A child steps into the light of the fire. She is known to the council as Ah You Lay Ooh Lay Nah Ee Dah, the lost child. She speaks in a low voice like a very old woman. Her eyes are the color of summer skies. "The time is upon us for the ceremony of the new fire. A Nu Yi, the windy moon approaches. I would suggest 3 activities for the moon of March. !. Decorate A Gourd Event using a new gourd form. Participants will create a gourd in which to carry the ashes from their hearths to The Sacred Mound. There will be no contest and no prizes. All gourds will be displayed and the creator will receive a thank you plaque from The Tsalagi Nation.   2. Building Kituwah Mound. Building of Kituwah mound will be continued on the same page and in the same form as last year's event, but with updated text. All who donate ashes from their hearths will receive a friend of The Tsalagi plaque.   3. The Lighting Of The New Fire Of 2008 A date and time will be set for the actual lighting of the new fire event.All participants will be able to upload the animated fire graphic of the sacred fire of 2008.   I ask the approval of the council of these suggestions."
