Hello Everyone,

We are on Christopher Columbus’ ships now. I am on the ship Pinta. The ship that Christopher is traveling on. I wish I was not on this ship, so I wouldn’t have to see his face! Why would he do this to us? I thought we were his friends, someone he trusts and likes. I guess I was wrong, wrong about every nice thing I have ever said about the Europeans. I was wrong about meeting new people; I should have felt the way Doli felt when they first arrived. I shouldn’t have trusted them and we should have kicked them off of our village. THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT!!!!! I hate him so, so much!

The lives of the Natives have been changed forever. We will have to be slaves for the lazy Europeans who are to stuck up to do their own work! I wish I was back on Moga, gardening, cooking, and playing tip the boat with Doli. I wish we would’ve never stumbled upon that beach that day and saw those ships. I wish I could go back and change everything or magically get tons of gold to please the Europeans. I wish that there was some way out of this mess. I guess I am being kind of negative, but it’s so hard to change your life so drastically so fast. Maybe I will get to slave for a nice European family who likes me and gives me a good pay, hopefully. I guess I will see when I get there, but right now I’m feeling kind of seasick. I’ve got to go.

Jaci
