Abstract

The article recounts a humorous anecdote about the Stone Indians of the Great Plains, known for their clever horse-stealing tactics. It describes an incident where six young Stone Indians successfully disguised themselves as antelopes to steal horses from the Hudson's Bay Company employees, who were vigilantly guarding their herd. The Stone Indians' strategy involved mimicking deer behavior to approach the horses unnoticed, ultimately leading to a successful theft that was celebrated upon their return to camp. This narrative highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Stone Indians in their interactions with horse owners. [Extracted from the article]
