Week 1
I was able to start building on the boat. In my mind, I imagined building a big boat. Unfortunately, the space is small and I just built a quick small one. I also built a coastline to make the accurate maps of the coastline. I was also trying to build a campfire but lava and fire was off. I tried improvising by building a fire out of wool.
Week 2
I continued to build the campfire with a hut and clothes line to represent the Iroquois tribe. Outside of the hut, there are weapons the native people used to fight against other tribes. There are also weapons Samuel had given to the natives to fight off their enemies. Next to the hut, I made a small wheat farm of the food they ate. I also made a French flag to represent the country Samuel was from. I built a small shop like building that has two paths to represent trade routes. Inside, there are items the French have traded with the native people.
