"We have come to learn," our delegation to the Sun People say.  

The Stone Hill People

We remembered and sought to learn through that memory.  We came to understand Water Walking, and the pattern, if not the purpose, of the Great Earth Snake.  We were a dig and carry people, who understood how much might change from the moving of small amounts of earth over many seasons' circles.

We may yet be able to rebuild like our Central Place.

We rose and walked East one night, carrying with us what we could, leaving all else behind.

toward the Eastern sea

This People divided into 5 civilizations on their island home, each people excelling in some technical practice, all perfecting the use of sailing on water.  Then one day their priests warned of an impending earthquake and black rain, and the destruction of their Island home.  We have a plan for our escape. We sail one company a year, each choosing their new coastline home. 

We settle in our near island in a great curve of the Oh-Hi-Yo, living well, growing our Three Sisters. Our neighbors wear discs around their neck which reflect a yellow light. We name them Sun People. Our Sun People neighbors invite us to work for them.

They also plant corn, yet do not know beans nor squash.  They invite us to come work for them, growing their corn and carrying their loads, and they will feed, clothe , and protect us.  We hide our laughter at their impertinence, yet choose to send some of us in rota to learn what we can about growing corn and their way of monumental building. We are at it for too long.

We find a way to insert a young learning person and he finds a Sun person friend.  We soon may learn what their history is.

Those of Strong Spirit Eye sought their own learning.  Our great success discourages further learning.
