence helped us and gave us that much more confidence in performing that particular dance. The Golovin boys with their offer to help with the drumming, and Bernadette with her ideas was also helpful. This was an experience that we hope to repeat, not once or twice, but often. We look forward to next year's Cultural Event!

Last but not least we wouldn't have made it to Teller without our drivers: Honuck Lincoln, Mike and Joey Simon, Connie and Andy Peterson - Quyanna!
