" Samuel heard Siinti-on Parkar, but he knew who it was. She had starved herself to death in the house of her white relatives. They took her captive and Peta Nocona’s child Topsannah and they both died in the house where they kept them. She was with us for twenty-five years. You take captives too and so it is hard to listen to what you have to say. She was my aunt, the girl my cousin, and now they are dead. “That’s different,” said Samuel. “We only took her back again.” But you did not get back her brother. His taibo name was Chon Parkar, and they took him but he got away and came back to us, his people. “I know.” Samuel nodded politely and made a conciliatory gesture. “Adults who have spent their lives with you will be able to make their choices. It is only fair. But they must be brought in so we can see they are not being held against their will.”
