Return of the nighthawk in the spring (1887)
Nighthawks return after other birds in spring, and people would anxiously wait for them. When the nighthawks fly back, it is time to hunt again, because their return is the message that the animals have fattened up.
Following one another, a Lakota game (1887)
Children have a game where everyone has to follow the leader. No matter what the leader does, whoever is following must do it as well. If someone misses a step or doesn't do the same thing, they are eliminated from that round of the game.
Tramping on the beaver, a game (1887)
Children have a game where someone lays on the ground under a blanket and is a beaver. The rest of the children stomp and sing; once the singing stops, the beaver then jumps up and chases them. If someone is caught they become a beaver as well.
Coasting (1887)
A winter activity that children take part in is snow sledding on bone-and-animal-hide sleds. Mostly boys play this game, but sometimes girls play as well. After a certain age, people will shame you if you try to go sledding.
Goose and her children, a game (1887)
In summer boys would play a game where one was a hunter and all others were geese. The geese could swim and dive and go ashore while the hunter tried to catch them. When boys were caught they were asked how many children they had and then were dunked.
