Black Faces to a location between the Knife
Owners and the All Tall People, and when the
Orphans were formed, they moved to the Knife
Owners' camp.
Although the bands were no longer flexible in
their movements, they were in their naming practises.
Under new conditions, some of the bands
received new names as fresh incidents occurred.
The Followers of the Buffalo, whose name was
outdated, became the Camps in a Bunch. The

Trees were located in one of the most barren and
treeless areas on the Blood Reserve.
