(5)It was about ten in the morning, when this happened. Really, already some women who were fetching wood for fire, already many of them had been killed. They were clubbed to death; some were knifed. So then an attack was made. I too climbed the hill. I went over the crest. Really, I saw men marching along the level ground. From the little stream, like a creek, all the way from there, there were nothing but men; and to this side of them the Cree. Like a curtain of smoke looked the smoke from the guns. |

(6)Presently I saw men fleeing. Then it was not to be clearly made out. Very many were killed. The next morning I went there. I saw many men lying in the ravine, where they had been slain. All these had nothing here. One woman who had been taken was brought. One man who had been killed was brought back to the tents. Him we ate. Not that we knew what we were being given to eat; afterwards we were told. |

(7)«Do you know what sort of creature you have been eating? The one who was lying here you have been eating, a piece cut from the back of his thigh. Him you have been eating as fat meat.» |
