Bidzills journal entry

                                            Dear Journal,
                  My name is Bidziil. My favorite food is corn. My dad is a farmer, so he grows corn for me. For dinner, we are having deer that I hunted earlier. After dinner, we are going to a ceremony to worship the cycle of ceremony. My dad speaks Mohawk, because that is the language they speak while trading. Well. I have to go.



                                                                                                                                   Later,
                                                                                                                                Bidziil

                   

Why Goats Horns are Curved

One day, a farmer from the haudenosaunee tribe and his goat were picking carrots. The goats horns were super straight. Another farmer came with his goat. The goats automatically started to grunt at each other. The farmers wondered why they were doing this. The farmer kept on moving. So, the other farmer took his goat to see some other goats. He got to another farm and the goats did the same thing, grunt. They came up with an idea to hold a contest. The contest was called, "The Great Goat Wars." This is where goats get locked in a field and fight to stay alive. So, one afternoon, all of the farmers brought their goat. The goats were let in. So, they fought and they fought. At the end, the farmers noticed something. The goats horns were now curved. That is the story of why goats horns are curved.
