Come in my children...Welcome,here set by the fire and have something to eat...
Oh my children i was looking through some tin plate pictures today and i think you will enjoy seeing them....
Shall we look at them together?
The great father gives us this land to live in,hunt in and to care for.I ask all to tend to the Mother well.
She clothes herself with all the colors that one couls dream of for us to see and enjoy.
Mt Larual,so pretty.To come upon such as this out in the rocks and
cliffts.It brings a smile to this old woman.
The Yuka gives us many things,
It gives us materials to sew with from its needles and thread from its leaves.You can get drops of water from its leaves in the early morning.It can be woven into mats to set upon,clothes to wear,and its long fronds can be used to sheild us from the heat or the rain.Yes my Children there is much that the grangmother yuka gives us.

Our land is high clifts,low scrub land,filled with many animals and plants.it is for you my children to learn how to get along with all of this so that the Great Father smiles on you.

Where ever you go,where ever you look,you will see many wonderous things that the Great father has put before you.It is up to you to care for it or to distroy it.I ask you my children tend what you have and keep it safe for all that will come after you.
