My name is Liam

Like most people my age I live with my family but unlike most people, I am a Native American. I am a member of the Tunica tribe. We live in the forest, in the southeast, in thached houses. Here come some of the French. They visit here a lot since we established a trading with them. Unlike most natives we are allies, or friends with the French, and that has gotten us in trouble multiple times. Today is a big day for me. This is the day that I start my training to become a hunter, as well as a gardener. During this all of the other kids will learn the arts of being a great gardener, and how to shoot an arrow with almost a perfect aim. My mom just called me, it's time for breakfast. Ah, my favorite, some cornbread with nuts pushed into the center with fruit on the side. All it needs is a few mushrooms, and it'll be perfect! With that down I think I'll take a little nap... Alright, I am pumped! But all the same, I have to be serene as to not scare away the wildlife. Here I go! Off to my first hunting lesson. Man this is harder than I thought! Just pulling back the bow string takes a whole lot of strength! Oh well, I will get stronger, and soon be able to shoot an arrow! My dad always likes it when I'm determined like that. Well, it looks like it's time for lunch already! Good thing too, I'm famished! I hope we get a little venison, but some bear would be great! Well, looks like a compromise, rabbit, it is very delectable. It's a good thing that we use all of the meat, or even kids would need to go hunting! Oh well, at least there would be vegetables! Now I should go help in the garden with my mom. Thank goodness for that! If I couldn't do that I'd become restless to the maximum! Gardening is easier than hunting by a mile, but it takes more patients, and stamina. Dad just got home, and he says that there will be a surprise at dinner. Finally, dinner time at last! Wow! A feast for the whole tribe! Look at all of the fish, venison, rabbit, turkey, ant there's even bear! Fruit, nuts, corn, beans, squash, mushrooms, cornbread, hominy, soup, persimmon bread! I'll go to sleep a very happy person, and also I'll be gorged on all of my favorite foods. What a day!
