Oki PFS Parents and Caregivers, 

As we come to the end of Aapistsisskitsaato’s (May) and look towards Misamsootaamsta/ Ito’tsisamssootaa (June), we can appreciate that the rainy weather provides a long and much-needed drink for Na’a. Elder Saa'kokoto teaches us to appreciate the rain as Mother Earth transitions from Spring to Summer. Misamsootaamsta/Ito’tsisamssootaa, the month of June, translates to “when the long rains come.” Here is an old video of Saa’kokoto sharing about the upcoming month of June, Ito’tsisamssootaa.
