Hie hunting units each consisted of se\'eral families under a rigid police svstem and regulation to prevent the herd from being stampeded b\ an over-eager family before all were amply pro\ided with meat. \^iolations of hunting regulations were punished by destruction of the offender's property to which no resistance was e\er attempted. The group surrounded the herd, at times encircling it with fires made at inter\-als near which the hunters stood and killed the stampeding ani- mals. At times as... many as 120 buffalo w^ere killed in a day. The w^omen cut out the tongues, skinned the animals, and, peeling off the sides of meat, dried and smoked them on wooden grates over a slow fire. The smoked sides were carried back to the village on the back, or when practicable in dugout boats. Carcasses and bones were left on the hunting grounds. Other animals were stalked by one or two hunters. Dog meat was considered a great delicacy. Fish were caught in nets, by hook and line, speared or shot with bow and arrow.
