Feather
“Small bands wandered in from all directions until more than three hundred people filled the plain. All brought food to share from their summer raiding.
They were not all alike. Feather could see that they were a motley bunch, united only for convenience. They were the outcasts of other tribes, she guessed, and had made a wild, bullying tribe of their own. In the evenings they gathered to feast and tell of their exploits. During the day the men who wore the necklace went out to hunt game to ...replenish the meat supply.
Feather had the unpleasant task of helping Hana and some other women butcher the game. She was surprised that the men were successful day after day and brought enough to feed all the people. There was even some left over to dry for their journey.
