Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 11: Societies of the Plains Indians Anthropological Papers American Museum of Natural History. [v0]. XI, The seven chiefs, often assisted by the four shirt wearers and the whole chiefs society, elect four officers (wakic'un) to organize and control the camp. All except the four shirt wearers are eligible to this office. These men serve for about one year. It seems to have been the custom to te-elect two or three of them so as to have experienced men in office. In former times, the tendency was for the people to scatter out in winter, but early in the spring the camp circle was formed and its government organized. This was initiated by the selection of the wakicun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 16: Sun Dance of the Plains Indians The last Crow sun dance dates back to about forty years ago, for with the Old warfare disappeared the sole raison d'etre Of the performance from the Crow point Of view. The notes presented in this paper are therefore not at all based on personal Observation. Moreover, as none of the main performers survived to the time when I began my inquiries in 1907, the following account is based on the statements of mere eye-witnesses and participants who played a minor part. Within the limitations thus imposed, the data seem satisfactory. I recorded independent descriptions of the entire ceremony by Gray-bull, Muskrat, Bear-gets-up, the F ire-weasel couple, Bear-crane, and others; and the accounts given in 1910 by the two informants heading this list were checked by having them repeat their narratives from beginning to end in the following summer. Ralph Saeo (bighorn District), Henry Russel (pryor), Robert Yellowtail (lodge Grass), and James Carpenter (lodge Grass) are the interpreters who assisted me during this work. I am under special Obligations to James Carpenter, who spared no pains in ascertaining additional facts from various native authori ties and gave me the benefit Of the information thus obtained by his own efforts.
