American Indian The Beginning
American Indian The Beginning
It was the day when the whole family would come to the family Church for a reunion. They came from as far away as Texas and Illinois to Athens Tennessee for this event. The Church had 10 rooms, like motel rooms, for the long travelers to stay in for the occasion. It was a really important time where everyone saved the expense money to make the trip. As many as 200 to 300 members of the family would be there.
I lived nearby and went over to the church early with my Apache grandfather. There was always a meeting of the elders before everyone arrived. Me, well I just liked to go anywhere my grandfather was going and help with whatever he had to do. That day I knew there would be stuff for me to do and I also knew there would be plenty to eat...
