When Bird Woman recounted the story of her abduction by the Hidatsas, on page 170, she explained how they killed most of her people, but "The young women, like me, were spared." Why do you think only the young women were spared?
I think they spared the young women because they wouldn't fuss as much as the men. Also they would get the work done faster because they are more persistent than the men.
Because the people probably thought that woman worked harder than men, so they could get their work done easier.
