- Source: Jacob Twoyoungmen Date: July 20, 1952 Interviewed by: Peter and Catharine Whyte Speed: 7 ½ Remarks: Two tapes: both have Indigenous people telling story of Eagle Feathers; Jon Whyte also present. “Jacob Two Youngmen telling stories of Indian people catching eagles and Fire Wagon” Side A: “Jacob Twoyoungmen telling about how the Indian people used to catch the eagles for feathers” – eagles would eat until they can’t fly; Indian people used to trap them when they started going south, in October; Indian people would fins a resting place, dig a hole, get in it, then cover the person up, Then they would kill a dog and split it open; the eagle sees the dog and swoops down. Eagles can smell humans and can see very slight movement – have to wait a week to catch an eagle. “Moses Snow (5) telling how he won the slow race. Annie Beaver Twoyoungmen talking to Moses” Side B: Continuation of interview with Jacob Twoyoungmen. “Jacob telling about the Indian peope seeing Fire Wagon”
