Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 2 This last incident bears a striking similarity to part of an Algonkin myth recorded among the Sauk and Fox by Dr. William Jones.2 Grinnell also records an incident in which Old Man plucks the hair from a fox and sends him out to attract buffalo. The buffalo are killed with laughing at the antics of the fox. While Old Man is butchering, it becomes cold and the fox freezes stiff. The buffalo laughing himself to death occurs in our col lection, but 15 due to the Old Man's acts. 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. 25: Vol. XXV, Part I Still another negative feature merits attention. Several Plains tribes notably the Hidatsa, Blackfoot, and Arapaho utilize widespread tales to account for the origin of rituals. For example, the Blood combine the piqued buffalo wife story with an explanation of the beginning of the Horn society. This type is singularly lacking among the Crow. They have, of course, traditions purporting to explain the origin of ceremonies, but these are plotless narratives of individual Sxperiences with the powers revealing the performances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, 1924: Volumes 21 and 22 Since in culture the Hidatsa differ from the Crow far more than the affinity of the two languages and hence presumable recency of their separa tion would lead us to expect, it seems natural to refer such divergence as exists to Mandan influence on the Hidatsa. This interpretation would lead to thoroughly satisfactory results if we could be sure that recently collected Mandan data indicating cultural identity with the Hidatsa reflect ancient Mandan conditions. Unfortunately, we are frequently without the means of checking our information on account of the inadequacy of the early accounts.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 7 David C. Duvall died at his home in Browning, Montana, July 10, 1911. He was thirty-three years old. His mother was a Piegan; his father a Canadian-French fur trade employe at Ft. Benton. He was educated at Fort Hall Indian School and returned to the Reservation at Browning, where he maintained a blacksmith shop. The writer first met him in 1903 while 'collecting among his people. Later, he engaged him as interpreter. Almost from the start he took an unusual interest in the work. He was of an investigating turn of mind and possessed of considerable linguistic ability. On his own initiative he set out to master the more obscure and less used parts of his mother tongue', having, as he often said, formed an ambition to become its most accurate translator into English. As time went on, he began to assist in collecting narratives and statements from the older people. Here his interest and skill grew so that during the fast year of his life he contributed several hundred pages of manuscript. These papers have furnished a considerable part of the data on the Blackfoot so far published by this Museum and offer material for several additional studies. As they by no means exhaust the field his untimely death is a distinct loss. To this work Mr. Duvall brought no ethnological theories, his whole concern being to render faithfully into English as complete information oh the subjects assigned as could be found among the best informed Indians! Not being in any sense ah adherent of Blackfoot religion, he looked upon all beliefs and ceremonies as curious and interesting phenomena worthy of sympathetic investigation.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 13 The Menomini first came in contact with the whites about the year 1634, when they were visited by the Sieur Jean Nicollet at Green Bay. From that time on their friendship with the whites has been practically unbroken. They refused the successive advances of Pontiac, Tecumseh, and Black Hawk, and assisted materially in causing the downfall of the latter.2 They sided with the English after the withdrawal of the French, although they had previously fought against them on several occasions. One hundred and twenty-nine Menomini warriors were present under Marin at the fall of Fort William Henry in 1757. We find them arrayed with the English against the Americans in 1812, but they joined us against Black Hawk. At a later date, many of them served as volunteers in the Civil War on the side of the Union. Owing to their friendship for the settlers their impor tance in the early history of Wisconsin can hardly be exaggerated. Because of their peaceful attitude towards the white man the Menomini have never been as well known to us as some of their more warlike neighbors, such as the Potawatomi and the Sauk and Fox. The only literature of any importance bearing on them is Hoffman's paper, The Menomini, and the fragmentary, though often very excellent accounts contained in the annual reports Of the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Jesuit Relations. For the past four summers the writer has been engaged in studying the ethnology of this tribe. Through the able and untiring assistance of Mr. John V. Satterlee, United States Government interpreter and chief of In dian police at Keshena, a large amount of data have been gathered. During the course of the work the writer became intimately acquainted with most of the head men of the pagan party. With a feeling of mutual confidence established, it was possible to obtain for the Museum examples of the sacred bundles and their rituals, as well as information about the lesser religious and other concepts.

This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, 1916, Vol. 17 The horse culture complex of the American Indian offers an excellent opportunity to study diffusion, because most of the essential facts are obtainable. The horse was introduced by Europeans at an early date and spread ahead of interior exploration. In particular, many of the tribes west of the Mississippi River became. Horsemen before their discovery by Europeans. The history of horse introduction is briefly outlined in the American Anthropologist, Vol. 16, N o. 1, pp. 1 - 25. The investigation here reported is the intensive study of collections of riding gear and horse-using appliances to be found in anthropological collections. The material avail able in the Museum gives us a representative series for each important tribe in the horse-using area so that we may proceed in confidence. A preliminary statement of the results attained in this study were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 1, p. 254. In the selection and comparison of specimens the writer has been aided by Mr. William A. Sabine, assistant in the Museum, whose great knowledge of specimens and their distribution was indispensable to the task. Other acknowledgments are due to Mr. S. Ichikawa for the illustrations and to my secretary, Miss Bella Weitzner, for gathering reference material.

Data presented in the following papers consist of a series of field notes collected by the writer on two trips to Northern Canada. The first of these, in the summer of 1908, was made by canoe, from Missanabie, a point some Sixty miles north of Lake Superior on the Canadian Pacific Railway, down the Missanabie River to James Bay, thence northeast to Eastmain River, the southern boundary line of Ungava. At the various posts of the Hudson's Bay Company which we visited en route, we met most of the members of the Woods Cree bands of the vicinity, who had come from their far-off hunting grounds to barter their winter's catch of furs. In this way, we were able to interview many Indians residing at remote points in the Ungava wilderness, at Lake Nitchequon, and even beyond.
