Lola Hill:
Lola Hill In the days when we were young we didn't know anything. But we used to go out into the tundra to pick greens that we could eat later in the year. We used to walk without piluguks on, only in our barefeet. It was fun going in our barefeet out to the tundra for hunting eggs or anything. Here our land is wet, and we don't step on glass or other things that will cut our feet. Those days when we were young I didn't know anything. But the people who were the same age as me are gone now. We didn't think of anything that was strange in those days, and we had lots of fun. Our mom and our dad told us not to do things that were bad or something would happen to us. As we grew older I began to understand these things that they said would happen. The younger men weren't supposed to drink. Their grandma and grandpa used to warn them not to do this. Also they used to warn me not to eat different kinds of food like some clams down at the beach, and some fishes that might be poisonous and dangerous. My parents used to tell me not to eat other things that were not good like foods that were mixed from the land and the ocean. Well, today the very most important thing is that we use the rule of our life very carefully, because if we don't listen to them they sure will hurt us.
