Stories with Violet Smith

I know my grab but my grandma used to always tell me stories and she talked about she told me stories about how to put in a garden and she’d go on with when it grows and keep it clean goes and then you dry a lot of it for the fall you know I mean for the winter because in those days sometimes I mean those days you didn’t have stoves you know and I guess so sometimes they have to cook outside and she said and our meat we don’t have no refrigerator so we dry it we try to meet and corn peas mostly all vegetables and meat dear Jeremy then sometimes even ducks rabbits should say and she go on and that’s the way it’s she said you’re gonna live with all this when you do this then you’re gonna have your own your own children one each time so you got to teach them all what I’m telling you teach them that and then they teach your great-grandchildren and so forth you know it’s she said we want them to know all this and it’s good when they go up to sway knowing all this where they can do that and I said yeah I’m I just got to hear all this I said yeah I will live it and we I grew up we known by Shia an article uh it’s that’s where we all lived uh me and my relatives and my mother and well everybody lived on there and the family I guess I should say but anyway she that’s the main thing she always told us was some of the grandchildren she can talk to she said so keep that going and just tell him and showed him she’d show us sometimes how you know it’s done and or tell us how it’s done this way you know and your grandchildren and I always think I don’t know you know some of the children if they’d be interested in doing some of this at the schools you know I know they do you know they did some of that and they do in school whatever if they just start from autumn to you and you know that some of the things they do you know to learn and to go on with their five meter their children so I was really glad to sit there listen to her as she was telling me all this and I’m wanting to she said was um she brought up first I was gonna see him has to do with the girls the girls have different ways of doing things and then it should be around men you know and some of these things have to be done just by yourself or with your sister or your knee how your cousin women end up staying way with the men she said they have to be together to do these things and I don’t know if I really wanna say this but really have Sundance nowadays she said women never got involved with Sundance’s just the men went to Sundance the women stayed back and cooked and got the meals ready for them has taken done with their ceremonial that’s what she told me you know but I know it’s not like that now I don’t think you nobody can put a stop to it you know it just has to keep going to do it that’s the way they wanted to do it so it’s got to be done that way
