RR: How would they make their weapons?
Liam: They would put a stick and a stone together and really sharpen them to make spears, and they would make tomahawks from stone.
RR: You know if you were in that tribe, you would learn how to make those weapons and develop your skills every day.
Liam: I know. I would rather do that than go to school.
RR: Wouldn’t you miss your friends?
Liam: No.
