I was given the name Buffalo woman. I am makeing a picture of a buffalo crying and it’s tears are making a riples in the water at it’s feet. The sky is dark blue with black clould for the buffalo’s past was very dark. In the meddle of the sky is alighter blue with gray coulds. To the left the sky in a lighter blue with white coulds and a bright sun. For now it is not so dark for them. For I have camped at one of the buffalo preserve.
SOMEDAY I WILL HAVE A BABY BUFFALO. I have wanted one my whole live.
