Journal+Entry

The Europeans have begun setting up camp near the river. The people seem strange and do no have much appreciation for the land and what it gives. They take much from the land, and they are not used to the harsh winter like we are. We are the only reason why they are still alive in this new land. They also have strange skin compared to our darker, and I wonder how they must be able to hunt on any level. I feel that the Europeans could be a help, or maybe a hinderence, but most of all I fear for my people. I fear that the newcomers will try to dominate our lands or hurt us, much like bears entering new areas will attack the more native ones for dominance. I just hope that the Creator has sent them for good reason, and that they will prove to be helpful to us and our way of life. They do not seem to be a bother, yet, for they have increased our standard of living, but they are also more advanced than us, and I hope they use their knowledge for good and not to obliterate us. For now, we will continue strengthening our alliance with the white man, and perhaps we may prove our usefulness to them after all. Perhaps the Creator will show the true meaning to their existance and why they are on our lands, and I just hope that we can be vital to eachother's development in our cultures and way of living.


 * good journal entry, you provide an accurate perspective that looks at many elements the people had to take into consideration at the time. Just watch some spelling and awkward wording in some sections**
