(2)Very rich was the way of living, the Indian's way of living. It was good. The people were numerous; there were many women and many children. They were not much subject to sickness; rarely did these Indians fall ill. The land was very good. They always hunted with arrows; they killed buffalo. The Indians prized them as a source of food, and the women prepared rawhide and leather and meats, cutting the meat, drying it, chopping it fine, making pemmican, and preparing fat, which looked just like butter, and making fat from the bones. |
