Only 120yrs ago my people would swap and share a wife. Our traditional enemies would even bite the nose off their wives if they were guilty of adultery. The women were possessions, and when the whiskey traders came we would sell them so we could get good and drunk. Oh yes, those were the days my friends, thank God they came to an end with the arrival of the men in the scarlet serge.
