Diary of Nita


   Today I am finally making a totem pole with my dad. He has all the materials we need like wood, bone, paint and other stuff. I am so excited. I was thinking about what faces I should put on there. I was thinking maybe a big bald eagle on top and a deer head on the bottom. The picture on top is the picture most important to you. The picture on the bottom is the picture you don't really care about. This is going to be really fun. When my dad and I are finish carving and painting the totem pole we are putting it in front of our roundhouse. All my friends have one. There totem poles are about 100ft tall. Our family's totem pole is going to be at least 120ft tall. I want it to be like 500ft tall but that will never happen because we need to trade something for more paint. I love it when we trade things. The only problem is I am not a loud to go because I have to take care if the house with mama. My brother always go with papa trading because papa says "He is becoming a young man". While the the men are going trading and hunting buffalo, the women are cleaning the house, gardening and do what women do best make clothes.  It is time for me to start carving. Write more later.
