 Those who wish to know something about how the people lived who told these stories will find their ways of life described in the last chapter of this book.
 
The Blackfeet were hunters, travelling from place to place on foot. They used implements1 of stone, wood, or bone, wore clothing made of skins, and lived in tents covered by hides. Dogs, their only tame2 animals, were used as beasts of burden3 to carry small packs and drag light loads.
 
The stories here told come down to us from very ancient times. Grandfathers have told them to their grandchildren4, and these again to their grandchildren, and so from mouth to mouth, through many generations, they have reached our time.
