Another time, a while back, my brother, we are playing ball in the summer and well, they’re barefoot.  The shoes are piled over there.  They don’t want to wear them.  They’re barefoot when we’re playing ball; we’re playing ball.  And so, it just so happened there was a piece of broken glass there.  And he goes and gets a cut in his foot right on his heel.  Big [cut] I think… it was 2 inches [or] 3 inches long where he cut his foot.  Did he ever look awful.  So my mother bandaged him up.  That happened right here.  So, “what shall we [do]?” she says.  So she ran up to the farm.  This old lady, up the hill here, her name was ‘Lobzan’kwe’ (her nickname).  She run up to the farm, quickly.  “That darn boy got his foot cut,” she tells her.  So I don’t know what to put on it, maybe some kind of herbal brew (he can drink).  So, that’s what she brought out, that, um, salve.  And she also told her, “if you have any salt pork,” um, {prompter: rind} – yes, rind – “you’ll rinse that,” she told her.  “Then you’ll put it on his cut [as a poultice], after you put this salve there.  Then that’s what you’ll put there, pork rind,” she told her.  “You’ll bandage him up well.” So that’s what she did, she put a poultice on him.  This guy healed so quickly.  And, it closed up where his foot was cut.  See how it was.
