OWEN DORSEY. + + + + + +INTRODUCTION. + + +When the author visited the Osage, in the Indian Territory, in January, +1883, he learned of the existence of a secret society of seven degrees, in +which, it was alleged, the traditions of the people have been preserved to +the present time. Owing to the shortness of his visit, one month and +eleven days, he was unable to gain more than fragmentary accounts of the +society, including parts of two traditions, from several Osage who had +been initiated. + +The version of the first tradition was dictated to the author by +Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ue{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se (Red Corn), a halfbreed Osage of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e gens. He +obtained it from Sa*d*ekice. Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ue{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se was adopted in childhood by a +white man named Matthews, who sent him to a Jesuit college in Missouri(?) +to be educated for the priesthood. But the boy left the institution after +he had been taught to read and write, as he did not wish to become a +priest. He took the name of William P. Matthews, but among his white +associates he is known as Bill Nix. He has tried several occupations and +is now an Indian doctor. The author was inclined at first to underrate Mr. +Matthews's accomplishments and stock of information, but subsequently +changed his opinion of him, as he obtained much that agreed with what had +been furnished by members of other tribes in former years. Besides, the +author obtained partial accounts of similar traditions from other Osage, +who used the same chant which Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ue{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se had sung. None of the younger +Osage men knew about these matters and the author was urged not to speak +to them on this subject. He observed that several of the elder men, +members of the secret order in which these traditions are preserved, had +parts of the accompanying symbolic chart (Fig. 389) tattooed on their +throats and chests. This chart is a fac simile of one that was drawn for +the author by Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ue{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se. At the top we see a tree near a river. The +tree is a cedar, called the tree of life. It has six roots, three on each +side. Nothing is said about this tree till the speaker nearly reaches the +end of the tradition. Then follows the "ceremony of the cedar." The tree +is described very minutely. Then follows a similar account of the river +and its branches. + + [Illustration: FIG. 389. Symbolic chart of the Osage.] + + FIG. 389. Symbolic chart of the Osage. + + +Just under the river, at the left, we see a large star, the Red or Morning +Star. Next are six stars, Taca*d*cin. The Omaha know a similar group, +which they call "Minxa si {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}anga," or "Large foot of a goose." Next is the +Evening Star; and last comes the small star, "Mikak'e-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}in{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a." Beneath +these four we see the seven stars, or Pleiades (Mikak'e u*d*atse +pecun*d*a, the Seven Gentes of Stars), between the Moon (on the left) and +the Sun (on the right). Beneath these are the peace pipe (on the left) and +the hatchet (on the right). A bird is seen hovering over the four upper +worlds. These worlds are represented by four parallel horizontal lines, +each of which, except the lowest one, is supported by two pillars. The +lowest world rests on a red oak tree. + +The journey of the people began at a point below the lowest upper world, +on the left side of the chart. Then the people had neither human bodies +nor souls, though they existed in some unknown manner. They ascended from +the lowest upper world, on the left, to the highest. There they obtained +human souls in the bodies of birds, according to Sa*d*ekice. +{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayin{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a said that there they met a male red bird, to whom they +appealed for aid. (See p. 383, line 18.) This was distinct from the female +Red Bird, who gave them human bodies. They descended to the first world, +and from that they traveled until they alighted on the red oak tree. (See +p. 383, line 30.) The ground was covered with grass and other kinds of +vegetation. Then the paths of the people separated: some marched on the +left, being the peace gentes that could not take life; they subsisted on +roots &c.; while those on the right killed animals. By and by the gentes +exchanged commodities. + +The small figures on the left, in going from the tree (on the right when +facing the tree), show the heavenly bodies or beings to whom the Black +Bear went for help, and those on the right, in going from the tree (on the +left when facing the top of the chart), show similar bodies or beings to +whom the Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e or war gentes applied for assistance. These are unknown to +the members of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gentes. After the female red bird gave bodies to +the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u people, the Black Bear found seven skins, which were used for +tents. Subsequently the people discovered four kinds of rocks, which were +the In'qe sa*d*e, or black rock; In'qe tuhu,(1) or blue (green?) rock; +In'qe {~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ue{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, or red rock; and In'qe ska, or white rock. Therefore, when a +child is named, four stones are heated for the sweat bath. After finding +the rocks, according to {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayin{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a, four buffalo bulls approached +the people, as one of the men was returning to the company. When the first +bull arose after rolling on the ground, an ear of red corn and a red +pumpkin fell from his left hind leg. The leader of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e +noticed them, and asked his younger brother to pick them up and taste +them. The leader of the Bald Eagle subgens did so. Then the elder brother +said: "These will be good for the children to eat. Their limbs will +stretch and increase in strength." When the second bull arose after +rolling, an ear of spotted corn and a spotted pumpkin dropped from his +left hind leg. These, too, were tasted and declared good for the children. +When the third bull arose after rolling, an ear of dark corn and a dark +(black?) pumpkin dropped from his left hind leg. From the left hind leg of +the fourth buffalo dropped an ear of white corn and a white pumpkin. +Therefore, when a child is named in the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gens (alone?) the head man +of that gens ({~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayin{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a himself, according to his statement) takes +a grain of each kind of corn and a slice of each variety of pumpkin, which +he puts into the mouth of the infant. Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}ue{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se knew that the four +kinds of rocks were found, "but he could not say in what part of the +tradition the account belonged. He said that subsequently the Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e and +Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gentes came to the village of the Han'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a-utacan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, a very war-like +people, who then inhabited earth lodges. They subsisted on animals, and +bodies of all kinds lay around their village, making the air very +offensive. The Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u succeeded at last in making peace with the +Han'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a-utacan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se. After this followed the part of the account given to the +author by {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayin{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a: + +"After the council between the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u, Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e, and Han'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a-utacan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, two +old men were sent off to seek a country in which all might dwell. One of +these was a Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e and the other a Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka-wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e. Each man +received a pipe from the council and was told to go for seven days without +food or drink. He carried a staff to aid him in walking. Three times a day +he wept, in the morning, at noon, and near sunset. They returned to the +people at the end of the seven days, being very thin. The report of the +Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u man was accepted, so the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gens is superior to the +Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka-wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e or Watsetsi. A Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e man acted as crier and told all about +the new home of the nation. All the old men decorated their faces with +clay. The next morning the two old men who had gone in search of the new +home led their respective sides of the nation, who marched in parallel +roads. When they reached the land the policemen ran around in a circle, +just as they do previous to starting to war. The Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e man ran around +from right to left and the cuqe man from left to right. At different +stations the two old leaders addressed the people. Finally the men took +sharp pointed sticks, which they stuck into the ground, each one saying 'I +wish my lodge to be here.' The next day the Cuka or messenger of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u +old man went to summon the Elk crier. The latter was ordered to make a +proclamation to all the people, as follows: 'They say that you must remove +to-day! Wakan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}a has made good weather! They say that you must remove today +to a good land!' In those days the Osage used dogs instead of horses. When +the old Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u man made his speech, he went into details about every part +of a lodge, the fireplace, building materials, implements, &c. Four sticks +were placed in the fireplace, the first pointing to the west. When this +was laid down, the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u leader spoke about the West Wind, and also about +a young buffalo bull (Tse{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}u'-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}in{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a), repeating the name Wani'e-ska. When +the stick at the north was laid down, he spoke of Tsehe qu{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se (gray +buffalo horns) or a buffalo bull. When the stick at the east was laid down +he spoke of Tse{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}u{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a tan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a (a large buffalo bull). On laying down the +fourth stick at the south, he spoke of Tse min{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a (a buffalo cow). At the +same time a similar ceremony was performed by the aged Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka man on the +right side of the tribe.(2) + +"In placing the stick to the east, Ta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}aqpa tse, The East Wind, and +Tahe ca*d*e, Dark-Horned Deer, were mentioned; to the north, Ta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se *P*asan +tse, The North Wind, and The Deer with gray horns were mentioned; to the +west, Ta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se Man'ha tse, The West Wind, and an animal which makes a lodge +and is with the Tahe pasi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e were mentioned; to the south, T]a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se Ak'a tse, +The South Wind, and Ta wanka he a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ca{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}i skutan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a were mentioned."(3) + +{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayin{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a gave no further information, as a reported case of +smallpox near the agency led the author to start for the East February 21, +1883. Since then he has learned of the existence of similar societies +among the Kansa and the Ponka, and he suspects that there were formerly +such societies among the Omaha.(4) + + + + + +TRADITIONS OF THE ELDERS. + + +In presenting the accompanying traditions, the following abbreviations are +used in the interlinear translations: + +an., _animate_. +cv., _curvilinear_. +du., _dual_. +in., _inanimate_. +mv., _moving_. +ob., _object_. +pl., _plural_. +recl., _reclining_. +sing., _singular_. +st., _sitting_. +std., _standing_. +sub., _subject_. + + + + +UNUn'UcA{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}E.

These things are +only wa-wi'-ku-ska'-ye [symbols] of something higher." On saying this he +pointed to the sky. + +Apart from such traditions or myths, it is found that even the taboos and +the names of the gentes, subgentes, phratries, and persons are objects of +mysterious reverence among many, if not all, of the Siouan tribes. Such +names are never used in ordinary conversation. This is especially the case +in tribes where the secret society continues in all its power, as among +the Osage, the Ponka, and the Kansa. When the author was questioning these +Indians he was obliged to proceed very cautiously in order to obtain +information of this character, which was not communicated till they +learned about his acquaintance with some of the myths. When several Dakota +delegations visited Washington he called on them and had little trouble in +learning the names of their gentes, their order in the camping circle, +&c., provided the interpreters were absent. During his visit to the Omaha, +from 1878 to 1880, he did not find them very reticent in furnishing him +with such information, though he was generally referred to the principal +chief of each gens as the best authority for the names in his own +division. But he found it very difficult to induce any of them to admit +that the gentes had subdivisions, which were probably the original gentes. +It was not till 1880, and after questioning many, that by the merest +accident he obtained the clew from the keeper of a sacred pipe. + +The Iowa, who have these social divisions and personal names of mythic +significance, also have sacred songs, but these are in the Winnebago +language. It is probable that they are the property of a secret order, as +they, too, show how some of the gentes descended as birds from the upper +world. The names of the Winnebago gentes and of some members of the tribe +have been recorded by the author, who has also learned parts of their +traditions. He infers that their secret society has not been abolished. + +When a man of the Kansa tribe observed that the author had an inkling of +the matter he related part of the tradition of that tribe, explaining the +origin of the names and the taboos of several Kansa gentes. The ancestors +of these gentes were spoken of as birds which descended from an upper +world. The phratries in that tribe, the "Wa-yun min-'dun," or "(Those who) +sing together," refer to mystic songs and strengthen the view that the +secret society exists among these Indians. Several members of the tribe +have positively stated its existence. + +As one phratry is composed of the two gentes, Large and Small Hanka, that +have the sole right to sing the war songs, time may show that these songs, +which, with their chart of pictographs(23), are used by the Osage, are +substantially those of the seventh degree in the Osage society. This is +rendered the more probable by the fact that the Kansa have grouped their +gentes in seven phratries, just the number of the degrees in the society. +And this arrangement by sevens is the rule among Osage, Kansa, Ponka, +Omaha, and Dakota, though there are apparent exceptions. + +Further investigation may tend to confirm the supposition that in any +tribe which has mythic names for its members and its social divisions (as +among the Osage, Kansa, Quapaw, Omaha, Ponka, Iowa, Oto, Missouri, Tutelo, +and Winnebago), or in one which has mythic names only for its members and +local or other names for its social divisions (as among the Dakota, +Assiniboin, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Crow), there are now or there have been +secret societies or "The Mysteries." + + + + + + +FOOTNOTES + + + 1 The sound of this inverted u, between o and u, as well as the sounds + of other letters used in this article, except that of the inverted {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~} + (which is a sound approximating ch in the German word ich), is to be + found on page 206, Third Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. + + 2 It is probable, however, that the Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka (Ponka) man began with the + stick at the east, as he must use the right hand and foot first. + + 3 Meaning uncertain; it may refer to the female or doe. + + 4 See "Omaha Sociology," §§ 14-16, 19, 28, 33, 34, 36, 56, 143, + 248-258, and passim, in Third Annual Report of the Director of the + Bureau of Ethnology. + + 5 The literal rendering of the title is "Growth told. Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u Peacemaker + theirs." This may be translated freely by "Revelations of the elders + of the Red Eagle gens." + + 6 Oin'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a weha{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ice, "The first end of the children" or "The beginning + of the race." This reckoning was backward. The Ponka have a similar + usage: uhange, _an end_; uhange pahanga te, _the first end_ or + _beginning_. Adintau, formed by crasis from a*d*e and intau, may + refer to the words of the old men who have handed down these + traditions. Tsika is unintelligible to the younger Osage of the + present day. One man told the author that he thought it meant, "O + grandfather," being addressed to the principal Wakan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}a. He said that + it was substituted for another name of that being. + + 7 The chorus or refrain at the end of each line is omitted in the free + translation, as it would make confusion. If retained, the first four + lines would read thus: + + The first of the race: he really said, O grandfather! + + He was saying, "Ho, younger brother! the children have no bodies": + he really said, O grandfather! + + "We shall seek bodies for our children": he really said, O + grandfather! + + "Ho, younger brother! you shall attend to it": he really said, O + grandfather! + + 8 E{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}i anka refers to the preceding words, which were those of one of + the mythic speakers. He was an ancestor of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gens. Here he + addressed his younger brother.

This water was dried up + by the ancestors of the Elk people, according to the tradition of + the Upqan or Elk gens; but this is disputed by the members of the + I*d*ats'e gens, who are Kansa or Wind people. They say that their + ancestors blew on the water, drying it up and causing the growth of + vegetation. As soon as the water was gone the Bald Eagle people + alighted on the ground. Then they met the Black Bear, who offered to + become the servant of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e people. So he was sent to + "Watse-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}u{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a, who was a red star; then to Watse-min{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a, a star near + the Morning Star; then to the Sun, Moon, and Seven Stars. As the + people journeyed, the Black Bear said to the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u leader, 'Brother, + I see a man's trail. Here is the man.' The stranger said, 'I am a + young Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a. I am fit for work.' So they took him with them. Then + they saw another trail, of which the Black Bear spoke to the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u + leader. They overtook the man, who was Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}aqtsi or Real Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a. By + and by they reached the village of the Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a utacan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se. They entered + the village and made peace with the inhabitants. Then the leader of + the Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a utacan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se said, 'We have some people come to us, and we + will make them our chiefs.' So the two wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e were made chiefs. The + wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e were then sent to search for a land where they might dwell, + as the village of the Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a utacan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se was filthy and offensive on + account of the dead bodies in and around it. This council was the + first one of the whole nation. The two wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e went out as mourners + for seven days. The Han{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e (Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka = Ponka) came back first, + saying, 'I have found a place.' Afterwards the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e + returned and reported. The council was held again to decide to which + place they would go. They agreed to settle at the place visited by + the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e. Then four standards were made by members of the + Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e (wanun gens, two for each side of the tribe.

In + this latter tradition the appeals to the heavenly bodies and to the + Red Bird were made before the journey to the four revolutions of the + upper worlds. + + 21 Here is where the two roads begin. + + 22 At this point begins the account of the Female Beaver.

We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not +received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or +determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have +not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against +accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us +with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any +statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the +United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods +and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including +checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please +visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. + + + General Information About Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. + + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with +anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} eBooks are often created from several printed editions, +all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright +notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance +with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook +number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed +(zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the +old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + + http://www.gutenberg.org + + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}, including how +to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, +how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email +newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + + + + + +***FINIS*** +
