An Official Surrender

Narration Told by Willy W Mack Williams

The Indians walked up to William. One of the

Indians said

“We Surrender.” They said. “We go to West. We face

Indians and spoke more Navajo, then the Indians then

left.

As the Indians proceeded to walk away, the

colonists showed no disrespect. When the Indians went

celebration. They were happy that there was not a fight,
