SO-GO-YE-WAT-HA

This reading had some great points and positive insight. I thought that as the missionary left and the indians extended their hands as a sign of parting friendship, the missionary was very quick to judge them and say that there is no friendship between the religion of god and the devil. I think that we need to be more accepting of people and not so quick to judge. I liked it when he said he knows that the great spirit is pleased with their actions, because he blesses them. I also liked that they said that everything came from the great spirit. That when we are hungry, the forest is filled with game, when we are thirsty, we drink at his pure streams. Everything they have and take part in they know it came from the great spirit. It was very interesting to me when so-go-ye-wat-ha said that it doesn't matter the form of worship, but rather how sincere the heart is when you worship. I really enjoyed that when he closed his speech he was very kind to the missionary and said that as we part we hope the great spirit is with you to protect you. Despite what the missionary said or did he was still very kind. I really enjoyed this reading.
