Native American

This is just a little story I started tell me what you think

Twins : Huyana (Rain) (f) & Agwe (Water) (m)

                         Shasta (Teacher) (F) & Hache hi (wolf) (M)

Setting:

            Arizona in the White Mountains

Between the Little Colorado River & Salt River near Alpine, Arizona

It was a nippy fall day in Arizona near the Colorado and Salt Rivers in the Alpine Mountains, the site was beautiful the tree covered mountains, the trees in the most beautiful shades of red , orange, yellow and green. The two rivers were flowing steadily and quietly you could see fish jumping and hear leaves rustling .There was a huge circular fire pit surrounded by six tepees made of deer skin and rope. There was one area off to the side of the largest tepee there was a circle made from stones that had deer skin cloths on them this was an area for schooling, which on this particular day happens to be empty.
So your asking were are the kids listen carefully, hear the giggling in the woods lets go and see who there. Oh it’s the Chief and the Medicine mans six year old twins, Huyanna & Agew the Chiefs twin girl and boy then there’s Shasta & Hache hi the Medicine mans twin girl and boy, they spend their days off in the woods play hiding and seek. The girls are simply dressed in soft elk skin dresses, the boys are in elk skin breeches with their bow and arrows strapped to their backs. Their pets are standing guard nearby each of the child has a wolf pup as a pet , this helps protect the child when there is no adult present and acts as a companion for the child. 

Huyanna means rain she is the oldest of Chief Alan’s children, she’s is also the most curious and tends to wander, most of the time she’s found in trees watching everyone and everything. Alan’s son Agew means water and he like his sister loves to wonder off a lot her is normally found swimming, he is supposed to take over as Chief one day but he says he’s not that he likes the freedom and wants to be a warrior. Huyanna wants to be the new Chief but is told it’s not her place because she’s a girl, she plans on finding a way around this.

Shasta means teacher she is the oldest of Rohan the Medicine Mans children, she can’t wait to be a mother and a teacher she has a crush on Agew but they are at the age where they believe in cooties and such. Hache hi meaning wolf is Rohan’s son wants to be more then a medicine man he also wants to be one of the best worriers in the tribe. Shasta wants to teach girls to hunt most of the men except her father think this is crazy, her father knows one day soon the girls will need to be able to do what the men do.
