Dear Mom,
Hello Mom I am on my way back from Alaska and I have changed now. I know my dad beat me because his mom and dad beat him. When I was on the island I built my cabin because I burnt the old one down because I was mad when I got here. I go and sit in the pond and then I take my ancestor rock up a big hill and then roll it down because that is my anger. Then I walk back to the camp site and cut wood and cook and clean and carve in my totem pole.
Peter came to the island too. It took him a long time to get him to trust me. But when he started to he came to the pond and he went up the hill with me. Now we are good friends. We seen the spirit bear and Peter is going to show me how to carve better. I change I am not angry I am happy now.
I love you and see you when I get there. I have to stay here for a couple more days good bye mom.
Sincerely your son.
