I questioned the chief about the Great Bear and Marten Lakes, their distance from Fort Enterprise, etc., but his answers were so vague and unsatisfactory that they were not worth attention; his description of Bouleau's Route (which he said was the shortest and best and abundant in animals) was very defective though the relative points were sufficiently characteristic had we not possessed a better route.

He had never been at the sea and knew nothing about the mouth of the Copper-Mine River.

In the evening he made his young men dance and sometimes accompanied them himself.

They had four feathers in each hand.

One commenced moving in a circular form, lifting both feet at the same time, similar to jumping sideways.
