| Did you hear that after 11,000 years on this land we have to move? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes and I am afraid. I am worried we will not have the soil to plant our squash and maize. Or berries for pies. | |

| Should the men take thier bows and blow guns to hunt or canoes to fish? Will there be fish to catch? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| I hope we have gourds for our art and clay for our pottery. How will me make our Tear Dresses? | |
