After ice moved out, she kept on snaring rabbits and going after small game around her. One day, as she was on her way home, she was walking on the shore of the river, she saw a canoe coming her way. Two men sat in the canoe. She became frightened and froze right on the spot she was at. She thought maybe she would go unnoticed if she didn’t move, but it was too late. The men had seen her. As they came closer, they both greeted her and told her there was nothing to fear. After much talk, she was convinced the men were harmless. Polygamy was practised among our people at that time, so it was only natural when they both proposed to her. She agreed and took them to her home. She learned that the two men were looking for her. They knew she had been deserted by her people, so they looked for her until they found her. They were happy to see that she had been doing well for herself.
