Cornmeal was her main source of nutrition and meat of some kind as her family had the privilege to hunt and fish, so it was easy to get some of her food. She spent a lot of her time with her grandma. At the age of 6 years old she was able to work, but she didn’t. she always got beat and slacked off at this job the couple gave her the duty of checking muskrat traps.
