“I am N!ai. When the white people first came, I was already a young woman with breasts. Before the white people came, we did what our hearts wanted. We lived in different places, far apart, and when our hearts wanted to travel, we traveled. We were not poor; we had everything we could carry. No one told us what to do.
Now the white people tell us to stay in this place. There are too many people. There鈥檚 no food to gather. Game is far away, and people are dying of tuberculosis.
But when I was a little girl, we left sickness behind us when we moved.”

“But,鈥� I asked, 鈥� why insult a man after he has gone to all that trouble to track and kill an animal and when he is going to share the meat with you so that your children will have something to eat?鈥�
鈥淎rrogance,鈥� was his cryptic answer.
鈥淎谤谤辞驳补苍肠别?鈥�
鈥淵es, when a young man kills much meat, he comes to think of himself as a chief or a big man, and he thinks of the rest of us as his servants or inferiors. We can鈥檛 accept this. We refuse one who boasts, for someday his pride will make him kill somebody. So we always speak of his meat as worthless. This way we cool his heart and make him gentle.”
