While men are off in search of game the women make bead work of a most
bewitching order, meanwhile watching the pappoose, fastened completely in
its wooden bead-covered cradle, only the head protruding. The cradle is
hung from a lodge pole or the bough of a tree, rattles and bells playing
in the breeze. Other women gather in the shade and play the game of plum
stone, a gambling game. They use the stones of the wild plum, which they
colour with fanciful devices, and toss them up in a wooden bowl.
