These pictures were taken at a fest this feast was to commemorate Josh and Melissa's wedding. Throwing party's can be done for weddings, new baby's or birthdays.
The first picture shows part of the counter that was laiden with food. The counter was full, there was food on the table and many many pots of food on the floor. some of the foods served included: ham, swan, fish strips, salmon, moose, caribou, lasagna, spaghetti, wedding cake, jello, bars, flat bread. Next is a picture of the people waiting outside to get in to eat. The line is very long--the entire community was invited. Inside the house, one long table is set up and people sit down at the table as soon as a person is done eating they move and another person sits down. It took about 2 hours for everyone to eat at this feast.
Kids entertain themselves while waiting for the throwing party to start.
A throwing party is traditionally just women and children, this was called a gussack throwing party and men were also included.

When I posted on this topic from Tunt in my old blog, I was totally unaware of the "human development" element regarding the throw party. A commenter at some point after I published my post clued me in. I was like, duhh.
