THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Can you think why the salmon feast was at the rapids of the river?

Show in your sand-map a place where rapids might be. If there is a
river near you which has rapids, go to the spot and see if you can
tell what it is that makes the rapids.

Show in your map the hunting grounds of the clans which met at the
rapids. Find the trails they would follow in going to the rapids.

Find out all you can about the habits of the salmon.

Fleetfoot waited for the cover of darkness, for he did not wish to be

But he could tell from the various movements that they were preparing
for a dance.

All eyes seemed fixed on an old woman who was offering gifts to the
gods. She lifted hot stones from the fire and dropped them into a
basket of water. Then she took a piece of salmon and dropped it into
the water.

As Fleetfoot watched the old woman, he thought of Chew-chew and his
old home. Then he wondered if all women would look like Chew-chew when
they grew old.

When the offerings were made, the men began a war dance. Some were
dressed in
