Extended description

A children's short story giving a glimpse of family life in an American Indian village in the 19th Century.
Unlike today the people who lived on the Great Plains of North America in the time of this story couldn’t pop into a shop to buy their clothes. They made them from the hides of animals that roamed the great grasslands, including the tatanka (ta-tank-a) (buffalo).
Morning Star had watched her mother make clothes and blankets from many hides. She had helped many times and now she was making her first blanket all on her own. It was to be a present for her father when he returned from his hunting trip. Morning Star worked very hard and wanted it to be perfect. But not everything was going according to plan, especially when her pest of a brother, Hopping Bird, and a muddy camp dog were around.
"It’s ruined," sobbed Morning Star, looking at the hide.

I might use this to read to the schoolchildren who visit our tipi, nice simple wee tale.
