Living with New Comers

DWS notes:
Its hard to beleive that our governments took away the aboriginal children and put them in schools were most were treated badly. Some
children even died.

Activity: Try to imagine being removed from yourhome and family and sent to liv eina residential school. You are forced to sepak a foriegn language, eat strange food, and pray to a froeign god. You never see your parents.

Write a poem to express how you feel:

DW's Poem -

I feel sad to be away from my parents.
I feel sad to see my friends being treated bad.
I feel hungry, mad, and sad.
I feel scared in this strange place with strange people and sounds.

From Time Immortal - Chapter 8

Trade

Long strait unbroken shells were worth more for trade. They didn't use money they used valuable items like blankets, seal skin, raw materials and rope for trading.

In battle sometimes the shaman would come to aid?

What is the difference between using money and bartering?
Bartering is trading one thing for another and money is paying or buying something.
