There Goes The Neighborhood

I had just returned from the hunting session, today had been a good day, we had shot down a deer and caught three rabbits. But we were only one group of hunters, and the rest of the tribe had caught some good prizes too, we would all be eating good tonight.

I come into the settlement, I notice some strange men talking to the tribe leader. They are wearing strange things, one thing covers their feet all the way from their hips to their ankles. They also don't have toes, instead there is a type of leather covering their feet. They have something on their heads, so it seems that they have a long head. They had pale, white skin, and they spoke in a weird language, but it seemed that our chief understood them and talked back in a strange language too.

These men came everyday, and we traded cotton for some things we had never seen, a thing that covered their heads also covered ours too. We were also wearing what they call "pants". They are warm and I don't get scratches all over my legs. My feet are also protected by the leather material they call "shoes". I can now walk for so much longer, and run without the bottom of my feet hurting. They also give us strange objects that cut people, also they have devices that create fire. We wondered if they were gods.

These white men start to stay in our village, and they teach us their language, bring us "clothes" to put on our backs, and magic artifacts that create light, fire, and that make things seem closer. They are vicious, all they want to eat is meat, they have no consideration for any other living creature, but they keep telling us that there are enough animals to go around.

They speak of a god different from ours, they only have one. I refuse to believe in their beliefs. Our sun and earth gods have given us everything, I refuse to leave them behind, others believe them and join them, bunch of unfaithful weaklings. They also carry "guns" and we have witnessed how easily they can kill, so we are also frightened.
