Have you heard my dearest diary?
Ma and Pa went hunting, and the first arrow they shot, they got it! A large buffalo for us to have for dinner, and for Pa to have more tools for hunting. I am thinking of cooking a buffalo squash stew with a side of corn ears. Leotie just came from beadwork. She is working on a pair of beaded moccasins, and a beaded necklace. I am very curious on who the moccasins and necklace is for, and when she is going finish. She says she would like to become a professional beadworker.
Tomorrow, Pa is going out to battle the other tribes. I very much dislike it when he does this because he risks his life for fun! I asked him why he does this, and he said he enjoyed playing around sometimes. I think it is too many times to play around. It makes no sense to me. I don't want to lose him. Even though he is good at things, it does not make me feel safe. Without him, there wouldn't be as good hunting. If only I had an older brother, not sister.
Just a while ago, my best friend, Lomasi came to my tipi to help me harvest the crops I planted. We harvested corn, squash, potatoes, and beans. We also picked a half of a basket full of nuts. We harvested corn more than anything else. There was quite a few things that the rabbits got into. I wish there was something to prevent the little pests from getting into the crops, and other things they could get into.
Ma and Pa just came in with the buffalo that I will be needing to cook. I am off to make supper for the entire family unfortunately. The supper will most likely take longer than I expect, now that I see it is getting dark so I should make this my last sentence.
Goodnight my dearest diary.
Yours truly,
Aponi
