This quarter Peninsula College Longhouse House of Learning held the first ever Visiting Elders program.
The Tribal Elders met with classes throughout the quarter on subjects of substance abuse, storytelling, Makah language and relationships.
The ending ceremony had a Skokomish dinner song played on a native drum, followed by a meal with the elders and visiting students and staff.
