7 660 It did seem to me plausible, if the Yellow Knives wished to sue for peace, and if they had contacted Watonka, or if he had contacted them, that it would have been done at this time, at the time of the gathering, of the dances and feasts.

7 821 For example, although the Dust Legs and the Fleer are enemies, as are the Kaiila and the Fleer, the Dust Legs have dealings with the Sleen, and the Sleen, in turn, trade with tribes such as the Yellow Knives and the Fleer.

18 196 In my intense awareness of this being the day of the great dance, probably a function of Cuwignaka's almost overwhelming concern about it, and in my concern over the fate of Canka, and my concern with the information obtained from Oiputake, I had forgotten that this day, too, was the day of a peace ...

18 285 * * * * The three men, arms folded, standing in the vicinity of Watonka, who stood on a bit of high ground, near the Isanna lodges, I did not doubt were Yellow Knives.

10
18 298 Watonka, in marked contrast to the three warriors, whom I took to be Yellow Knives, seemed clearly ill at ease.
Details
10
18 303 Iwoso, on the other hand, like the other three, who were presumably Yellow Knives, seemed quite calm.
Details
10
18 334 "But I have reason to believe that the three men with your father, the Yellow Knives, are not as they seem".
Details
10
18 336 "I think they are not civil chieftains of the Yellow Knives," I said.
Details
10
18 342 "He thinks our guests are not civil chieftains of the Yellow Knives, soon to be our friends, but war chiefs".

18 343 This was translated by Iwoso speedily to the three Yellow Knives.

18 348 "There is a slave in camp," I said, "a blond female who was owned by Yellow Knives for a time.

18 352 These things, and what follows, were being translated, quickly, by Iwoso for the Yellow Knives.

18 355 At this point one of the Yellow Knives put his hand on Watonka's arm.

19 46 She was later traded to Sleen who, in turn, traded her to Yellow Knives.

19 65 One of the Yellow Knives, one of the civil chieftains, intervened.

19 129 "When you saw Watonka, and the Yellow Knives," said Cuwignaka, "what were they doing? Think carefully".

10
19 173 "Was there anything else unusual about Watonka, and the Yellow Knives?" pressed Cuwignaka.

23 87 I saw no sign of approaching Yellow Knives.

23 108 "You are well tied for the pleasures of Yellow Knives," said Cuwignaka scornfully, looking down upon the supine, exotically bound suppliant.

25 3 We had mounted the two kaiila taken from the Yellow Knives.

25 21 "These Yellow Knives had no further need of them," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
25 24 "Who slew these Yellow Knives?" asked Hci.
Details
10
25 57 "Those who slew the Yellow Knives," said Hci, "have they fled?" "No more than we," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
25 91 "Does he fight with the Yellow Knives?" "It had been my intention to kill him," said Hci.
Details
10
25 96 I think they were killed by the Yellow Knives who had been with them.
Details
10
25 97 It had been done not with arrows, but knives.
Details
10
25 98 Too, the Yellow Knives were gone.
Details
10
25 107 "The Yellow Knives must have taken her," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
25 112 Iwoso, for her part in the attack, would now be an important woman among the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
25 151 "What of these?" asked Cuwignaka, gesturing with his lance to the three white slaves who had been in the charge of the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
26 11 There were men afoot amongst us, too, both Yellow Knives and Kaiila.
Details
10
26 84 "Are you the slave of Yellow Knives?" I asked.
Details
10
27 2 "The Kinyanpi! They are coming!" Several times in the afternoon had the battle whistles, formed from the wing bones of taloned Herlits, blasted in the air, and the feathered battle staffs raised and lowered, communicating their signals to the combatants, not only to the Kaiila but to the Yellow Kniv...
Details
10
27 5 Not once had Mahpiyasapa, communicating his will by the whistles and battle staffs, permitted his brave, ragged lines to pursue retreating Yellow Knives.
Details
10
27 7 Surely fresh Yellow Knives had, from time to time, swept into the combat.
Details
10
27 51 "Do you think the Yellow Knives will coordinate their attack with that of the Kinyanpi?" asked a man.
Details
10
27 62 We then turned to face the Yellow Knives, some three hundred yards away.
Details
10
27 77 "Watch the Yellow Knives!" I called to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
27 88 Another perished similarly, lances thrust upward through the ropes and cloth, until, bleeding, wounded again and again, he could be pulled down, falling to the ground, there to die under knives.
Details
10
27 93 The Yellow Knives had not moved.
Details
10
27 122 A single tarnsman, high in the sky, was flying toward the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
28 3 Before the lines of the Yellow Knives, some three hundred yards away, to the west, riders rode back and forth, with feathered lances.
Details
10
28 42 "The Yellow Knives have been quite successful," he had said.
Details
10
28 51 It had seemed strange to me that the Yellow Knives, after the difficulties of taking the camp had been made clear to them, had not withdrawn.
Details
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.
Details
10
28 73 One was the alliance and cooperation of the Yellow Knives and Kinyanpi.
Details
10
28 84 It was hard for me to believe that the Yellow Knives, red savages themselves, could have even conceived of such a thing.
Details
10
28 127 For the most part those herds had probably, by now, fallen to Yellow Knives.
Details
10
28 168 She was the slave who, earlier, had been used by Yellow-Knives as, in effect, a lure girl, one used to distract or, say, entrap a warrior.
Details
10
28 184 No longer now were some of the Yellow Knives riding about, back and forth before their lines, moving their lances about, preparing their parties for combat, exhorting them, doubtless, to boldness and bravery.
Details
10
28 186 "Make ready your lances, make ready your knives," chanted Mahpiyasapa, riding before our lines.
Details
10
28 216 They would either keep their height and rain arrows down upon us or act in support of the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
28 218 If we warded blows of Yellow Knives we could not, at the same time, protect ourselves from aerial fire.
Details
10
28 219 Similarly, if we attempted to protect ourselves from aerial fire, by lifting our shields, we would be exposing ourselves to the Yellow Knives' plane of attack.
Details
10
28 220 Presumably we would await the attack of the Yellow Knives under the ropes and netting.
Details
10
28 221 This would make overhead archery more difficult for the Kinyanpi but would also give the Yellow Knives the momentum of attack.
Details
10
28 227 The engagement was brief, perhaps only four or five Ehn, and the Yellow Knives, howling and whooping, in full flight, speeding away, forsook the field.
Details
10
28 231 Of these, of those that had found targets, they reposed in the bodies of Yellow Knives.
Details
10
28 241 At the crest of a rise, once again, suddenly emerging, silhouetted against the sky, were lines of Yellow Knives.
Details
10
28 254 "It is not like Yellow Knives," said a man.
Details
10
28 293 "It is a medicine helper of the Yellow Knives!" cried another.
Details
10
28 337 Somehow they had come into league with the Kinyanpi and, perhaps through them, and in virtue of some special considerations, the nature of which I suspected I knew, been able to make contact with, and enlist the aid of, Yellow Knives.
Details
10
28 339 The discipline of the Yellow Knives now became more meaningful.
Details
10
28 346 I looked wildly back toward the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
29 38 The Yellow Knives would have to make it through the confusion of slaves.
Details
10
29 39 "Yellow Knives are coming!" I cried out, pointing back.
Details
10
29 40 "Yellow Knives, to the west!" Mahpiyasapa looked about, wildly.
Details
10
29 48 The whooping of Yellow Knives was then upon us.
Details
10
29 83 "Away!" Grunt was crying, waving his arm aversively, at two Yellow Knives, mounted, looking at him.
Details
10
29 85 The two Yellow Knives, suddenly, turned about and sped from Grunt.
Details
10
29 114 "It was done to me five years ago," he said, "by Yellow Knives.
Details
10
30 9 Here and there, at points on our perimeter, Yellow Knives and soldiers, in fierce, brief exchanges, tested our strength.
Details
10
30 26 The Yellow Knives opened their lines.
Details
10
30 30 "Yellow Knives," said a man, frightened.
Details
10
30 48 Mahpiyasapa had made a suitable adjustment, implicitly drawing a distinction between true and false medicines, the medicine of the Kaiila presumably being true medicine, and that of the Yellow Knives false.
Details
10
30 72 "The medicine of the Yellow Knives is false medicine!" "What manner of medicine beasts are they, those portrayed on the masks?" asked a man.
Details
10
30 77 "The medicine of the Yellow Knives is false medicine," said a man.
Details
10
30 83 "If they did exist in the medicine world," said the first man, "they would not favor the Yellow Knives".
Details
10
30 92 "Hold your lines, no matter what happens!" "Your medicine is false," cried Mahpiyasapa to the Yellow Knives, though doubtless they could not understand him.
Details
10
30 94 It is only wood and leather!" A horrifying sound came then from the ranks of the Yellow Knives and soldiers.
Details
10
30 96 It must have struck terror, too, into the hearts of the Yellow Knives and soldiers.
Details
10
30 106 Yellow Knives and soldiers pressed in.
Details
10
30 127 Two kaiila, bearing Yellow Knives, charged past.
Details
10
30 204 Our business must be done soon, before the return of the Yellow Knives and the soldiers.
Details
10
30 206 Then would be the time of the falling upon the slain, the time of the knives, the time of the trophies.
Details
10
31 17 We could hear the sounds of revels in the distance, where, together, Yellow Knives, soldiers and Kurii celebrated their victory.
Details
10
32 21 On the other side of it sat the three war chiefs of the Yellow Knives, those who had been earlier in the camp.
Details
10
32 55 "One would be enough to hearten the Yellow Knives," he said, "one would be enough to frighten and dispirit the Kaiila".
Details
10
32 88 When one of the soldiers or Yellow Knives wished one of these girls he simply unfastened the tether from one of her ankles and, when finished, put it again in place.
Details
10
32 112 "It is a dance of the Snake Society, a warrior society of the Yellow Knives," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
32 167 There was much laughter from the Yellow Knives and the dancers.
Details
10
32 254 "The Yellow Knives prepare to dance," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
33 50 "Now we are owned by Yellow Knives," she said.
Details
10
40 86 "He was killed," said Pumpkin, "by Yellow Knives".
Details
10
40 87 "Now," said Carrot, "Yellow Knives are our masters".
Details
10
40 285 "Put them all out!" "Yellow Knives!" cried a man, near the door.
Details
10
40 296 We had not counted on the appearance of Yellow Knives.
Details
10
40 324 Normally red savages are not interested in Waniyanpi women but I had little doubt that in the case of these two wenches the Yellow Knives would be prepared to make an exception.
Details
10
40 326 I did not think that the Yellow Knives would see fit to neglect them; only too obviously were they now ready to be put beneath the will of a man.
Details
10
40 328 I wondered if Carrot and Cabbage would object, if the Yellow Knives entered and, finding the girls of interest, and deciding to take them, tied them and led them away.
Details
10
40 352 "What about the Yellow Knives?" "Perhaps they could escape out the back," said a man.
Details
10
40 358 "If they are caught leaving, or if signs of their escape are found, it will be clear to the Yellow Knives, in either case, that they were here".
Details
10
40 369 "I do not want to be killed by Yellow Knives!" The Waniyanpi looked at one another.
Details
10
40 372 "That they may be turned over to Yellow Knives, you fool!" she cried.
Details
10
40 386 They drew their knives.
Details
10
40 396 "Where are the Yellow Knives?" asked Radish.
Details
10
40 407 "You did not truly slay the Yellow Knives, did you?" asked Radish.
Details
10
40 538 "She wanted us to bind our guests and turn them over to Yellow Knives," said another man.
Details
10
40 657 This is much stronger, in that sense, than being the slave of Kaiila or Yellow Knives".
Details
10
40 865 "We can take the bodies of the Yellow Knives away," said Cuwignaka to Seibar.
Details
10
42 19 She, with three others, Inez, Corinne and Priscilla, had been taken from Grunt by Yellow Knives in the vicinity of the field where the battle had taken place between a coalition of red savages and the soldiers of Alfred, the mercenary captain from Port Olni.
Details
10
42 22 This girl, however, had not been taken by Yellow Knives or Sleen; she had been taken by a Kaiila warrior, Canka; she was now Winyela, his slave.
Details
10
42 28 Accordingly we swiftly took to flight, the screaming of the birds, the smiting of their wings, serving further to alert the camp, both Yellow Knives and Kinyanpi.
Details
10
43 47 "Even the daughters of Kaiila chieftains are worthy only to be the slaves and maidens of Yellow Knives," said Iwoso.
Details
10
43 159 Quickly then, with knives, their clothing was cut from them.
Details
10
43 345 Surely some sort of high coup would be involved, dragging a high lady of the Yellow Knives, one of their own proud free women, in a sack, up and down, back and forth in their own promenade lane, like a common slave girl.
Details
10
43 398 She seemed to be intent upon communicating something of consequence to the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
43 401 "That will be sufficient, Lady Iwoso," I told her, in Kaiila, and then, with perhaps an overly dramatic gesture, but one whose effect was not lost on the Yellow Knives, I threw aside the robe I had worn.
Details
10
43 476 The Yellow Knives, below, looked upward in consternation.
Details
10
43 478 One of the Yellow Knives pointed to me.
Details
10
43 491 Several of the Yellow Knives, on their kaiila, were now on the large, flat surface of the rock.
Details
10
44 1 Yellow Knives Come to Council Rock "Oh!" said Iwoso, wincing, as I pulled tight the knots on her wrists, fastening them back and on each side of the stout post.
Details
10
44 55 I will make you rich among the Yellow Knives!" "What of her?" I asked, indicating Bloketu.
Details
10
44 109 It would not do, of course, for the beasts to learn of it, or the white soldiers of your people, the Yellow Knives, or the Kinyanpi".
Details
10
44 131 The movements of the white soldiers and the Yellow Knives, even from the time they had crossed the Northern Kaiila, four days ago, had been under surveillance by our scouts.
Details
10
44 326 "Yellow Knives!" we heard men cry about us.
Details
10
44 327 "Yellow Knives!" Men were rushing about.
Details
10
44 331 Not a pasang away, across the prairie, all attempt at concealment discarded, waves of Yellow Knives, feathers flying, dust billowing behind them, charged toward Council Rock.
Details
10
44 336 "Now you are done, Kaiila sleen!" At this point I could see only Yellow Knives but I did not doubt but what Alfred, the mercenary captain from Port Olni, with the remnants of his command, probably some three hundred cavalrymen, or so, following the engagement at the summer camp, was not far behind.
Details
10
44 337 Certainly, according to our scouts, he had been with the Yellow Knives at the time of the crossing of the Northern Kaiila.
Details
10
44 338 He would wish the Yellow Knives to make the first strike, doubtless, absorbing and presumably subduing the brunt of the resistance, thus sparing his own men.
Details
10
44 340 I did not think that the Yellow Knives would have disputed this plan.
Details
10
44 358 "The Yellow Knives approach incautiously, anxiously," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
44 364 "You cannot escape! You are lost!" The Yellow Knives now, to be sure, swirled about the foot of the trail, that leading to the summit of Council Rock.
Details
10
44 369 I did not think it wise that the Yellow Knives were urging their kaiila so speedily upward, and in such numbers, on so narrow a trail.
Details
10
44 394 "Waiting for Yellow Knives," said Hci.
Details
10
44 407 "Have you not brought the Yellow Knives here?" asked Hci.
Details
10
44 425 "It is to be expected that the Yellow Knives, seeing you, a high lady of their tribe, tied naked, as a slave, with a slave, will be incensed, that they will be outraged at this insult, that they will fight even more desperately, frenziedly and irrationally to free you, and thus, concomitantly, will ...
Details
10
44 447 On the trail below, only some twenty feet or so below the ledge, charging upward, Yellow Knives, four or five abreast, mounted on painted kaiila, swept toward the top of the trail, some hundred feet or so to our right.
Details
10
44 456 I saw one of the war chiefs of the Yellow Knives, whom I remembered from the summer camp, on his kaiila, slip over the ledge.
Details
10
44 457 Still more Yellow Knives, not clear on what was ahead, were trying to force their way upward on the narrow trail.
Details
10
44 458 Men fought to escape the edge, cutting at one another even with knives.
Details
10
44 459 But those at the edge, often, other Yellow Knives pressing forward, were thrust, even fought, from the trail.
Details
10
44 461 Bodies, those of kaiila and Yellow Knives, slipped from the edge, plummeting downward.
Details
10
44 472 The trail then, long and winding, visible in many of its lengths from the height of the escarpment, seemed choked with Yellow Knives.
Details
10
44 474 We could even see many Yellow Knives, puzzled, milling about, near the foot of the trail, hundreds of feet below.
Details
10
44 484 Yet I think that more than a hundred and fifty Yellow Knives might already have perished, victims of that steep, dreadful trail, crowded from it, driven from it, trampled upon it, and some even falling under the weapons of their own fellows, fighting for space on the rugged ascent.
Details
10
44 489 Some finally plunged, rolling and bouncing downward, into the Yellow Knives far below on the grass.
Details
10
44 490 Yellow Knives raised their shields but this did little good for the potency of the stones lay primarily not in their capacity to cut or penetrate but to transmit their considerable force, bluntly, crushingly, suddenly, to the target surface.
Details
10
44 497 Slowly, with difficulty on the narrow trail, some backing down, some turning, some falling, the Yellow Knives on the lower lengths of the trail, pressing back among their fellows at the foot of Council Rock, freed the lower ascents, enabling their trapped fellows on the upper reaches of the trail, t...
Details
10
44 500 This the rear guard of the Yellow Knives, packed against their retreating fellows, the rock on one side, the drop on the other, their eyes wide with horror, must watch bounding inexorably toward them.
Details
10
44 502 It took perhaps a dozen men from the trail and then bounded down the rock face and, a few Ihn later, skipping and leaping almost like a pebble, possessing such terrible forces, yet seeming so small from this height, it caromed off the foot of the rock face and then landed, rolling and bounding, amon...
Details
10
44 567 Disadvantaged were the Yellow Knives to be on kaiilaback in such close quarters.
Details
10
44 573 He who had leapt his kaiila over the lower barricade was the second war chief of the Yellow Knives, he who had ascended the trail only Ehn earlier.
Details
10
44 578 In about an Ahn, in the vicinity of noon, we saw some three or four hundred Yellow Knives ascending the trail, on foot, slowly, conserving their energy.
Details
10
44 583 Further, the Yellow Knives, like other red savages honed to warlike perfection over generations of intertribal conflict, were fine warriors.
Details
10
44 607 In moments the shields of the Yellow Knives bristled with arrows.
Details
10
44 609 The small shields of the Yellow Knives, too, provided them with little protection.
Details
10
44 611 It did not take long for the assaulted Yellow Knives to realize that they were exposed to no ordinary rain of arrows, a shower soon finished, but something unnatural to them, something unprecedented in their experience.
Details
10
44 616 "See the Yellow Knives?" Hci asked Iwoso.
Details
10
44 630 "Doubtless they delayed their arrival, assuming that, by now, the Yellow Knives would have completed their business here".
Details
10
44 633 "No woman could love you! I hate you! I hate you!" "What do you think the Yellow Knives will do?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
44 641 "Their effect on the Yellow Knives is likely to be the more significant the more unfamiliar they are to them".
Details
10
44 654 Alfred, with his officers, and several Yellow Knives, began then, slowly, to ride south.
Details
10
44 659 "The Yellow Knives have sustained great losses," said Hci.
Details
10
44 677 "Do you think the Yellow Knives will withdraw?" "I do not know," she said.
Details
10
44 835 "Do you think the Yellow Knives will attack again, today?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
44 880 "That is thanks to the Yellow Knives," said Hci.
Details
10
46 17 "Too, of course," I said, "your presence here, naked, in your ropes, tied like a slave, is calculated to be an incitement to the Yellow Knives".
Details
10
46 46 "The Yellow Knives," said Cuwignaka, coming over to where I stood, "are beginning to mass at the foot of the trail".
Details
10
46 66 "There are not enough soldiers to control the Yellow Knives," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
46 83 The Yellow Knives, probably some four or five hundred of them, with perhaps some fifty soldiers, were now climbing the trail.
Details
10
46 104 In a few moments the Yellow Knives and the soldiers with them, shielded by their screens, were passing beneath our position, advancing toward the summit.
Details
10
46 121 "A gag, if noted, might alert perceptive Yellow Knives," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
46 136 Then we fell upon the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
46 141 Then Yellow Knives, in sufficient numbers, had managed to turn and face us.
Details
10
46 144 Elated, Yellow Knives rushed after us, down the trail.
Details
10
46 151 Pursuing Yellow Knives, thrust from behind, unable to stop, rushed onto the lances.
Details
10
46 154 War clubs, shields and knives met.
Details
10
46 156 It now struck the Yellow Knives on the trail itself.
Details
10
46 157 Most of the Yellow Knives, of course, hemmed in by their fellows, on the front and in the rear, and on the flanks by the drop and the wall, must remain inactive.
Details
10
46 161 Many of the Yellow Knives and soldiers, rather than face this withering fire, lowered themselves from the trail, slipping and sliding, then, abrasively, down the side of the rock face.
Details
10
46 163 In moments then our groups, that of Hci and Waiyeyeca, and that from the barricade itself, met, Yellow Knives and soldiers slain or forced from the trail.
Details
10
46 171 "Yellow Knives on kaiila approaching the lower barricade!" called Kahintokapa, from above.
Details
10
46 174 By the time these Yellow Knives had dismounted and cast aside the lower barricade, it tumbling downward, breaking and shattering in its descent, and remounted, we were safe.
Details
10
46 176 There were many Yellow Knives left on the trail below.
Details
10
47 6 "The Yellow Knives, left to their own resources," said Hci, "would have withdrawn after the failure of the first day.
Details
10
47 50 "I am doing it to improve your appearance," he said, "much as one might water an animal before its sale, that you will look your best for the Yellow Knives".
Details
10
47 82 The Yellow Knives, in lines behind them, advanced.
Details
10
47 210 Perhaps they had feared less than might have Yellow Knives, Fleer or Kaiila, because they were more familiar with tarns than such tribes.
Details
10
47 310 "Back to Council Rock!" Soldiers had established a hold on the eastern ledges of Council Rock, to which they had been climbing, those ledges opposite those above the trail, up which, slowly, medicine drums beating, medicine men dancing about the beasts, the procession of Yellow Knives, a few minutes...
Details
10
47 320 The Yellow Knives, on the western side of Council Rock, prevented by the mountain from knowing what had occurred in the air to the east, and on the eastern faces of the rock, singing their medicine, their hearing throbbing with the beat of drums, had not desisted in their procession to the summit; t...
Details
10
47 323 Yellow Knives were not twenty-five feet below me, on the trail.
Details
10
47 325 I also saw, prominent among the Yellow Knives, Alfred, with soldiers, and a Yellow Knife I recognized as the third of the war chiefs who had been at the summer camp.
Details
10
47 339 Yellow Knives crowded back against one another, uneasily.
Details
10
47 354 They stopped, some ten feet from one another, alone, facing one another on the trail, between the barricade and the other beasts and Yellow Knives.
Details
10
47 373 The medicine men of the Yellow Knives looked at one another, frightened.
Details
10
47 394 Yellow Knives shrank back.
Details
10
47 402 The Yellow Knives began to back downward.
Details
10
47 414 The Yellow Knives looked at one another.
Details
10
47 417 The Yellow Knives wavered.
Details
10
47 423 The Yellow Knives then turned and fled.
Details
10
47 424 Kaiila swarmed over and through the barricade, with clubs and lances, and shields and knives.
Details
10
47 426 Arrows were loosened from the height of the escarpment into the fleeing Yellow Knives.
Details
10
47 428 Some of our men who were tarnsmen brought their tarns into the fray, raking down at the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
47 429 Yellow Knives, crowding, fleeing, forced many of their own number from the trail.
Details
10
47 435 We had been the bait, on Council Rock, to lure the Yellow Knives and soldiers into a trap, a trap which these other tribes, acting in coalition, were to spring shut.
Details
10
47 437 The Yellow Knives, in cooperating with white soldiers, had betrayed the Memory.
Details
10
47 442 Such alliances, those of Yellow Knives with forces such as those of the white soldiers and the Kinyanpi, threatened the delicate tribal balances in the Barrens.
Details
10
47 448 Iwoso was white with terror, roped to her post, seeing the retreat of the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
47 496 Some, I think, may have been slain by Yellow Knives who, in wrath, sensing perhaps a betrayal or fraud in them, had fallen upon them.
Details
10
47 497 It would be a long time, I thought, before Kaiila or Yellow Knives would be likely to again take such beasts for supernatural creatures, visitants from the medicine world.
Details
10
47 509 "The Yellow Knives are defeated," said Hci to her.
Details
10
48 3 I looked down from the escarpment to the victory camp below, where, yesterday, the Yellow Knives had had their encampment.
Details
10
51 10 "It is one like those who were with the Yellow Knives," said a man, "those defeated on the trail".
Details
10
51 22 When Cuwignaka and I had spied on the victory celebration of the Yellow Knives and soldiers at the summer camp we had counted only seven Kurii there, including Kog and Sardak.
Details
10
53 3 I had acquired her as a portion of my share of the loot from the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
54 100 The Yellow Knives had been defeated ten days ago.
Details
10
54 121 They were the four girls who had been taken from Grunt long ago by Yellow Knives, near the scene of the massacre of the wagon train, and the battle between the soldiers and the coalition of red savages, Lois, Inez, Corinne and Priscilla.
Details
10
54 122 They had been returned to Grunt after the defeat of the Yellow Knives, as a part of his portion of the booty.
