Hi
My life has been destroyed in many ways since the day we first heard about Francisco de Almedia claiming our land for portugal. Many live were ruined and lost because of the war. Our Cheif and many men were killed, my father and brother returned home safely, but however John and many more men did not. They were captured and are now being used as a slave, to help Fancisco de Almeida build his colony.
There is no way our village will survive without our Cheif. He made all of our decisions and gave us direction for our village. This is the worst thing that could have happen to our village and our people. We have been taking from our homes, lost our loved ones, and are being forced to live a new way of life.
The men that returned from war took their families and little belongings and left the village. I no longer know what to do. I need to speak with John, Should I go with them? or Should I stay?
I talked to my Dad, and I have decided to stay here with them. I will help them move our village, and try to start a new life. I know it will be hard, but I need to try and move on.
