Chapter 7 BNW

Starts off with lenina and Bernard at the reservation. They go to visit a city, that is on a big mesa once they go toward it they have to climb up a ladder. They start hearing drums. They see Indians as they call it in the book. Who are African Americans painted white. They are seen running around, carrying snakes. It's a ceremony. Lenina is disgusted by how dirty they are and how different they are. An old guy comes to lenina and she is horrified, she has never seen an old person because where she's from they don't let there age show. In the ceremony they sacrificed an 18 year old boy by walking with the shakes and whipping him. To please PO Kong and Jesus. The sacrifice is souppse to help bring rain and grow corn well. Later on lenina and Bernard find Linda who thought she was dead but was discovered by villagers.
