Arrivals...There Goes The Neighborhood

There has been great talk traveling around the tribe about these new white men here to take over our land and people. They have only just landed, but it seems like they had traveled to our living quarters on big wooden machines that float on the water. Many of us believe that they were sent here from the heavens because of their seemingly magical appearance into our lives. Some others don't quite have the same views and are insistent on the fact that these people have set goals on destroying our way of life. I personally don't think I have experienced enough interaction with their people to quite yet make a certain judgment on their true intentions, but I can sense that them entering in on our world, one we've known our entire lives, won't result to be an honest blessing. The moment they stepped onto our land, everyone in our tribe saw these people as strange white beings. They spoke in a language completely foreign to anything we have ever heard before, leading to communication between the two groups only possible through excessive hand gestures and signing. Ones of the tribe that have physically met and spent time with these new people have exposed news that they have attempted to inform us of a ridiculous god by, I believe, the name of Jesus. All of us that caught ear of these words caused us to become somewhat bewildered, while another part of us were intrigued by the idea. Although they have only begun to approach our lifestyle, changes are already quickly influencing the lives of both groups, and I can easily announce that none of us enjoy this abrupt change.
