Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 7:51:25 PM)

*she was not smiling, she was remembering, and it made her sad

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:30:01 PM)

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:33:57 PM)
*Dasan placed the book down*bath time for me?

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:34:25 PM)
*Kele got up and moved into the conjouring bathroom that was only entering through there bedroom.. and she turned the water in the tub*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:36:42 PM)
*she moved over with the girls and sat with them, catching their attention, using some carved figurines to tell them a coyote story

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:39:12 PM)
*The girls watched her with the carved figures and seemed quite excited about her telling the story.. They squirmed a bit and payed rapt attension to talas tale..*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:41:31 PM)
"There was a boy named Hears the Forest, when he was born the whole tribe rejioced.

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:43:01 PM)
*She continued the tale, drawing them into the anger of the child, the frustration of being born one thing but wanting to be more. She could almost feel it from Dasan*

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:44:53 PM)
*they listened to her.. Tilting there heads to the side.. the water was runnin in the bathroom and dasan was getting undressed in the bathroom to take his bath as kele set boats up for him*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:46:07 PM)
*The story continued, the young man now, rebelled against his birth right and followed the warriors, but became lost because of a trick the shaman asked Coyote to play on him. The boy refused the animal spirits that would help him, moving blindly through the forests

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:47:50 PM)
*the girls listened to talas story.. Maka went to ask a question but mapiya shook her head no.. And then looked back at tala.. as if silently telling her sister not to interupt the story*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:51:12 PM)
"The forests did not look, or smell the same, the boy became confused, still he wandered angry for some time." The turning point of the story the boy had gotten all of his food stolen by a fox, he spent three miserable nights in a hallow tree with rain seeping through everywhere. His bow had broken when he had gotten angry and even the arrows were suffering from his mistreatment

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:52:14 PM)
*they listened but didnt understand why the boy was being punished*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:54:20 PM)
*The story turned again, he started listening, not just hearing what the spirits were trying to tell him. All along they had been there, doing what they could to help him, if he had only listened

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 8:56:56 PM)
*Maka listened as well as mapiya and there was some lil laughs comming from the bathroom now and some splashing sounds.. And keles voice could be heard laughing softly as she said*u sunk my battle ship!

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:58:07 PM)
"The boy came back, willing to take on his role in life. The Shaman told him there were many kinds of warrior.

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 8:58:44 PM)
"In the end, the punnishment was not really a punnishment, except when the fox spirit became angry, he was given a new name after the forest "Listens with his Heart"

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:01:16 PM)
Why was the boy a different kind of warrior?

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:01:26 PM)
*Mapiya?*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:01:52 PM)
"Are Ciqala and Wasabe the same kind of warrior?

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:02:56 PM)
*They nodded there heads* yes

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:03:44 PM)
"Really? So your father, he fights exactly the same way Ciqala fights? They must both be very strong

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:04:51 PM)
*they looked at each other then back at tala*~Mapiya~no one fights the same way.. But they are both of the same tribe the same nation and they fight side by side against the same enemies that makes them the same kind of warrior doesent it?

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:06:41 PM)
"no, not really, they live with different moons calling to them. Their warrior kind is different

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:07:51 PM)
*They seemed to understand what she ment now*~mapiya~Ohhhhh Yeah we were all born together.. me maka and dasan we are triplettes, but dasan does not look like us.. mom says we shared the same egg and dasan had his own egg..

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:08:14 PM)
"Yes, they are warriors, yes they came from the same tribe and nation, but their moon calls them different. Just like the boy that was shaman. He was a spirit warrior, more than a full moon would be

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:11:32 PM)
*They seemed to understand and maka responded* We are singing moons

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:13:13 PM)
~maka~I want to play the drums.. ~mapiya~I like to do the tribal dances at the celbrations..

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:16:07 PM)
"Those are both good things to do

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:16:32 PM)
*She frowned a little, hearing a truck and door*

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:17:22 PM)
*The little girls looked outside when they heard a truck and doors being shut*

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:17:42 PM)

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:20:37 PM)
*Mapiya moved away from the window.. And maka frowned a bit as both girls moved away from the window and towards tala whom had pulled the chair against the door. the girls moved to sit by tala while there mother was in the bathroom with dasan*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:22:32 PM)
"what is it?"

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:23:27 PM)

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:29:42 PM)
"that is okay.

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:30:11 PM)
"If you want a hug, I don't mind

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:32:49 PM)
*Maka gave Tala a hug, cause maka liked hugs and affection.. But mapiya alltthough it was apparent she liked tala she did not move in for a hug.. She in fact looked towards the window hearing the guitar music.. Though she didnt physicaly move towards the window she stayed beside tala on the other side of her sister*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:33:45 PM)
*She gave Maka a hug and smiled at Mapiya, not moving anywhere*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:36:02 PM)
"When your mother comes back, I will go downstairs and find out what is going on okay?

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:36:11 PM)
~Soon kele came out the bathroom with dasan who was dressed in his pajamas his hair was some what dried with a towel as it hung into his face.. Then moved towards the book he had left behind.*

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:36:26 PM)
*Mapiya looked at tala*do you have to leave?

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:39:30 PM)
"when you take your bath, I will go see what they want. You will be safe here

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:41:16 PM)
*Mapiya frowned a bit but gave tala a nod of her head.. Kele motioned the girls into the bathroom.. maka darted off for the bathroom but mapiya kind of went reluctantly not seeming to want tala to leave.. *

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:41:25 PM)
*Leaving tala in the room with dasan*

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 9:42:08 PM)
*she grinned at the boy* "Is it off to bed then?

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 9:43:38 PM)

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 10:15:52 PM)
*she carefully entered the room and closed it* Star has invited everyone to come down for carrot cake

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:17:49 PM)
*the girls where now dressed for bed.. no one jumped up at the invitation of carrot cake.. Dasan was still holding the book, and kele looked at tala* The children are ready for bed.. I was about to read them a story..

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 10:20:24 PM)
*She smiled* I know, but I had to be polite and ask for her

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 10:21:00 PM)
*she had a seat in the chair again, she wanted to hear the story

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:21:31 PM)
*Kele took the book from dasan.. Then opened it up.. She sat on her own bed watching them..*

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:26:13 PM)
*Her voice began to speak the story with such wisdom it was as if one was listening to it by the first one whom spoke it..* Long ago when the world was young an old Lakota spiritual leader was on a high mountain and had a vision. In this vision, Iktomi, the great trickster and teacher of wisdom, appeared in the form of a spider. Iktomi the spider picked up the elder's willow hoop which had feathers, horsehair, beads and offerings on it, and began to spin a web. He spoke to the elder about the cycles of life; how we begin our lives as infants, move on through childhood and onto adulthood. Finally, we go to the old age where we must be taken care of as infants, completing the cycle. "But," Iktomi said as he continued to spin his web, "in each time of life there are many forces; some good and some bad. If you listen to the good forces, they will steer you in the right direction. But, if you listen to the bad forces, they'll steer you in the wrong direction, and may hurt you. So these forces can help or can inter

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:26:27 PM)
So these forces can help or can interfere with the harmony of Nature."

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:30:45 PM)
*The children where listening but dalton was having trouble keeping his eyes open..* While the spider spoke, he continued to weave his web. When Iktomi finished speaking, he gave the elder the web and said, "the web is a perfect circle with a hole in the center. Use the web to help your people reach their goals, make good use of their ideas, dreams and visions. If you believe in the Great Spirit, the web will catch your good ideas and the bad ones will go through the hole."

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:32:06 PM)
The elder passed on his vision to the people, and now many Native Americans hang a dream catcher above their beds.. *motions to the dream catchers above the beds in the room* to sift their dreams and visions. The good is captured in the web of life and carried with the people, but the evil in their dreams drops through the hole in the center of the web and are no longer a part of their lives.

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:32:54 PM)
*Dasan was allready asleep and the girls where drifting off at the end of the tale snuggled under there blankets in there beds watching the shadows of the light from the window dance along the walls *

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 10:36:56 PM)
*She smiled at the children, feeling warmth towards them

Tala Pumuya (Nov 14, 2010 10:37:21 PM)
"They are beautiful"

Kele Nigig (Nov 14, 2010 10:39:51 PM)
*Kele looked at tala*thank you, they are truly such a blessing.. Ya know being a mother is sooo fufilling, having such love from my husband and having the joy of the children.. All of it is just amazing...
