It’s tough for a guy such as Duvall - who inhabits a 42-foot houseboat anchored on the Missouri River at Lupus - to follow the rules when he knows people need help.

Stephanie Woodard. “An economy grows on the northern Plains.” Indian Country Today, 6 September 2005.
Their buffalo economy of times past is, of course, legendary. However, during the reservation era, when most buffalo had been exterminated, the people moved into hamlets along the Missouri River and its tributaries - diversifying their former lifeways by taking advantage of the rich resources of the riparian areas. In the fertile, tree-sheltered swaths, they hunted deer and small game, fished, planted gardens, gathered culinary and healing plants, raised cattle and other farm animals and availed themselves of driftwood and fallen timber for heating, cooking and building.
