13833	Can you tell how many days you have travelled?

13833	Father,said Kut- o- yis ´,"have you no arrows?"
13833	Have you no food better than this to give to a visitor? 13833 Here is a camp with plenty of fat meat and back fat hanging up to dry; why do you not give me some of that?"
13833	How is this, grandmothers?
13833	Oh, why did you come?
13833	Well, now,they replied;"we have those animals, how are we to kill them?"
13833	Well,asked the old woman,"for whom are you mourning?"
13833	Well,said the young man,"where is your piskun-- where do you kill buffalo?"
13833	What are you picking up?

13833	After a time they asked him,"What are we to eat?"
13833	After they had eaten and smoked the chief said,"What is your opinion, friend Wolf?
13833	Again the Sun spoke, and asked,"What are you doing with my leggings?"
13833	As they were standing there looking at the water as it flowed by, the woman asked Old Man, saying,"How is it; shall we live always?
13833	Could he kill him and get away?
13833	Dare you enter there?"
13833	Did you, when you came out of the lodge, see there in the water another lodge painted with yellow buffalo?
13833	He said to his comrade,"Friend, do you not see something down there where the water goes around?"
13833	He said,"You fool, why did you not wake me?"
13833	He went to some of the people who were still alive, and said to them,"How is it that you people do nothing to these animals that are killing you?"
13833	In what direction shall I go to find a camp?"
13833	Is it still there?"
13833	Kut- o- yis ´ spoke to one of the people who was alive and asked,"What is that hanging down above us?"
13833	Of all the fliers, of all the birds, what one is so smart as the raven?
13833	One day Napi untied the bird and told it to take its right shape, and then said,"Why have you tried to fool Napi?
13833	One day the meat was all gone, and the Sun said,"Well, Old Man, what do you say if we go out and kill some deer?"
13833	Pretty soon his nose snored, and Old Man woke up and said,"What is it?"
13833	Shall we give our new friend a present?"
13833	She spoke to Scarface kindly and gave him food to eat, and when he had eaten she asked,"Why have you come so far from your people?"
13833	Some one close to him said,"What is it, my brother?"
13833	Some young men ran up to the person and said to him,"Why have you sat here all day in the great heat?
13833	Soon his nose snored again, and Old Man said,"What is it now?"
13833	Soon some people came to meet them and said,"What is this?
13833	Soon the man came running up, and he said to his wife,"Who is driving out my animals?"
13833	Tell me now what I can do for you; what is your trouble?"
13833	The Sun was saying,"Old Man, why are my leggings under your head?"
13833	The Wolf said to him,"Do you think that we would look for the home of the only one we fear?
13833	The badger put his head out of the hole and said,"What do you want, my brother?"
13833	The duck that knew him called out, saying,"Hi, Old Man, where are you going?"
13833	The kit- fox is a little animal, but what one is smarter?
13833	The old woman outside called to them,"Friends, is it smoking in there now?"
13833	The people replied,"What can we do?
13833	The widows will still mourn, and who will care for my father and mother in their old age?
13833	The woman asked Old Man,"How many chiefs are there in that tribe?"
13833	The young man spoke to him and asked,"Did you see some weapons lying in the trail?"
13833	Then Kut- o- yis ´ rose to his feet and said to the son- in- law,"Here, what are you doing?
13833	Then he said to them,"Where are there some more people?"
13833	Then he said,"Why did that bird tell me to do this only four times?
13833	Then he turned around and said to the old people,"How is it that in this lodge there is nothing to eat?
13833	Then he went up to the lodges and said to the youngest woman,"Did you love your husband?"
13833	Then her father was angry, and he said,"Why is this?
13833	Then the young man spoke and asked,"Why is this?
13833	This old woman said to him,"Why are you here, my son?"
13833	To some of these people that he had freed he said,"Where are there any other people?
13833	To the old women Kut- o- yis ´ then said,"Now, grandmothers, where are there any more people?
13833	To- day some of these young men laughed and said to me,''Why do not you ask her?''
13833	Two swans came swimming up to the shore and said to him,"Why have you come here?
13833	Was it not more likely a bit of bone of buffalo or elk, which some dog had carried from one of the fireplaces of the camp and dropped here?
13833	Was it the Snakes following his trail?
13833	Was this a part of his friend''s frame?
13833	Weasel Heart asked him,"Did you see me?"
13833	What are you doing, taking the old women''s meat?"
13833	What are you doing?
13833	What do you think of that?"
13833	What else is sacred?
13833	What part of his body is sacred?
13833	What shall we do?
13833	When he had finished eating, the Raven chief asked,"Why have you come here?"
13833	When they stood outside the Raven asked,"Is the home of your people far?"
13833	When you come to the camp you will pass by a big lodge and they will ask you,''Where are you going and who told you to come here?''
13833	Where is that far- off lodge?
13833	Where is the trail that no one yet has travelled?"
13833	Where is your husband?"
13833	Which one of all the animals is the most to be reverenced?
13833	Who could look at such dreadful things and live?"
13833	Why are you mourning?
13833	Why do you do it?"
13833	Why do you not give me food?"
13833	Why trouble me, then?"
13833	Will there be no end to us?"
13833	Will you let us sit by your fire?"
13833	said the wolf;"what are you doing so far from your home?"
11547	And that money would be taken out of the money coming next year to the Piegans, would n''t it?
11547	But did you not touch them?
11547	Can you see your camp from here?
11547	Can you tell how many days you have travelled?
11547	Did I not speak the truth? 11547 Did I not tell you,"said he,"that those were not what they looked like?
11547	Father, here is your arrow; why did you leave your children?
11547	Father,said K[)u]t- o''-yis,"have you no arrows?"
11547	Have you nothing better than this to set before a stranger? 11547 How did you come to be dead on the sand shoal?"
11547	How do you speak the truth? 11547 How is this?"
11547	How is this?
11547	How is this?
11547	How many nights will it take you to go home and come back here with your people?
11547	Oh, why did you come?
11547	That change has been made, has it not? 11547 Well,"said K[)u]t- o''-yis,"where is your pis''kun?"
11547	Well,said the old woman,"for whom are you mourning?"
11547	What are you doing here, taking the old women''s meat?
11547	What are you doing? 11547 What are you picking up?"
11547	What do you say?
11547	What do you want?
11547	What does he say?
11547	What does my brother here?
11547	What have I done to you,he asked his wife,"that you should treat me this way?
11547	What is he saying now?
11547	What is it, my brother?
11547	What is it?
11547	What is the matter with you?
11547	What is your name?
11547	What kind of a person can it be,said the young man,"who camps there all alone, far from friends?"
11547	Where are you going?
11547	Where are you going?
11547	Where did you get all these pretty things?
11547	Where have you been?
11547	Where is the robe?
11547	Where is your home?
11547	Why are you mourning? 11547 Why are you travelling alone, my brother?"
11547	Why did he tell me to do it only three times? 11547 Why did you beat my wife''s face so?"
11547	Why die?
11547	Why do you sit there, my young brother?
11547	Why does he pray to survive?
11547	Why have you come here?
11547	Why have you come so far from your people?
11547	Why have you come?
11547	Why is this?
11547	Why make a fool of me?
11547	Why should I marry?
11547	Would you dare enter the lodge of that dreadful person?
11547	You know that the Piegans have a certain amount of money coming to them every year, do n''t you?
11547	_ Hai- yah!_said that one;"what is my brother doing so far from home?"
11547	After those dances some of the young men met this poor Scarface, and they laughed at him, and said:"Why do n''t you ask that girl to marry you?
11547	Again the Sun spoke and said,"What are you doing with my leggings?"
11547	Another popular game was what with more southern tribes is called"hands"; it is like"Button, button, who''s got the button?"
11547	Another said,"Where did you capture her, and what tribe does she belong to?"
11547	Are any of my people here?"
11547	Are you a chief?"
11547	As they were standing by the river, the woman said to him,"How is it?
11547	At last Old Man had the bulls all skinned and the meat cut up, and as he rose up he said:"It is getting pretty cold, is n''t it?
11547	Come now, where is she?"
11547	Could he kill him and yet escape?
11547	Did I not always use you well?
11547	Did I say I killed him?
11547	Did he take his bow and arrows and go to the pis''kun to kill a fat cow for the poor old women?
11547	Do n''t you hear me talking to you?"
11547	Do you think we are afraid to go and meet them?
11547	Further said the Sun:"Which is the best, the heart or the brain?
11547	Has he no shame?
11547	Have we not fought them and driven them out of this country?
11547	He said,"You fool, why did you not wake me?"
11547	He said:"Who can this man be, swimming across the river?
11547	He spoke to a living person, and asked,"What is that hanging down above us?"
11547	He used to say to these women, whenever a dance was called:"Why do not you go out and dance too?
11547	He went to some of the people who were left, and said to them,"How is it that you people do nothing to these animals that are killing you?"
11547	Heavy Collar said:"Is it possible that she can destroy us?
11547	How is your heart?
11547	IV Why are the people crying?
11547	In one place, the questioner sings,"Elk, what is your bowl( or dish)?"
11547	In what direction?"
11547	Is my wife here?"
11547	Is she down in the coulée?
11547	Is there no one here who has some strong dream power that can overcome this ghost?"
11547	Let me cut off your side locks?"
11547	Now when Wolf Tail came home and saw his wife''s face, he said,"What is the matter?"
11547	Now when they had smoked, the chief said:"What say you, friend Wolf?
11547	Now, then, dare you enter there?"
11547	Now, to- day, they laughed and said to me,''Why do you not ask her?''
11547	Of all the above animals, of all the flyers, where is one so smart?
11547	Old Man said,"What is it now?"
11547	Old Man, what say you if we go and kill some deer?"
11547	One day Old Man untied him, and told him to take his right shape, saying:"Why have you tried to fool Old Man?
11547	Pretty soon his nose snored, and he woke up and said,"What is it?"
11547	Pretty soon the man came running up, and he said to his wife,"Who now drives out my animals?"
11547	Shall the Snakes and the Piegans make peace?"
11547	Shall we give our new friend something?"
11547	She said to him:"Why did you take those children across the river?
11547	So K[)u]t- o''-yis got up on his feet and said:"Here, what are you doing?
11547	So some young men went up to him, and said:"Why do you sit here in the great heat all day?
11547	Tell me now, what can I do for you?"
11547	The Kit- fox is a little animal, but what one is smarter?
11547	The Sun was saying,"Old Man, why are my leggings under your head?"
11547	The Wolf said:"Do you think we would seek the home of the only one we fear?
11547	The medicine man asked,"What is it?"
11547	The men spoke to them in Sarcee, and said,"Where is the Sarcee camp?"
11547	The old chief looked around, and said:"Where is that young woman, my wife?
11547	The old woman said to her:"Why do you carry that child everywhere?
11547	The people in the dance asked her:"Well, what are you dancing for?
11547	The people said:"What can we do?
11547	The rest of the Blackfeet saw one of their number swimming across the river, and they said to each other:"Who is that?
11547	The voice said to him,"Did I not tell you never to call me, unless you were in great need of my help?"
11547	The widows will still mourn; and in their old age who will take care of my father and my mother?
11547	The young man said to him,"Did you see some weapons lying on the trail?"
11547	The young man said:"Why, that woman that you had with you just now: where did you get her, and where did you leave her?
11547	Then Old Man got angry, and called out:"Why do n''t you answer me?
11547	Then Old Man was mad, and he said,"Ca n''t you speak?"
11547	Then he asked some of these people:"Where are there any other people?
11547	Then he said to Ápi- k[)u]nni,"My son, why are you mourning?"
11547	Then her father was angry, and said:"Why, now, this way?
11547	Then said K[)u]t- o''-yis to the old women:"Now, grand- mothers, where are there any more people?
11547	Then said Old Man,"Do the Bear Chief and his brothers often come out?
11547	Then said he:"Why is this?
11547	Then said the Sun:"What one of all animals is smartest?
11547	Then the Chief Wolf was angry, and he said,"Why did you kill your brother?"
11547	Then the ghost said:"How can you expect me to smoke, when I am way back here?
11547	Then, when he had finished eating, the Raven said,"Why have you come?"
11547	They asked him,"What are we to eat?"
11547	They said to him,"Well, now, we have those animals; how are we to kill them?"
11547	This old woman said to him,"Why are you here, my son?"
11547	Was it the Snakes on his trail?
11547	What are you going to do?"
11547	What can you tell?"
11547	What do you mean?"
11547	What else is sacred?
11547	What is it?"
11547	What is your mind?
11547	What man could look at such dreadful things and live?"
11547	What part of his body is sacred?
11547	What say you?"
11547	What shall be done?"
11547	What use, one against so many?
11547	What was that crackling in the brush near by?
11547	What''s the use of quarrelling or killing anybody?
11547	When he came to the beaver house, he kicked on the top and called,"Oh, my brother, are you here?"
11547	When he got there, all the young men began to laugh at him and to call out,"Heavy Collar, where is your woman?"
11547	When his father saw him coming with only his wives, he said to him,"Where is your young brother?"
11547	When it was almost night, the chief said:"Why does that person sit there so long?
11547	When they had come, he spoke to the poor man and said,"If I bring your wife here, are you willing to give me your sister for my wife?"
11547	When they stood outside, the Raven asked,"Is the home of your people far?"
11547	When you get to the camp, you will pass by a big lodge, and they will say to you,''Where are you going, and who told you to come here?''
11547	Where are there any people?
11547	Where is that far- off lodge?
11547	Where is there a place in this world where you can hide from me?
11547	Where is your husband?"
11547	Where was Old Man?
11547	Which one of all the animals is most_ Nat- o''-ye_[1]?
11547	While he lay there asleep, the chief of the camp came to him and woke him, and said:"Well, friend, what have you decided on?
11547	Why did not some one stop him?"
11547	Why do you not give me some food?"
11547	Why do you not give me some of that?"
11547	Why is all this mourning?
11547	Why live?
11547	Why should they not have been?
11547	Why should we foolishly die?"
11547	Why talk like this?
11547	Why worry me, then?"
11547	You now get your beef here, do n''t you?"
11547	[ Footnote 1: Blackfoot--_Tsa- ki- an- ist- o- man- i?_ i.e., How you like truth?]
11547	[ Footnote 1: Blackfoot--_Tsa- ki- an- ist- o- man- i?_ i.e., How you like truth?]
11547	and where do they live?"
11547	said the old woman,"has our son- in- law been generous, and given us something nice?"
11547	where the trail, which no one yet has travelled?"
11547	will we always live, will there be no end to it?"
