The place-the Piscataway Indian village of
Secota.
Chief Lone Arrow awakened with start
There was decided chill in the air of the tightly
closed tepee. The fire in the middle of the floor
had burned itself out during the night. He would
get up quickly and build fresh fire so that the
tepee would be warm when his wife, Corn Flower,
awakened
There were few glowing embers in the
bottom of the fire pit From the corner of the
tepee Chief Lone Arrow brought brown leaves
and small sticks, and it was not long before

laid on some larger hardwood pieces. Now the
hut would be warm for Corn Flower and the
baby, asleep on his cradleboard

lived at Secota. There were IT'S warriors 90
women, the rest children of varying ages The
hundred years and its population had changed
little.
What with the frost in the air that fine Oc-

awakened with unusual show of activity The
wild horses tethered within the log palisades were
clamorng to be fed small nondescrpt dogs sour
ried to and fro their neverending quest for
food-out on the river there were already four

to have couple of tasty bass for breakfast
There'd be bass alright that was certain, if the
bone fshook just didn't break with the weight

Already, in front of the tent the women were
busy with mortar and pestle grinding the gold

a-plenty for the long, rigorous winter which lay
ahead, and here, too was stored the dried veni-
son--the labors of the long, hot summer months;
here also were squash and pumpkin, beans and
sunflowers; long strings of aromatic tobacco
hung from wall to wall Here were many dried
wild fruits-berres persmmons and pawpaws.
Acorn, shellbark and walnut nuts Uttered the
floor. The Indian would certainly not starve
this winter
No one had to go to job at Secota But
there was work a-plenty to be DONE At three
measured distances within the camp sat the arrow
and tool makers, busy with their bone Taking
tools and hard discoidal stones Many arrows
had been lost on the last hunting trip upriver
and many stone axes had been duled and broken
telling trees and digging out canoes. 1t was a
long and laborious job requiring much skill and
patience, but to the Indian it was the essence
of life.
No one needed to be told what to do at
Secota. There had been the gobbling of turkeys
heard the day before in the deep woods to the
South-across the river the swamps were literally
alive with wild ducks and geese, feeding and
resting during their migrant journey southwark
huge herd of deer had been sighted on the
island upriver. Almost silently dugout canoes
snalked across the river carrying the hunters of
the Enthusiastically were the moccasin feet of
the Indian as with drawn bow he approached the
roosting place of the lordly turkey Silently sped
the arrow. There was only crunch when it hit
Chief Lone Arrow didn't go far from camp
that day. Chief Lone Arrow was getting to be
an old, old man. He had seen many moons. He
had been warrior and hunter. He had fought
the fierce Susquehannochs without too much
success. He had brought finally in desperation,
his little band up this broad beautiful river where
they could live at peace. 1t the thing dearest
to his heart.
Chief Lone Arrow sighed contentedly The
day was almost over. The gold red sun trimmed
the Potomac River water westward 1t had been
a good day
