The Drums of Change
“It seemed that she was always being shown something. You hold it this way, you wear it like this, you use this for that, you put this here, place that there. On and on it went as she was introduced to the strange ways of the white man. Often she felt confused. Frustrated. Many times she wished to say, “It works better like this,” but she never said the words. She wondered if Silver Fox was going through the same difficult initiation.
Though her days were trying and filled with frustrations, Run...ning Fawn was able to muddle her way through, catching on quickly to the new information and experiences that continually presented themselves. She did not need to be shown something twice, but kept a careful eye on the actions and movements of the other girls. She knew they frequently tittered behind their hands at her expense, and though she really didn’t care what they thought of her, the pride of the Blackfoot tribe was at stake.
It was the nights that were the most painful and lonely. Running Fawn did not allow herself to weep after the lights had been put out and the dormitory had finally settled down to soft breathing as others slept.MoreLess
