Here we see that, as with white men,
Some are amiable, polite men;
No one wicked and defiant
Could have been a wigwam giant.

The Wigwam Giants
He had a wife and ten children
Once upon a time, in the not-so-very-long-ago, an Indian had his wigwam on the shore of a cold north sea. The Indian’s name was Pulowech, and he had a wife and ten children. But for all his big family, Pulowech might have lived there as snugly and happily as you please, had it not been for the unkind fact that, in that north country, it is very hard to get enough to eat. Pulowech found it hard indeed, for no sooner was the tenth child fed, than the first one was hungry again; and the bigger and hungrier the children got, the less food there seemed to be.
