It all started the day after we met the pilgrims and the year was 1620. The day was cold and very foggy outside.The pilgrims and the Wapanoages became very good friends that day. That day we told stories about our lives and what we do for a living. Their stories were very different from ours. Even their houses were different from ours. T heir houses were called, well house  and ours are called wetus. The inside of the pilgrims houses had one bedroom    were everyone had to sleep. The wetus had one room also but    they had a fire pit in the middle of the room and the Pilgrims didn't have a fire pit in their homes.Above that there was a smoke hole and the beds were made out of woven mats and the blankets were made out of animal skin. During the winter the smoke hole can be covered over but the pilgrims cant cover their chimney. The Pilgrims and the W ampanoag became such good friends with each other that they taught each other some of their games that they played like the pin game and B lind Man's Bluff. 1621 was the year of the Harvest Feast of the pilgrims and the wampanoags. That day 90 W ampanoage men and women traveled over to the pilgrims village. It took the W ampanoag 2 or 3 days to get to the P ilgrim's village. The tribe was exhausted from the long journey over to the P ilgrims village. The days we traveled weren't the best days of our lives. T he days we started traveling it started to rain and it almost cleared up but it started to rain even harder than it ever was. We decided to stay there and celebrate the H arvest Feast with the pilgrims.Once I took a glance at their village I was amazed by what was there. There were houses, shops, and a lot more than that. Their village was very different from ours. That day our troop leader, Massoiet , finally got to meet the pilgrims. He told me that he felt akward talking to them because of the way they talked. I was very shocked that he told me that because he never tells me stuff like that I think he mistakened me for his wife because he usually tells her that kind of stuff and not one of his trib people. It was very strange for me, when he was talking to me I just looked at him and said,' ah ok.' We were there for at least a week. That week we had a harvest feast were everyone there told everyone what they were thankful for and later on the children played games with each other. My daughter Nosey Nelly met a little pilgrim girl and her name is Polly. I even met Polly's mom, her name is Nacy. Nacy is a very nice woman. She is very kind, careing, and she is not self fish at all but from my understanding her intire group of pilgrims love her because she is so nice. During the feast the intire trib asked me to make my squashy soup. We also ate something that we like to call the three sisters, the three sisters are corn,squash,and beans. We also enjoyed seafood, cabbage, onions, corn, and squash at the feast. After the feast was over I met alot of the pilgrims that where there at the feast. I met a woman named Susie she was very kind when we were talking she told me about their trip here. She said, ' we had a very harsh time during that journey and that half of the pilgrims died during it and my son Jermey was one of those who died during the trip.' I felt very bad about her sons death on their way over here. I also met a man named Tom he was a very nice gentalmen. He told me about his journey over here. He said,' I was one of the ones who had to empty out the chamber pots.' Then I asked ,What is a chamber pot? Then he said,' That it was our toilet on the way over here. Oh. I said with a very discused look on my face. After I talked to him I went over and talked to Massoite about all the things the Pilgrim men and women told me about their journey over here. So I told him the intire story about what the Pilgrims had said and he even asked what a chamber pot was and when I told him that it was their toilet well lets just say he was very shocked that Tom had told me that. The day had ended and it was a very fun day for all the Wampanoag children and the Wampanoag men and women. Even Massoite did alot of partying at the feast his wife Tuya told me. She also told me that they had a great time at the harvest feast. I told her that we had a great time also. One week after the Harvest feast our tribe packed up our things and started to head back to our own village so we could get our homes ready for the winter. It took us about two and a half days to get back to our village. The days were worse than what they were going back home than it was going to the Pilgrims village. It started to rain and the second day it started to hail and man was it coming down. The day we got back to the village we started to store the food in our wetus so that we are prepared for the winter. We also had to get our wetus ready for the winter. We had to cover the wetu with bark so it will stay warmer during the winter.After we are done getting our wetus ready for the winter we need to start making our blankets so we aren't so cold at night time. The day finally came for winter to start, but winter didn't come. Instead it stayed summer for a hole other month.It was very strange for us because we are so use to having winter at this time. The next day I went outside to go catch some fish for us to eat during the winter time so that we wouldn't starve to death. The month was December when winter finally started. This winter was worse than last year there were snowstorms from left to right it was just horrible.
