Diary Entry 3
Dearest Diary,
Today was a wonderful and sunny day. In the morning Poloma, Nita, and I didn't have to collect crops because we already had enough. Also because we woke up kind of late and probably wouldn't have enough time to pick that many crops. My mother gave us cornbread and water for breakfast. Then dad said "Bye Isa. Bye Nita. By Poloma. Bye Fala. I am going hunting and I will try very hard to bring home a bear for us to eat for dinner!" We all shouted "Bye" back to him. Then he took his bow and arrows, jumped on his horse and left. My mother started cooking a soup. Nita, Poloma, and I played with our beaded dolls for a little while. Then my father came home and said "Sorry. I didn't catch a bear today but I did get a turkey and two fish." We were all very grateful that my father brought home some food even though he didn't bring home a bear. Then we had lunch. It was soup with berries and hickory milk. After lunch Poloma, Nita and I played outside. It was a lot of fun. Then it was time to eat again. We ate fish, a stew, cornbread, and hickory milk. In the stew was corn, beans, squash, and turkey. It was delicious. After dinner our family played a game and then my father said "I have a surprise for you girls. When I was out hunting, I passed by the chief's home and he told me to give you each a pair of moccasins that he made for you." My father gave Poloma, Nita and I a pair. They were brand new! We told him Thank You! and then he sent us to write our journal of the day. I have had a fun day and tomorrow I will get to wear my brand new moccasins which will be nice.
Sincerely,
Fala
