Indroduction:
Hi my name is Sayanta. I come from the village of Matalan. I speak Tamyen, a language of the Ohlone Native Americans. I am a very busy girl. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is fetch water from the stream and fill the water basket in our tule hut. My parents tell me I was born nine seasons (years) ago. I will show you how to make clothes in the Ohlone style.
