These are the content notes for "The Little Shadow Across the Grass."
Read about the Grunge.
The Ghost Dance was meant to "roll up the world."
It typically takes 4-6 cords of wood to heat a house for the winter, costing about $550 if purchased as chopped wood. Several acres is enough space to grow that much, especially if coppiced. Growing your own is free, you just have to supply the labor.
Choosing chickens requires thinking about broodiness, which is the inclination for hatching eggs. Since most commercial breeds lack that, they can't reproduce much without help. Some homesteaders use surrogate mothers for this reason. Learn how to keep a self-sustaining flock. The Blackfeet mentioned here have selected primarily broody breeds for easy self-replication.
There are about 170 wild horses in Montana. The Blackfeet used to use Wild horse Island as a pen.
Blackfeet Buffalo Horses are fast and tough.
These are some mares in the Blackfeet herd. Storm Going is a classic Blackfeet stallion, fast and fearless. His color is mainly grullo with a lush bicolor mane and tail, feral stripes, and speckled socks on his back feet.
Appaloosa can refer to the official breed or to the spotting patterns in the leopard complex genetics. Many tribal horses display appaloosa and/or pinto traits.
Quarter horses are among the most popular all-purpose horses.
Mustangs are feral horses of diverse ancestry, typically small and hardy.
Icelandic horses are spectacular with long double manes and flowing tails. Their five gaits make them marvelous for riding. The stallion is in the middle with his four mares.
Tribal adoptions were the norm before the European Invasion. They are now rare, but still happen occasionally.
