Chapter two

Toe-Ta ran around the small village yelling fire,fire! A couple dozen Indian braves ran to the burning tepees and started beating out the raging flames! After a a few minutes which seemed like hours to Little River, and Rain, they fire was finally put out. Exhausted the braves went back to their tepees and slept until early dawn, which would be 4:00. Early the next morning Little River was given a a shark necklace for her attentiveness. Her name was changed to Keen River. Her kausta made her a new dress, and the whole tribe had a ceremony for her renaming. When Keen River turned twelve, which would be in two moons (months), she would be a woman. She would start making clay pots, making dresses, and deer skinning. That night as they went to sleep Keen River dreamed that one day she would be a healer. Would her dream come true? Would her kautsa let her train under the wise herb woman? Only the future held the answers.
