A long time ago, some women went up to the top of Mission Mountain to pick berries. They also went to dig wild potatoes. The men had gone hunting.

The ladies must鈥檝e been digging wild potatoes when a grizzly attacked them. The younger ladies were running away but the old woman said, 鈥淜eep going, just keep looking after yourselves! I鈥檓 just gonna stay here and kill the grizzly bear.鈥�

So she took off her little hat, she wrapped it on her digging stick. The grizzly bear began to squeeze her, and so she stuck the digging stick in its mouth. The harder the bear tried to squeeze her, the deeper the little hat that was wrapped around the stick went down its throat. The grizzly kept doing that until it fell down dead. The ones that ran away were watching her from afar, they watched as the grizzly fell back dead.

It was a long time before they came back to see what had happened to the woman who killed the grizzly bear. The grizzly had run out of breath because the little hat went deep down in its throat. It couldn鈥檛 spit it out again. She told the other ones that had come to dig potatoes 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how we do things. Don鈥檛 just look after yourselves, think before you act.鈥�

And the men that went out hunting came back. They saw the grizzly bear there, dead. There was no wound where it got hit. So they asked the women: 鈥淗ow did you do it?鈥� The old woman said, 鈥淗e choked on my hat and he ran out of breath.鈥� The men laughed at the women and they said, 鈥淲e went a long ways to hunt and we never caught anything. But you women, you didn鈥檛 have any guns, and you killed a grizzly bear.鈥�

That鈥檚 it.
