"What will he do if the white men come here?"

"White man no come."

The woman rose to her feet and looked off to the high peak in the
distance. Then she sat down near the opening where she could watch the
hill without too much trouble. Jean wondered at this, although she

"Have you lived long in this place?" she asked.

"Two, t'ree winter, mebbe."

"Where do you live in the summer?"

"Many place; Wá-sit-um-ó-wek; Wu-las-tukw; Beeg Lake, some tam."

"Where is Big Lake?"

"Way dere," and Kitty motioned westward. "Go dere bimeby."

"You often meet white people, I suppose?"

"A-ha-ha."
