Skip the meal. It isn't much. Most of the guides seem to be high school or college aged folks.

Alright

(Translated by Google) Very interesting. Very sober speech regarding settler/native relations but I suppose they can't do otherwise. The “legends” supplement is not worth it but the “meal” supplement is nice, as is the medicine wheel or necklace workshop.
