10 |
| 9 | 41 |
"In a while it will be time to return you to the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 9 | 54 |
Indeed, for the afternoon, or, I supposed, until, within reason, I chose to return her to the lodge of Canka, she was, for all practical purposes, my own slave. |
10 |
| 9 | 109 |
"I think it is time we went to the lodge of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 131 |
"Let us hurry to the lodge of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 269 |
"Let us go now to the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 9 | 325 |

10 |
| 9 | 350 |
"We must go to the lodge of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 390 |
I snap my fingers and you must stand, prepared then to follow me, unquestioning, your will nothing, to your master's lodge. |
10 |
| 9 | 429 |
I then, to her horror, strode to the side of the lodge and picked up the kaiila quirt which lay there. |
10 |
| 9 | 664 |
"How am I to act when I return to his lodge?" she asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 668 |
I then explained to her what she might do upon her return to the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 9 | 674 |
"You are eager to return to the lodge of your master," I observed. |
10 |
| 9 | 702 |

10 |
| 10 | 59 |
Then he indicated, with the quirt, that the girl should enter the interior of the lodge. |
10 |
| 10 | 60 |
She crawled to the lodge, head down. |
10 |
| 10 | 73 |
Canka then entered his lodge. |
10 |
| 10 | 75 |
I had suggested the business of the kaiila quirt to her before we had left Cuwignaka's lodge. |
10 |
| 10 | 78 |
As I left, I heard her crying out in ecstasy and heard, too, the uncompromising, triumphant roars, unrestrained, bestial and victorious, of his ownership of her, a slave, a girl named Winyela, whom I had prepared for his lodge. |
10 |
| 11 | 2 |
It was the day following Winyela's disciplining and my delivery of her, suitably informed and improved, to the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 11 | 64 |
"I bring it from the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 11 | 109 |

10 |
| 11 | 124 |
"I have waited for years to enter the dance lodge," he said. |
10 |
| 12 | 359 |
"But you are not kept in a private lodge," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 701 |
"I will do anything to be taken into a lodge, to serve". |

| 13 | 32 |
Even now civil chieftains of the Yellow Knives reside in his lodge". |
10 |
| 13 | 36 |
As chief I could take her to my lodge. |
10 |
| 13 | 48 |
Had it been another woman I do not think I would have hesitated to bring her, her neck in a rope, to your lodge. |
10 |
| 13 | 73 |
Canka turned, then, and looked down at Winyela, who was kneeling by the entrance to his lodge. |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
We had been invited to the lodge of Canka this night for boiled meat, a way of preparing meat of which the red savages are fond. |
10 |
| 13 | 95 |
"Tomorrow I will enter the lodge of the dance," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 13 | 139 |
I was to meet Cuwignaka at the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 235 |
Cuwignaka and I, smiling, left the lodge. |
10 |
| 13 | 246 |
"Meet me back at the lodge of Canka, later," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 13 | 258 |
"I am so much yours," we heard Winyela say, from within the lodge. |
10 |
| 15 | 3 |
"Greetings," said Canka, standing before his lodge. |
10 |
| 15 | 17 |
"Her," said Hci, pointing to Winyela, standing near the lodge entrance. |
10 |
| 15 | 30 |
More red savages, as if from nowhere, the word of Hci's visit to the lodge of Canka apparently having rapidly spread, appeared. |
10 |
| 15 | 31 |
There was now a crowd in front of the lodge. |
10 |
| 15 | 204 |
Then he lifted her in his arms and carried her gently into the recesses of his lodge. |
10 |
| 15 | 255 |
"Let us return to our lodge," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 15 | 270 |
"Let us go to our lodge," I said. |
10 |
| 16 | 2 |
She drew me happily behind a lodge. |
10 |
| 16 | 5 |
Behind the lodge she knelt down before me. |
10 |
| 16 | 19 |
My former master, I think, thought he was ridding himself of a poor girl, but I, as soon as I found myself within the skins of my new master's lodge, began to serve him, deliciously, and as a subdued slave. |
10 |
| 16 | 189 |
"When I led you behind the lodge," she said, "I was grateful and happy. |
10 |
| 16 | 257 |
My Master, and friend, Canka, of the Isbu, has retained his own slave and love, a girl named Winyela, also a luscious white slave, and my friend, Cuwignaka, after years of waiting is, at last, going to enter the lodge of the great dance". |
10 |
| 16 | 272 |
I saw them last night at a late feast, when I was being brought to my master's lodge. |
10 |
| 16 | 273 |
I saw them this morning, near the lodge of Watonka, in the Isanna camp. |
10 |
| 17 | 2 |
"Where is Canka!" The young warrior was not in his lodge. |
10 |
| 17 | 105 |
"Did Sleen Soldiers come for her," I asked, "to take her to the lodge of Mahpiyasapa?" "No," said Akihoka. |
10 |
| 17 | 123 |
I would have gone first to Cuwignaka, as I knew him best and had the highest regard for his perceptiveness and common sense, but that action I had rejected, of course, because at this time he would be, with other young men, dancing in the great lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 3 |
She was kneeling within the lodge which Mahpiyasapa had set aside for the use of Grunt, his friend. |
10 |
| 18 | 13 |
"Why are you alone in the lodge?" I asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 22 |
"I shall go to the lodge of Mahpiyasapa!" I turned to leave but then, suddenly, turned back. |
10 |
| 18 | 89 |
"Inside the lodge or outside?" I asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 113 |
She collapsed on a robe in the lodge, clutching at it with her small fingers, weeping bitterly. |
10 |
| 18 | 118 |
"If your obedience is insufficiently prompt," I said, "I may add to my command the stipulation that you will polish the trade goods outside the lodge naked". |
10 |
| 18 | 124 |
I then hurried from the lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 132 |
I sped on, toward the lodge of Mahpiyasapa. |
10 |
| 18 | 140 |
It seems she is now to serve in his own lodge, away from the herd, she thus convenient to him, and readily at hand, for her commandings and caressings, as a prize slave". |
10 |
| 18 | 163 |
I leaped up and again hurried toward the lodge of Mahpiyasapa. |
10 |
| 18 | 164 |
I passed within a hundred yards of the great dance lodge, formed of towering walls of brush. |
10 |
| 18 | 166 |
* * * * "Mahpiyasapa is not here," said the woman, kneeling near his lodge, one of his wives. |
10 |
| 18 | 197 |
I made my way rapidly towards the council lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 217 |
They sheathed their knives and resumed their stance, arms folded, before the threshold of the great lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 222 |
By now, however, I would have supposed they would have been within the council lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 249 |
In the small confines of a sweat lodge, fasting, and with steam and hot stones, he would try to come to grips with these things which had happened. |
10 |
| 18 | 261 |
This part of the work, heating the stones, bringing the water, reheating the stones, and so on, ideally, is not done by the individual or individuals within the sweat lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 266 |
I turned about and looked again at the huge council lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 271 |
In that lodge, this afternoon, would be gathered, for most practical purposes, the leadership and aristocracy of the Kaiila nation. |
10 |
| 18 | 277 |
I took my way from the vicinity of the council lodge. |

| 18 | 313 |
Iwoso, on the other hand, I supposed, would be required in the council lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 316 |
Judging by the sun, and the shadow by the stick, I would have supposed that Watonka and his party should have been making their way to the council lodge. |
10 |
| 18 | 383 |
Then I shook the foolishness of this from my mind, and made my way back towards the lodge I shared with Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 19 | 1 |
I Speak with Cuwignaka "Cuwignaka!" I cried, startled, entering the interior of our lodge. |
10 |
| 19 | 2 |
He was sitting, cross-legged, within the lodge. |
10 |
| 19 | 7 |
"Cancega, himself, medicine chief of all the Kaiila, at the behest of Hci, refused me entrance into the dance lodge". |
10 |
| 19 | 16 |
I knew that Cuwignaka, for years, had dreamed of entering the lodge of the great dance, there to test and prove the manhood from which his people seemed determined to preclude him. |
10 |
| 19 | 26 |
He went then to the side of the lodge and brought back a cloth. |
10 |
| 19 | 40 |
"I know how keenly you desired to enter the lodge". |
10 |
| 19 | 87 |
"This incident occurred just outside the council lodge," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 19 | 92 |
"Watonka and the others were on their way to the council lodge?" asked Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 19 | 96 |
"One would think that they would have been on their way to the council, if not within the council lodge, by then". |
10 |
| 19 | 99 |
"The great men of the Kaiila should all be within the council lodge," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 19 | 104 |
"At the time for the council to begin," mused Cuwignaka, "Watonka seems in no hurry to be within the lodge". |
10 |
| 19 | 106 |
"The lodge contains the great men of the Kaiila," said Cuwignaka, "but Watonka, and the Yellow Knives, are not there". |
10 |
| 19 | 181 |
"Do you recall, Tatankasa," asked Cuwignaka, "some days ago, when we spoke with Bloketu and Iwoso outside our lodge. |
10 |
| 19 | 225 |
He then rushed from the lodge and I, rising to my feet, hurried after him. |
10 |
| 20 | 1 |
Kinyanpi "Behold," laughed Hci, sitting with cronies, cross-legged, outside the lodge of the Sleen Soldiers, "it is the pretty sister of Canka, and Canka's slave, Tatankasa". |
10 |
| 20 | 4 |
"She tried to enter the lodge of the dance," laughed Hci, pointing at Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 20 | 28 |
"Who says Watonka is not in the council lodge?" asked Hci. |
10 |
| 20 | 30 |
I do not think it is his intention to go to the council lodge. |
10 |
| 20 | 32 |
"Others were in the council lodge?" asked Hci. |
10 |
| 20 | 35 |
"The greatest men of our people, most of them, are in that lodge, Hci," said Cuwignaka, "gathered in that one place. |
10 |
| 20 | 72 |
"Agleskala," he said, "go to the council lodge. |
10 |
| 20 | 74 |
Empty the lodge". |
10 |
| 21 | 18 |
"Get kaiila! Rally by the council lodge! Fight!" "Run!" cried another man. |
10 |
| 21 | 48 |
Hci rose from our side and went into the lodge of the Sleen Soldiers. |
10 |
| 21 | 51 |
The primary interest of the tarnsmen, I had little doubt, would have been the council lodge and the area about it. |
10 |
| 21 | 52 |
The lodge itself, because of its size, would be conspicuous. |
10 |
| 21 | 54 |
It was no wonder he was not eager, this day, to enter the lodge. |
10 |
| 21 | 60 |
"There is a lance in my lodge," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 22 | 2 |
We had turned, startled, not more than a few yards from our lodge, from the interior of which Cuwignaka had recovered the lance. |
10 |
| 22 | 21 |
"We are near Grunt's lodge". |
10 |
| 22 | 22 |
* * * * "Are you all right?" I asked Wasnapohdi, entering Grunt's lodge. |
10 |
| 22 | 32 |
"Here," said Wasnapohdi, going to a bundle at the side of the lodge, unwrapping it. |
10 |
| 22 | 65 |
At the interior threshold of the lodge I turned again to face Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 22 | 84 |
I briefly reconnoitered, and then left the lodge, Wasnapohdi following me. |
10 |
| 22 | 95 |
"Down!" We stepped back and crouched down behind a lodge. |
10 |
| 22 | 103 |
"Toward the place of the council lodge," I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 251 |
* * * * "It is the dance lodge," I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 252 |
To our right was the great, circular brush lodge. |
10 |
| 22 | 256 |
In the center of the lodge, visible now through a hole torn in the brush, was the tall, slim, peeled, twice-forked pole which, days ago, Winyela had felled. |
10 |
| 22 | 260 |
From the sides of the dance lodge huge gouts of brush had been torn away. |
10 |
| 22 | 261 |
It was through these gaps that Yellow Knives had perhaps entered the lodge. |
10 |
| 22 | 263 |
In places, marked by successions of linear stains, and marks in the dust, bodies had apparently been dragged from the lodge. |
10 |
| 23 | 2 |
We lay behind the lodge. |
10 |
| 25 | 58 |
"Should you come again into contact with them," said Hci, "inform them that our forces may be joined near the council lodge". |
10 |
| 25 | 120 |
"If you wish, on the other hand, to come to the area of the council lodge, to huddle there with the women and children, you may do so," he said. |
10 |
| 25 | 121 |
"The way to the council lodge, at this point, is clear". |
10 |
| 25 | 136 |
"Shall we go to the council lodge or flee?" I asked. |
10 |
| 25 | 139 |
"If it should fly to the north or west," he said, "we shall go to the council lodge". |
10 |
| 25 | 141 |
"Then," said Cuwignaka, "we shall go to the council lodge". |
10 |
| 25 | 144 |
"We will go to the council lodge". |
10 |
| 25 | 164 |
We left them behind, then, making our way toward the council lodge. |
10 |
| 27 | 41 |
Sharpened stakes, too, fashioned from lodge poles, supported by shorter, crossed poles, archers at their base, could be oriented to the trajectory of the attack. |
10 |
| 28 | 56 |
When I had left Grunt I had ridden a hundred yards or so away, to look at the remains of the council lodge. |
10 |
| 28 | 59 |
Hundreds of arrows, I had heard, had penetrated its lodge skins. |
10 |
| 28 | 65 |
A task force of Yellow Knives had penetrated the camp, too, to that point, and it was they who had killed and mutilated the wounded, and burned the lodge. |
10 |
| 28 | 66 |
A similar task force had attacked the dance lodge. |
10 |
| 28 | 88 |
I looked again at the bodies, and arrows, within the remains of the council lodge. |
10 |
| 30 | 203 |
We left the lodge stealthily. |
10 |
| 31 | 1 |
In Grunt's Lodge "I lied," said Hci. |
10 |
| 31 | 2 |
He lay in the darkness, in Grunt's lodge. |
10 |
| 31 | 3 |
I had wished to return to this lodge. |
10 |
| 32 | 83 |
In the center of the great circle the huge fire blazed from a kindling of broken lodge poles. |
10 |
| 32 | 214 |
"The portals of the dance lodge will be unguarded now," he said. |
10 |
| 32 | 220 |
"The lodge of the dance has been rent," I said. |
10 |
| 34 | 425 |
"Where is the lodge of Kahintokapa!" "There," said Mahpiyasapa, puzzled, pointing. |
10 |
| 34 | 438 |
I quickly turned my steps toward the lodge of Kahintokapa. |
10 |
| 34 | 440 |
Then, slowly, I walked about the lodge. |
10 |
| 34 | 448 |
Similarly, one does not pass between a guest and the fire in a lodge without begging his pardon. |
10 |
| 34 | 480 |
Even now, among certain articles on the travois, brought from the lodge of Grunt at the festival camp, was the story hide, acquired long ago in the delta of the Vosk, some four pasangs from Port Kar. |
10 |
| 35 | 90 |
A small package, oblong, heavy, brought from among the articles in Grunt's lodge, in the festival camp, lay near me on the stones. |
10 |
| 35 | 114 |
* * * * It begins in the sweat lodge. |
10 |
| 35 | 115 |
This is a small lodge, rather oval and rounded. |
10 |
| 35 | 121 |
When the stones cool they are removed from the lodge and reheated. |
10 |
| 35 | 124 |
Suffice it to say that the ceremony of the sweat lodge is a detailed, complex, sophisticated and highly symbolic ritual. |
10 |
| 35 | 131 |
Nonetheless, as one sits alone in the darkened interior of the sweat lodge, with one's head down between one's knees, to keep from fainting and to help stand the heat, one has a great deal of time to think. |
10 |
| 35 | 135 |
It would not hurt most of us, I suspect, once in a while, to go to a sweat lodge. |
10 |
| 35 | 136 |
After one emerges from the sweat lodge one goes to a stream and washes in the cold water. |
10 |
| 39 | 106 |
"It is not so different in the Barrens," she said, "when one is alone with the master, when the lodge flaps are tied shut, from the inside". |
10 |
| 40 | 3 |
Hci, Cuwignaka and I sat behind a fire, in the center of the large, half-sunken, earthen-and-wood lodge of the Waniyanpi. |
10 |
| 40 | 10 |
We sat behind the fire, in what, in a lodge of red savages, would be the place of honor. |
10 |
| 40 | 13 |
The lodge in which we waited was not untypical of the communal lodges of the Waniyanpi. |
10 |
| 40 | 19 |
The smoke hole, incidentally, because of its size, and the size and structure of the lodge, tends to be somewhat inefficient. |
10 |
| 40 | 196 |
Indeed, that was why I had come to the lodge of the Waniyanpi. |
10 |
| 40 | 286 |
There was an instant silence in the Waniyanpi lodge. |
10 |
| 40 | 318 |
It was quiet in the lodge of the Waniyanpi. |
10 |
| 40 | 522 |
Seibar then, by the arm, led her to an open place in the lodge. |
10 |
| 40 | 741 |
A murmur of approval coursed through the lodge, as men and women observed the slave, well and appropriately subjugated, her head bowed before her master. |
10 |
| 40 | 848 |
The men and women in the lodge let out a cry of approval. |
10 |
| 40 | 877 |
"It might be well, for a time," I said, "to express your manhood only within the secrecy of your own lodge. |
10 |
| 41 | 6 |
The girl, near the lodge at Two Feathers, amidst trees, knelt, trembling. |
10 |
| 42 | 14 |
A white female slave, one whipped from a Yellow-Knife lodge, had seen us. |
10 |
| 43 | 5 |
They were in a lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 6 |
We could observe them through the tiny aperture we had opened in the rear of the lodge, behind them, with the point of a knife. |
10 |
| 43 | 7 |
A small fire burned in the lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 8 |
The two girls knelt behind the fire, between it and the rear of the lodge, opposite the entrance. |
10 |
| 43 | 146 |
With one long, even, swift stroke of the knife I opened the back of the lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 147 |
Cuwignaka and Hci, swiftly, before the girls could react, had pressed into the lodge and seized them, throwing them to their backs and holding their mouths shut. |
10 |
| 43 | 148 |
I followed them into the lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 206 |
Then Cuwignaka and Hci, as silent as shadows, moving through the cut I had made in the back, left the lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 301 |
Did she really think that a woman such as she, luscious slave meat, would be truly accorded any consideration whatsoever? I then, taking the rope with me, exited through the cut in the back of the lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 305 |
I looped the rope about the pommel of the saddle, dropping a few coils of it to either side, it then, on either side, descending to the ground and trailing back into the lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 386 |
I saw more than one Yellow-Knife warrior emerging from a lodge. |
10 |
| 43 | 441 |
Had she not tricked me into the loosening of her gag, in the lodge, giving her an opportunity to cry out and raise the alarm, an opportunity which she had well exploited? It was little wonder she was quiet. |
10 |
| 44 | 36 |
"To what do we owe this extraordinary privilege," she asked, "that we are permitted this view, this fresh air, that we have been relieved of our hoods and our bonds in the prison lodge?" I looped the rope twice about her neck and then three times more under her chin and about the post, slipping it d... |
10 |
| 44 | 106 |
"You mentioned it," she said, "in the Yellow-Knife camp, in my lodge". |
10 |
| 44 | 507 |
The girls, of course, would not have known this, for they had been in their bonds and hoods in the prison lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 756 |
Obviously they had overheard her conversation with Bloketu in the lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 809 |
Cuwignaka brought some pemmican and a small water bag from a nearby lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 876 |
The girls, in them, bound, would be returned to the prison lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 889 |
I then freed them from the posts and prepared to lead them to the prison lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 894 |
I then led them, hooded and stumbling, by the common tether on their wrists, to the prison lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 895 |
After a time, after I had secured the girls, hooded and tied, wrists to ankles, in the prison lodge, I returned to the edge of the escarpment. |
10 |
| 47 | 101 |
"And throw back the lodge covers and poles which conceal our tarns. |
10 |
| 48 | 10 |
They had spent the night, as the several nights previously, hooded and bound in the prison lodge. |
10 |
| 48 | 12 |
In another such lodge, hooded and bound, were Alfred, and four of his officers. |
10 |
| 48 | 66 |
"As you see," said Hci, quoting Iwoso's remark to Bloketu in her lodge, overheard by us the night of their capture, "it is not difficult to trick a stupid slave". |
10 |
| 50 | 167 |
I looked again then on the breadth of the Barrens, surveying them from the height of Council Rock, returning thereafter to my lodge. |
10 |
| 51 | 31 |
"Tell them," I said, "to take him to the lodge of the dark guest". |
10 |
| 51 | 34 |
He then crossed the index fingers of his right and left hand, like lodge poles. |
10 |
| 51 | 39 |
He was then, shuffling in the dust with bloody feet, from which the claws had been extracted, bound helplessly, dragged on ropes and prodded with the butts of lances, conducted toward the lodge of Zarendargar. |
10 |
| 53 | 4 |
It seemed that when she had come to my lodge she had thought that her life with me, I being white, might be easier than it would be with a red master. |
10 |
| 53 | 5 |
She had then spent the night outside the lodge, naked, in the rain, her hands tied behind her back, her neck tied to a stake. |
10 |
| 54 | 1 |
I Return to my Lodge "'Where is this one called Cuwignaka?'" translated the young, light-skinned, muscular fellow. |
10 |
| 54 | 99 |
She was doubtless on her way to the lodge of her master. |
10 |
| 54 | 115 |
I turned my steps toward my lodge, that which I shared with Cuwignaka, and his slave, Cespu, and with she who was now my own slave, she to whom I now held full legal title, lovely, obedient blond Mira. |
10 |
| 54 | 207 |
The hunters and the slave were met at the entrance to Wayuhahaka's lodge by another slave, a blond, barefoot girl in a brief, tightly-belted tunic of Waniyanpi cloth. |
10 |
| 54 | 218 |
While the women worked the men would sit before the entrance to the lodge and talk. |
10 |
| 54 | 240 |
"When he took me to his lodge he was angry and beat me. |
10 |
| 54 | 254 |
She was going toward the lodge of Waiyeyeca. |
10 |
| 54 | 256 |
Perhaps it would be used to repair one of the skins in Waiyeyeca's lodge. |
10 |
| 54 | 259 |
I continued on, then, toward my own lodge. |
10 |
| 54 | 265 |
One of Mahpiyasapa's wives, with a switch in her gnarled, mutilated hand, the woman with whom I had once spoken outside of his lodge before the attack on the summer camp, was supervising her in her duties. |
10 |
| 54 | 295 |
On the way back to my lodge I passed a bargaining place, an open area serving for trading and exchanges, not unusual in an intertribal camp. |
10 |
| 54 | 329 |
I had soon, then, returned to the vicinity of my lodge. |
10 |
| 54 | 333 |
"Word has come from the lodge of the dark guest," she said, "brought by Akihoka. |
10 |

"I am going to the lodge of the dark guest," I said. |

I saw an Anangan dart lodge itself in a fellow's throat, who tried to pull it free, and, blood bursting from the neck, he sprawled into the dust, the vessel of the artery exposed, as it had caught behind the point of the dart, which point is broad, and barbed. |
