Into the burrow of the gopher he places a small upright frame cut from a piece of bark.

There is a groove inside of the frame, and in this the snare runs; and a string is attached to a bough above ground.

Another string, on which some grains of corn are threaded, keeps the snare set and obstructs the gopher's passage through the frame.

When trying to get at the kernels the gopher cuts the string, the snare is released, and he is caught in his own burrow.
Squirrels are hunted in the most primitive way--by cutting down the tree on which an animal is discovered.

Sometimes it will escape when the tree falls, and then the man has to cut down another tree, and thus he may go on felling as many as ten trees before he can bag his game, not a very substantial reward for a whole day's work.
The women make girdles and blankets on primitive looms, inserting characteristic designs in the weaving.
