Weaver also discusses his brother's (Sandy and Albert) allotments, witnessing a "drunken sale," and how affidavits were used to legally declare Native Americans "half-breeds" in order to sell their land. He talks about the payments Native Americans received for their lands and describes how, after the lands were "sold," Native families often gathered together into Bureau of Indian Affairs towns. Weaver also identifies a picture of a medicine man who lived to 114 and discusses the assassination of the anti-allotment chief Bagonegiizhig (Hole in the Day).
