Chapter Six

Eliza had settled into her new life and still pinched herself every morning to ensure that it was all real. She had grown to love the wild and rugged landscape around her, enjoyed the mix of races, languages and types of people that came in and out of the town at all times and was building great friendships with the sorts of people that would have been kept completely from her sight in Boston. She saw her father blooming in this new world too. His congregation was growing and was as diverse as the town itself. He was much loved and respected here as a man of God and as a good man. His opinion was often sought by the new town council and he was often called upon to mediate between disputes over claims and other issues.

Twice a week she would take the buggy out to her class on the reservation, collecting Emmeline along the way. They would chatter and laugh, and they created a school that catered for everyone’s needs together. They both enjoyed the chance the school gave them to learn the beautiful language and customs of this ancient nation. Eliza in particular loved the stories that Amitola would tell the children, and would become almost as caught up in the magic of them as they were. She taught them English, how to read and write and all about manners and politeness. She did not teach them about the Bible, but did read them stories from the small selection of books her father had brought with them, having consulted the oracle of the Sunday School Library Catalogue of the Boston Church of the Redeemer.
