his head; Deerskin hide pants and shirt, Nita is 29 years old, born in 1739, at
the age of 10, Nita began hunting, fishing, and training to become a great
warrior.
His father told him to 'never give up if the times get bad'. By the age of 20 Nita

second in command they have known each other since they were kids, they did
everything together,

down each night by the river and tell stories of what they wanted to be
when they grew. Nita is to become chief of the Choctaw. Lions dreams is to be
the best warrior he can be. Nita has gained much experience in the field.
Tree- flower is the daughter of the chief of the creek people up the river, she

Chief seeing-father , at the age of 5 ,tree-flower has become very smart, she
knows how to fix items, at age 15, she becomes quite the seamstress. She can
sew a deer hide in less time than her elders. At age 20 she begs her father to let
her train to become a warrior. Her father forbids her from so, seeing it is too
dangerous, 9 years later tree-flower runs away to a spot on the lake. She has
been going to this spot since she a little girl. She leaves camp to begin the hunt.
."Father i must go out hunting, I will be back soon" says Nita, His father replies
"very well my son, dont be gone all night, we may need you." "i will not be gone
long." His son replies. Tree-Flower has taken a walk to get flowers for a
headdress, she knows the area well, but not after nightfall, but tree-flower
wanders too far from camp to an area not known to her, she stays calm and tries
to remember which way she came ,but cannot and starts to panic. Nita and
running lion are hunting with the tribe ,"see anything yet?" yells nita, "no nothing
yet" replies lion, they walk for a few hours ,killing a bear ,mountain lion and a
couple deer,"this should be enough" says Nita and both men head back to
camp. Then all of a sudden they stumble onto a women in the road; Nita orders
his men to wait where they are, he walks toward the women and asks her name.
the women tells Nita her name is Tree-flower, "i was walking in the forest looking
flowers for a quilt then i got lost" says Tree-flower, "I am from the creek tribe just
up the river, my father must be very worried about tells Tree-flower he
will get her home safely, "thank you, You are very kind" She says to Nita. Nita
tells running lion to lead the others back to the Choctaw camp, lion agrees and
leaves with the others . Nita and Tree-flower begin walking back to the creek
camp, a couple hours have passed and Nita and tree-flower are almost to the
creek people , "wait hold still and keep quiet" says Nita, "how come?" replies
tree-flower. "we are being hunted" replies Nita, Nita tells tree-flower to hide while
he goes and begins looking around but not seeing anything due to the sun
setting, then a vicious mountain lion jumps out of a bush, Nita dodges and arms
himself with his knife, the mountain lion knocks down Nita and attempts to bite
him. Nita knocks the mountian lion, just then the lion spots tree-flower and
begins to run toward her. Nita as fast as he can runs after the lion, the lion
attempts to jump on tree-flower , but Nita knocks him away, then the mountain
then again knocks down Nita, the lion attempts to bite Nita but Nita grabs it and
stabs it in the head killing it, Nita helps tree-flower up, and they continue back to
the camp. Nita and tree-flower finally make it back to the camp, the creek people
see Nita and surround him, tree flower tells them that "he is not ours to fight. He
saved me in the forest from a vicious mountain lion" says tree flower "we even
have the pelt to prove it." The creek people agree and let down their guard, Nita
asks to see tree-flower's father the chief of the creek people, the chief appears
asking where tree-flower was, "I was picking flowers when I got lost," tree flower
tells the chief, "this man saved me and brought me home," the chief looked at
Nita "who are you?" says the chief. "I am Nita of the nearby Choctaw.""thank you
for saving my daughter. you and your tribe are always welcome here," says the
chief, Nita thanks the chief."I am sorry to cut this short but i must return home,
my father
must be worried about me ,I give you this mountain lion pelt as a peace offering"
the chief accepts the next day Nita is sleeping in the tent, Nita's father
asks him where he was last night , and who was that women my men told me
about. "I found her when were out hunting last night, she wandered too far from
her camp." Nita tells his father,"What tribe is she from?" asks Nitas father, "she
is of the nearby creek people up the river ,i saved her from a mountain lion
and got sympathy from her father." "I Know him well" says the chief, "when we
were younger we hunted all the time." That night Nita is by the river looking at

father wish to speak to u about, something important to tell u" , "ok, lets go see
him now ",seeing owl and his mother sit next to Nita, Seeing owl not knowing
what his father may want begins the conversation, "what is the matter father?"
says Seeing owl "my son I wish to speak with u about keeping Wilted dove
safe ,me and your mother wont be around forever" reply's Nita ,"I no father , I
would take a arrow for my sister ,it is my mission to protect her from any harm"
Seeing owl reply's ,"now on to another important task my son" says Nita ,"what

kill a bear that has been terrorizing our friends the creek tribe" says Nita "this
bear has killed a child and needs to be stopped " ,"yes father I will do what u

woods ,"so what does this bear look like?" says Soaring crow, "father tells
me it is black ,large meaning its pretty old ,it has killed a child , "it is our duty to
stop it" says seeing owl "if it were to kill another , then we would have a
homicidal bear on our hands, very dangerous" , "I see , so where do we
begin searching?" reply's soaring crow ,"a lot of bear live up in the hills and
caves , so we should begin there" Seeing owl reply's .Several hours have
passed since the search began but both men haven't seen any bears ,Seeing
owl worries that they may not find it before nightfall, "we have been searching
for hours , maybe the creeks already killed it already" says Soaring crow "so
Seeing owl , how has it been with your parents?" ,"father is worried that my
sister wilted dove wont listen to him ,because she want to be a warrior like us
and father wont allow it" reply's Seeing owl ,"yeah ,your sister has a lot of
courage , but yes I agree with your father" says Soaring crow "I mean I would
train wilted dove as soon as father says it ok ,but he wants me to keep her safe
and out of harms way" reply's Seeing owl ,"my parents were protective of me
when I was little ,but eventually they let me become the warrior I am today ,all
parents are like that" Soaring crow reply's , just then Seeing owl tells his
friend to stop , because a bear lurks about 20 feet from there ,"there it is ,what
shall we do now?" Soaring crow asks, " pull out a arrow and wait my order"
seeing owl reply's, both men pull out a arrow , they aim and fire ,hitting the bear
on the side killing it, both men drag the bear carcass to the Choctaw camp, they
throw It in front of Nita ,"very well done boys" , says Nita "this is the one what
was killing children" ,"thank you father" reply's Seeing owl , "son can u tell ur

daughter , take a seat I must tell u something" reply's Nita,"i have to tell you
how proud I am of you , you do a good job " ,"thank you father, that meant a lot
to me ,I no I have asking u about becoming a warrior ,but brother has told me
that I have the most important job in the tribe" reply's wilted dove, "your brother

Nita, "thank you father" reply's Wilted dove ,Wilted dove hugs her father and
leaves to begin lunch. A couple hours have passed, Soaring crow and Seeing
owl have left to go fishing , "the fishing is not very good today is it?" says
Soaring crow ,"it will get better, just takes time" reply's Seeing owl , (whack) as
Seeing owl throws his spear at a trout ,killing it ,both men now are throwing
there spears constantly because of the school of trout swimming by,"see I told u

Seeing owl , the man puts his bow down ,"can u take me to him?" says the
man ,"yes we are headed back anyway , follow us" reply's seeing owl.
As seeing owl takes the man to his father , "so how is my old friend doing these
days? , I haven't seen him since I left for the west" says the man "he is doing
well , say I haven't got ur name yet "says Seeing owl ,"I am running lion, I was
best friends with ur father when we were young" reply's running lion ,"running

looks around but doesn't see anything , as he looks at soaring crow ,
soaring crow is holding his chest ,then falls down, "soaring crow!" yells seeing
owl, soaring crow has been shot in the stomach by a gun ,"seeing owl you must
find my murderer for me" says soaring crow ,"shh don't talk like that, you will be
ok " says seeing owl ,"tell your father It was a honor to serve him" replies
soaring crow ,"I will ,reply's seeing owl, then at that moment soaring crow dies,
seeing owl drops to his knees and lets out a loud scream. Seeing owl rushes
back to the tribe to tell his father what has happened ,"father!, soaring crow was
murdered!" says seeing owl ,"what? , who did such a thing?" replies Nita ,"I
don't no who did it , I didn't see anyone around ,must of been a sniper" replies
seeing owl ,"ok get all the warriors together , we will go on a search to find the
killer", "yes father, I will get our best warriors" seeing owl reply's ,"running lion ,
