Selcky Coydaiy awoke on Sunday September 10 2008, it was pray day as she called it, the day the whole tribe would pray to the gods, for anything,
an expectant mother would pray for a safe birth of her child,
a small child for a pup or a bicycle,
but Selcky always asked for the same thing, that the whales came safely. It was a month until the " Celebration of the whales" the most important holiday of the whole tribe, as important as Christmas or Halloween.
If the whales came it meant good fortune for the tribe, they mostly came, but if they did not it meant something was going to go terribly wrong.
She seemed to be the only one to notice that the whales had been coming in smaller and smaller groups. It scared her, she loved the whales and some days she felt she would just jump in the water and swim with them,
but her mother and father had said "no".
It was disgraceful for the whales and would anger them.
But oh! How she wanted to!
The whales were so beautiful, she had whale things all over her room, dolls, pictures, book, toys, figurines. Her mom had told her it was a wise choice for a favorite animal.
