 **Hi, my name is Fast Fox, and I am a member of the Wampanoag tribe. I am 12 years old**         **and have a brother called Taqiqu. We have just finished building a wetu at our 20th vist with the Pilgrims. I still remember when they 1st came here...

It was a sunny morning. I was makeing sobaheg. As I was stiring the meat Taqiqu came running to me and said "Fast Fox//,// as I was hunting at the edge of Eagles Cliff, I saw a great canoe coming toward us! It was many times bigger than ours, and strange men were yelling and running around!" I was so startled, I went to see our leader, Massasoit.

As I told him about the canoe and men, he sat and nodded, then he clapped twice and turnd to me. He told me not to worry. He would send men to study the men and possibly speak to them. I smiled and left his wetu.

The next day a counsal of Massasoit, his advisors and warriors met. It was decided that Taqiqu, and Duryni would go to Mound Seasqa and study the men because**       <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif">**it had a good view of the Great Sea.

The next day I decided to vist the new people. Squanto had already talked to them, and he is okay, so they can't be __//too//__ bad. As I walked, I saw very few trees! I knew this was strange, because I had been there only 2 days ago with Sadina, and trees lined the path! As I continued, I saw more strange things! The ducks and turkey that were useley so plentiful in Summer and Autumn were nowhere in sight! The river had little fish, and it always had so many! And strangest of all, thunder boomed through the woods! I was really worried! How would we survive in Winter, if food was scarce now? I had to know what was happening!

A while later I reached the Great Sea. I saw __somthing__ __completly__ different! I could see the great canoe, but where were the men Taqiqu spoke of? As I thought about whether to go down to the coast or not, I __herd__ somthing behind me. I t__urend__ around and there stood a boy, & a girl. They looked very __unusaul__. The girl was w__eareing__ a funny dress & somthing on her head. The boy had on short leggings and a stange shirt. Both wore __wierd__, black __moccsions.__ They were very pale and had spots on their face, blue eyes, and yellow hair. "Hi, I'm Henry, and this is Molly. Would you like a bit of __porrige__?" The boy asked.

I stood for a moment, then recovored my senses, " Um, __what is porrige__? A type of bird?" I asked.

"No! it is a type of food, you eat it!" The girl said.

"Oh, ok!" I replied, "I understand, but I'm not sure I want to eat it, umm, what tribe are you from?"

The boy laughed and said, "Well, we are not from a tribe, we came from England on the Mayflower."

Now they had me really confused. "But how did you come here on a flower?" I asked, "and what is England?"

"Well, its a long story," he muttered.

"I have all the time in the world!" I said.

So he told me the story. Turns out, his Mom and Dad died of something called small pox. Over time, we became good friends But after the winter storms passed, over half the Pilgrims died! Including Govenor William Bradford!

About a year later, Massasoit __gatherd__ us together __an__ said we were going to __vist__ the Pilgrims to celebrate their 1st sucessful harvest! I was so __exited!__ But then, Massasoit said that only 90 people could go. So we stood there while he read __of__ a list of names, the Tuyas, the Daviks, the Nokas, and so on. When he finally said, the Suiyas, I ran to my wetu and packed my favorite dress, beads, jar, and bowl.

The morning of our departure, we __at__ a speedy breakfast, loaded our cargo, and put Brave on the sled. Brave is my puppy, he is a tame wolf. As we __jorneyed__ to the Pilgrim camp I saw a red tailed hawk, 2 black bears, and a herd of deer. After a 2 day journey, we arrived at the Pilgrim camp site.

For 3 days, we traded stories, ate food, played games, danced, and sang! It was so much fun! We feasted on duck, venison, seafood, cabbage, onions, corn, beans, and squash. For dessert, we had berries, fruit, bread & honey, and somthing called cheese with nuts. The kids played blind mans bluff and the pin game. We danced and I chanted to Kiehtan, thanking him for the food, our new friends, and that we were all together!**
