Can you imagine me and my village haven to be removed from our eastern homes into the western part of the Mississippi? Well, it was difficult I’m Manu and this is my story. The only things I remember was mama saying was “It’s going to be okay just keep up with me” so I did, We began walking mama had all she could carry of ours on her back and I had my canteen in my hand and my I was trying to assist my with keeping sturdy as well as helping her with the sheep. I was scared besides the fact that I heard gun shots I heard the hunger of my stomach getting the best of me, my canteen was almost empty and mama began to slow down. We tried to keep up with the rest of the tribe but it became difficult, my legs ached and my heart beat fast I think it was time to take a break.  It became the next day, I woke up to the sound of screams almost have of my village was suffering from starvation gladly me and mama had a small portion of deer meat and some bitterroot. I had to keep moving we had to walk a total of 1,200 miles (across nine states) and we almost were having way. I at the end we made it there with 4,000 of us missing they’ve either died of disease or starvation Me and mama and I we glad to make it there  but were praying to  made it throughout winter.  We stared out in our home town of Oklahoma and had to move to the western side of the Mississippi. A far walk but it was worth my life.  A far walk but it was worth my life.
