     tonight, ne-ya-ni will dance with her mother and older sisters at the Fall festival. This will be her first performance with the women. She had longed for this day since the first time she had seen her mother dance. each year she asked her mother, "will I dance this year?" each year her mother answered, "Not this year, ne-ya-ni. you are still too young." on Tuesday ne-ya-ni celebrated her twelfth birthday. when she asked the question yet again, her mother said with a smile, "this year you may dance with us!"

     ne-ya-ni pulled on the dress Grandmother we-la-ni had made for her and smoothed it over her body. the bells jingled happily and ne-ya-ni laughed at the sound. only a short trip to the Ceremonial Grounds, and it would be time to dance! how she wished Grandpa Tsa-li could be there, but he had died last year just before the fall Festival. Ne-ya-ni missed the long walks with him through the mountains and their long talks as the sun slipped behind the ridges, but most of all she missed his strong, gentle hands.

     At the Ceremonial Grounds, ne-ya-ni waited with the other women and watched all the people who had come from other places in North carolina to celebrate the fall festival with them. finally, the drummers began and the singers started their rhythmic chanting. Ne-ya-ni joined the other dancers in the circle and began the intricate footwork she knew so well. faster and faster she danced until she could no longer see the other dancers. The bells on her skirt rang out the happiness that filled her heart. then the song was over. the drumbeats slowed, softened and stopped.
