Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

It is said that one of the bands of the Medwakantodwad Dakotahs in Minnesota, have delivered to their trader, fifteen hundred deer skins, which they have taken this season. If this is correct, the band must have killed at least two thousand deer during the fall and winter, for five hundred skins or more are probably been used by them and retained for future use. From October to February the Indians who hunt deer, subsist almost entirely on the flesh of that animal.
