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.

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.

This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, 1908, Vol. 1 In ancient Peru the mode of attaching single feathers to head-dresses, to plumes (so often found on the false heads of the mummy-bundles), and to similar Objects, was both ingenious and effectual. These ornaments were usually made of rather short feathers, which necessitated the addition of something to the shaft to increase its length; and this added material must be of sufficient stiffness to support the feather in an upright position. For this purpose a piece of rush, or stout cord of vegetable fibre or cotton, was generally used. One of the most common forms is shown in Fig. 1, a. The end-oi the quill is bent over upon itself; the cord or rush is passed in between the two parts Of the shaft (carried around it from left to right), passing over the cord, and up under it on the left-hand side. When this knot is drawn taut, the two parts of the quill are held tightly together. In some cases the cord was carried several times around the shaft before being knotted. Frequently the quill was split, and half of its cylinder removed, before bending it over. Fig. 1, b, shows this knot firmly drawn and the ends of the cord twisted together. When a piece of rush was used and twisted in this manner, and allowed to dry, it was generally stiff enough to support the feather in the required position. When this was not the case, or when a cord of other vegetable fibre lacking the required stiffness, or cotton, was employed, a second piece was frequently added, which was attached in one of the two ways shown in Fig. 1, c. It was either passed between the two parts of the first cord, just above the quill or around the shaft, just below the knot The ends were then brought up and twisted, together, forming the third cord, and the three were braided, as in Fig. 1, d.

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, 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.

Excerpt: ...and decorations, to produce rain or fog to mask his movements. medicine powers White-dog was believed to possess and his easy death naturally demonstrated the superior power of the pipe bundle. Returning to the point at issue, it appears that while the public has some interest in maintaining the pipe bundle and in theory receives benefits from the same, its chief function seems to be the protection of its owner and the enhancement of his social and religious position among the people. The Ovmer. The owner of a pipe bundle is spoken of as a medicine-pipe man (nina'mpskan kwe'niman, usually contracted to nina'mpskan). The name also applies after the ritual has been transferred, though in speaking, the phrase construction when possible is in the past tense, thus distinguishing between the real and the ex-owner. The ex-pipe-man may be called in to officiate at the opening of the bundle and may also receive a bundle into his tipi for temporary care during the incapacity of the owner; but no other person can lead the ceremony no matter how familiar he may be with the ritual. A pipe-man receives great social, religious, and even political recognition, being regarded as of the first rank and entitled to the first seat in a tipi: i. e., opposite the man of the household. As this is disputed by the owners of beaver bundles, a question to be considered later, we may safely assert that he is among the highest ranks in respect to the ownership of rituals. The wife of a pipe-man should be honored and given a seat not lower than that of the head-wife of her host. If possible, everyone is. expected to pass behind a pipe-man whether in a tipi or on the road. In theory at least, the same rules should be observed toward his wife. All loud and boisterous...

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 7: Part I, the Social Life of the Blackfoot Indians The names of Blackfoot bands are not animal terms but characterizations in no wise different from tribal names. Those of the Assiniboine, Gros Ventre, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and teton-dakota are, so far as reported, essentially of the same class. It seems then that the name system for these bands is the same among these neighboring tribes of the area and that it is an integral part of the whole system of nomenclature for groups of individ uals. This may be of no particular significance, yet it is difficult to see in it the ear marks of a broken-down clan organization; it looks for all the world like an economic or physical grouping of a growing population.

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.
