The balance of the year was called Pesllwélsten (October-November). During this time people travel to the mountains and take meat for the winter. Marmot are hunted for their meat and their furs. They also gather cranberries and soapberries. By late in this moon, the people have descended from their mountain hunting territories. They are laden with the goods which they had gathered during their last outing of the year. Families, separated through the busy summer, are reunited, and gather in ceremony to renew their beliefs.
