:38:01
I'm not trying
to get at you, Archie.

:38:03
You said it yourself...
soon there'll be no beaver left.

:38:08
We can't just leave them to die.
:38:11
Everything dies.
:38:14
Flies get eaten by fish, fish get eaten
by otters, otters get eaten by wolves.

:38:19
I've seen a bear kill a wolf...
rip out its guts to eat.

:38:22
I've seen men kill bears,
:38:25
and I've seen a man
three weeks dead covered in flies.

:38:30
Kill a deer for meat...
I understand that.

:38:35
Kill beaver to make yourself a coat
so you don't freeze to death...

:38:38
I understand that.
:38:40
But killing as a trade,
to make money?

:38:44
You're better than that, Archie.
:38:48
Forest Indians have
always been trappers.

:38:51
- Did they always trap animals for trade?
- Sure.

:38:54
Archie, that's not true,
and you know it.

:38:58
The old Indian way was
you killed only what you needed.

:39:02
It was the white traders
who taught us to kill for money.

:39:04
We never even had money
before the white man came.

:39:08
You're a woman.
You're town-raised.

:39:13
You wouldn't understand.
:39:17
Whatever you say, Archie.
