We see the people can be either place keepers, like us. We hunt small animals, the biggest is sharp tusk. (I wonder if this is a pig? There were some sturdy pigs with good looking tusks in the ice age.) We also learned to plant beans, as Bending Woman and Grateful Daughter showed us to do. We gather roots and berries and dry some of these against the Long Cold.
Followers after sort through the dung of the herds, and sometimes get trampled by them. This is not our choice as a way of life. We value our way of life above all others.
