Woman Joyce Speak Nice

Wise-woman Le say "Me help!" for many far-away-people. They say big Land-Keepers put them in cage wrong during "Big-Catch-Hunt" in Cold-Lake-Village. Many 'Me-sad!' papers pile high. Wise-woman Le see many cries, many fears. She say "No good! Me talk for them!" Two-suns-ago, Wise-woman Le go to Big-Talk-Cave. She stand tall, speak strong words to big Land-Keepers. She make them listen, make them understand why Big-Catch-Hunt was not fair for many. She speak for all far-away-people held-bad, for all who cannot speak big words for self. **Eyewitnesses:** Grog, a grimy trapper from Muddy-River-Clan: "Me see many people pushed by big guards! Some cry, some scared. Me think, 'They just look for new hunting ground, why cage them?'" Lurka, a quiet berry gatherer: "Me see Wise-woman Le walk to Big-Talk-Cave. Her face look strong. Many sad faces watch her. Me hope she bring sun to dark cave." **Local Caveperson Official:** Chief Brok, Speaker of Tribe-Rock Council: "Tribe rules must be fair for all. If Land-Keepers make mistake, Wise-woman Le must show. We listen to truth, even if it hurts." Story by Thunk from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
