TRAPPING THE THREE

scent. All they can do is to trace th 
animal while he is on the ground. Thre 
or four Indians will sometimes get afte 
the same marten, and in this manne 
they have greater chance of locatin 
the" little furbearer. By striking har 
on the trunk of a tree one can te 
whether a marten is in it, for if he i 
there he will immediately jump, for ar 
other. 
More often success is attained whe 
the marten takes to a hole in the groum 
as in this case a small steel trap may t 
set at the entrance with a good chanc 
of getting the animal when it comes ou 
The question whether Indians ai 
better at setting traps than white me 
is often brought up for discussion and 
a hard one to answer. All I know aboi 
it, is what I have personally observe 
The average white man is a bett< 
trapper than the average Indian, in th 
country at least! Simply because tl 
Indian has degenerated since coming 
contact with the Whites; the young 
generations being far inferior to the 
forefathers. As far as actual trappii 
knowledge is concerned it may be safe 
said that the Indian is still the superi 
of the White man, but a large number 
them are too lazy to stay with the gar 
any length of time. It was a case 
“feast or famine” with a large numb 
of the Crees who traded with Waite 
that winter. As soon as they gather 
a few furs they would trade them 1 
food and lie around until it was neai 
all gone. There were just two outi 
of /Indians trapping thereabouts w 
caught more furs than Walters and 
These were Neassus (Old Stony) a 
Abraham and their separate followii 
The average Indian is a very pc 
rifle shot, a great majority of them v 
not look after a gun and naturally 
can’t be expected to do its best wc 
under such conditions. But where 1 
average native has the advantage o 1 
most of us is because he can stand 
great deal more hardship and exposu 
He can live on meat alone for an 
definite length of time and seems not 
mind the cold. I have been in sme 
tepees where it was so cold I could 
keep from shivering, yet the Cr 
would lie down and snore with onh 
single blanket over them. 
The genuine Indian is a happy- 
lucky individual and never worries ab 
anything until he gets mighty hung 
The squaws do all the work about cat 
cutting lodge poles and erecting 
canvas houses, gathering wood and t 
ing care of whatever the bucks hapi 
to kill. If a moose is killed any < 
tance away from the camps, instead 
hauling or packing it back, the wr 
party will move to the spot and rein 
there till the meat is all gone, while 
squaws dress and tan the hide.. I 
White man could get on with as little 
the Indian does, he would outdo the 
tive at any game, because of his st 
rior reasoning.
