 * Political Views:**I would vote for Thomas Jefferson, he is a Democratic-Republican and he respects and treat us as an independent government.


 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * Native American Removal-The white men portrayed us as evil savages. We do not kill people for no reason. We are very peaceful people because we are one with the earth. I was devastated when we had to move to northern Mississippi. Fourteen-fifteen people were buried at each stop. I lost basically half of my family this wasn't a happy time for us
 * **Fugitive Slave Act**: I think the slave act is horrible because they are overpowered by the man. I am definately against the fugitive slave act. I know few Native Americans in Georgia that are slave owners. I believe it is horrible. I was told about the book Uncle Tom's Cabin and I was impressed by the text.


 * Favorite Activities and Interests**:I like to make maple sugar, making quilts, husking corn, celerbrating thanksgiving, playing bowl toss,and hide and seek.
