On this day, British ‘well wishers’ who caught their own men invading Haudenois territory bring them to the local akwashë. They insist that the violators should be held by the Haudenois for their blatant disregard for border agreements. The akwashë refuse since no trustworthy evidence was presented but the British also refuse to take their captives back. All seem rather sick and malnourished and the British play on the Haudenois humility by leaving the men out in the snow. The akwashë reluctantly has the supposed violators brought in and has them taken care of, intending to eventually send them to a nearby labour force.
