The elders have been ab le to converse in the target languages with 90% of students. Having the students used to talking with elders has been amazing. 100 % of the students had cultural teaching and showed they were able to practice what they were taught. Teachings varied by age and gender. It has been extraodinarily important for Bdote to be able to ensure what we are teaching our youth is proper and correct. We want to be known as the school that teaches our children traditionally. Having elders here to ask questions of has been very important. In addition, two of our elders have been hired by Bdote for the 2017-2018 school year in different capacities. A total of 84 students, 20 full and part time staff and 75 parents were served directly and indirectly.
