drowning the yams, about the next ancestral feast and about the
impending war with the village of Mbaino. Unoka was never happy

when I had this dream that told me to go to Spokane, to stand by the
Falls in the middle of the city and wait for a sign. I knew I had to go
there but I didn't have a car. Didn't have a license. I was only thirteen.
So I walked all the way, took me all day, and I finally made it to the
Falls. I stood there for an hour waiting. Then your dad came walking
up. What the hell are you doing here? He asked me. I said, Waiting for
a vision. Then your father said, All you're going to get here is mugged.
So he drove me over to Denny's, bought me dinner, and then drove me
home to the reservation. For a long time I was mad because I thought
my dreams had lied to me. But they didn't. Your dad was my vision.
Take care of each other is what my dreams were saying. Take care of
each other."

Read this excerpt from a speech by Frederick Douglass and then
answer the following question.
Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of
the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and
revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and
solemnly binds herself to be false to the future. Standing with God and
the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion, I will, in the name of
humanity, which is outraged, in the name of liberty, which is fettered,
in the name of the Constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded
and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all
the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate
slavery ¶ the great sin and shame of America! "I will not equivocate ¶ I
will not excuse." I will use the severest language I can command, and
yet not one word shall escape me that any man, whose judgment is not
blinded by prejudice, or who is not at heart a slave-holder, shall not
confess to be right and just.

Long ago there were bad times. The Kiowas were hungry and there was

he went out to look for food. He walked four days and became very
weak. On the fourth day he came to a great canyon. Suddenly there
was thunder and lighting. A voice spoke to him and said, "Why are you
following me? What do you want?" The man was afraid. The thing
standing before him had the feet of a deer, and its body was covered
with feathers. The man answered that the Kiowas were hungry. "Take
me with you," the voice said, "and I will give you whatever you want."
From that day, Tai-me has belonged to the Kiowas (36).
