44, HUNTING ON THE PLAINS 
Across the mountains they went out on the prairie, but they were 
afraid of the Piegans. They sang, traveling around there. They 
were afraid that the Piegans would steal their horses. They did , 
that always when they went on the prairie. They came back when 
they finished rounding up the buffaloes. Then they stopped.
