Thursday/ title:Blood on the River, chapter 22/ pgs:173-185,min:24
Captain Newport is taking the goods to the Virgina Company for money. The bad thing is that they took almost all the food for the trip since it is winter. They needed food badly so Smith went to trade food but Chief Powhatan declined. All they had to eat was grain but one day they were the Natives there. They didn't have any food but they held a deal from Chief Powhatan. Ether they traded some guns, beads, several swords and copper. Smith had no choice but to agree but he told them he would trade gifts instead of the guns and swords. He had to take them to Chief Powhatan by boat but Smith suspected that it might be a trap. Smith dropped Samuel at Warraskoyack were it was still a friendly tribe. Samuel was to inform the others if it was a trap and if Captain Smith did die. In the tribe Samuel met Kainta. He thought Samuel all the things of his people. They were a really busy tribe, so Samuel tried to help a girl cook but her brother, Kianta, pulled him a way and showed him what men's jobs are. They first went to hunt but Kainta had to show Samuel how to makes a bow, arrows and knives. After they did Samuel was hungry so they wen to the cook pot and used some oyster shells to scoop some soup and they ate some bread. It was like they were rich, they could eat all they needed and there were no rations. When they were hunting Kainta told his mother to make Samuel some moccasins and they even cut his hair, bald on the left and long hair on the right. She used two clam shells to do it, it hurt Samuel but he sucked it up. They both went hunting but Samuel met Namotack, he was the messenger. Samuel looked like he was going to cry but he told Samuel that Smith was okay and that it was a trap but Pocahontas told them to get away. All three of them hunted and each got a rabbit and Samuel killed his first rabbit in one shot. One day Samuel and his new friend were playing a game like football, but then he sees some kids come. It was Richard and the other servants! They told Samuel that Smith told them to go there because rats ate their food so they went to different places to survive. They made fun of Samuel with his hair due and his clothes, the moccasins and the deer skin.
