ANIKWA

Kwaahkwa

teases me: I heard you had

a fight with your friend James this afternoon.

Three men saw the whole thing and

now they’re telling everyone

that I’m a better

fisherman

than fighter. I wasn’t

trying to win a fight, I say. I was trying

to make him see that I’m no thief! Grandma looks up

from the deerskin she’s scraping. I thought all the children

over there went to Piqua with their mothers, she says. But if James

and the baby and their mother are still here—we have to find out

if they’re still in their house. It’s right inside the stockade.

Mink and Rain Bird both look worried. Why?

It’s easier to burn down houses of people

you don’t know, says Rain Bird.

That’s how I figure out

what’s going on:

someone is planning

to set the stockade on fire! When?

What if they burn down James’s house?

Is anyone thinking of a way

to warn them?
