lieutenant dunbar's arrival this day is different from the ones which have gone before. dances with wolves is wandering through the village, half- heartedly looking for stands with a fist. the day is very hot and the village is quiet. most of the people have gone to shade. stands with a fist is walking through the village with kicking bird's youngest child. they're both carrying armloads of firewood. the lodge flap is still closed. but now it is covered in sunshine. the whole camp is being struck. there is activity everywhere.
