I went to school. Me I went to the mission school, Saint Mary's. But long ago they would say “mission”. And and long ago, it didn’t matter then how old somebody was when they went to school. Here, me, I went to school when I was nine years old. I stayed (waited) because it was far. Here, here they kept me until I was older, I was nine years old, because I could walk walk on the ground [i.e. “I could walk that far”], and ... I walked to arrive at the mission school. There were plenty of things that they taught us at school. They would teach counting, they would teach writing, ABC, and, but there was one thing they taught at the mission school, they called it religion, things about Christianity. My teachers were Sisters, there was Sister Loretta, Sister Fidelis and Sister Irene. And they would wear these clothes that were so so long, that had so so many layers. They would put a cloth on their heads. [pause] eb [pause].
