“We will be ready in three days.”

“Good. I will stay and escort you to my village. Chief Menomonee will be pleased as well surprised.”

“Come Justin; join me in my dwelling for a meal that I may further hear of this message you bring.”

After they finished the evening meal…Red Dawn cleared away the eating utensils while Justin Colt continued where he left off earlier.

“As I tried to tell you, from the east, there are those who volunteered to join in the cause. Willing to educate as well set up a means to teach our tribes, and the slaves. They have a dual cause, and are willing to help us however they can. One way is to instruct us on the laws of this new government as well basic education skills, such as in reading and the speaking of proper English. They will then choose those who have excelled to take back and stand before the courts to show that we are not animals. But men, as they are men; able to learn and conform, living as they live. They feel that it would be wise for the Indian and the Negro to unite. We are, after all, fighting for the same rights, causes and goals…to be noted as human equals; with the same mental abilities and pursuits. Wishing to dwell and care for our families as they wish to do with theirs; it is a noted fact that this is why they fled their land, to come here so that they could be free! So, if we show this…they will understand. The declaration of Independence they wrote said it stood for every man! This is why we must learn to represent ourselves in a way that they cannot dispute! According to their laws, we have rights…in order to know what they are, we must learn. In order to demand them, we must learn. And those who will teach us, are on their way.”

“These men, when can we expect them? And who are they?” Long Bow asked.

“They are Christians, as well as abolitionists. They travel in groups, and then scatter throughout their assigned territories. There are entire families, as well single men.”

“Do you at least have their names, so that when they arrive, we will be sure of who they are?”

“Yes, a few names I have…but there will be more, heading to other locations. The ones coming to our area are two families and four single men. They will play the part of settlers seeking a place to make a home, finding jobs among the plantations if they can. Let me see, I had their names written down and put the paper here in my pouch.”

He reached within searching, “Ah yes, here it is, two families, in which the head of one is an elder of some kind with their religion. And four single men. The two families are the Weston’s and the Johnson’s. The Weston’s are a husband and wife, with an older son, and a young daughter. The elder’s name is Jacob.
