		Matonabbee immediately gave Hearne a suit of otter and other skins; ordered his own women to prepare additional clothes; directed Hearne to a nearby supple of material for snowshoes and sleds; gave a feast in his honour, thus raising his sagging prestige; and asked if he intended to try to find the Coppermine again.
