"There was one of our men hanging on the main-stay, and roaring like a bull, as he tried to climb by it out of the water.
This soup of wild rice, pounded venison and maize was my main-stay. But soon my teeth came much earlier than the white children usually cut theirs; and then my good nurse gave me a little more varied food, and I did all my own grinding. After I left my cradle, I almost walked away from it, she told me. She then began calling my attention to natural objects.
