Pictures

        This is a picture of a round house from the inside, the houses that the southeastern Natives used for rituals, and ceremonies.

         This is the outside of a roundhouse.

This is a picture of a totem pole that we made that represents the things that the the southeastern natives used. The leaf is there because the southeastern people lived in the forest. the rest is too small to see.

A dark day

Today will be the day that I start my medicine classes! I'll take the long rout around the wall just to make sure that that little crack isn't something that I need to worry about. Well, the wall seems to be fine, and better yet, I'm here at the place where we learn how to make medicines that can help heal the wounded, and the sick. Well, that went well. It will take some getting used to though. What thu! The village is on fire! Even worse! There are Chickasaw warriors all over the place! They must have broken in through the little crack in the wall! Looks like I made that canoe just in time! First though, I need to help fight these enemies. While some people prefer war clubs, or daggers, I prefer a bow, and arrow. I’ve improved a whole lot since my first class. Now i can hit moving targets easily. Now that I have the chance, I just can't do it. I guess that it's time for us to escape in our canoes to across the lake. Here we go! The Chickasaw warriors won't be able to follow us here. They may be able to swim, but they're no math for our canoes. We'll probably need to leave look outs when we sleep, but at least the whole tribe is safe. Bye!

Day 2

Today is a big day just like yesterday. Today is story day! My favorite story is the story of the sun's promise to our tribe. We believe that humans have a connection with spirits. Now with that done it's time to check the protective walls surrounding our village. If there's just a very small crevice an enemy could break in, and raid the village. Or a baby could crawl out. Everything seems fine except for a very small crack forming. We'll deal with that later. Now I have a little bit of free time. I think that I'll play stick ball with my friends. Wheew. A narrow win! Now I should probably work in secret on my canoe. I should get my dog to help me carry my tools to a bush that I keep my canoe in. It should be done by tomorrow, but I shouldn't rush it. All I need to do is check for leaks, and add seats, and make oars. Our people use dogs as pack animals. Here comes my little brother in his little breed cloths, and leggings. He really likes his knew moccasins. We all wear these things. Woman wear rap around skirts, made of deer skin, or woven fiber. Fortunately the winters are mild, and that summers are After all that the day is done, and it's time to move on to a new day.
