What does Cole do after working on his shelter?

In Chapter Nineteen, while Cole is constructing his shelter, he becomes irritated. In a fit of anger, he tells Edwin and Garvey that he won’t cook them food or do the wolf dance. They threaten to return him to Minnesota, since he had broken part of the agreement, and then Cole immediately returns to do everything they ask. The two men retire to the tent while Cole does the wolf dance on his own. The lesson of the wolf dance is “that you need the help of others, like a wolf pack.”
