Turtle's Funeral


I spent the afternoon today, making Turtle's headstone, and digging a hole for his grave. After I was done with that, I put his body in the ground, and covered it with ash, and the blanket I made him when he was little that had his name stitched into it.

After putting vines and food around him, I called my mother out to let her see the grave, and then she requested to put the dirt in. First, however, we said a prayer over the spot, and then covered him, and lined the grave with rocks.
