Characterized by an amiability that quickly won +the confidence of the Indians, possessed of unbounded enthusiasm, +and gifted with remarkable aptitude in discriminating and imitating +vocal sounds, he at once took up the study of the native language, +and, during the ensuing two years, familiarized himself with the +Ponka and cognate dialects; at the same time he obtained a rich +fund of information concerning the arts, institutions, traditions, and +beliefs of the Indians with whom he was brought into daily contact. +In August, 1873, his field work was interrupted by illness, and he +returned to his home in Maryland and assumed parish work, meantime +continuing his linguistic studies. In July, 1878, he was induced by +Major Powell to resume field researches among the aborigines, and +repaired to the Omaha reservation, in Nebraska, under the auspices of +the Smithsonian Institution, where he greatly increased his stock of +linguistic and other material. When the Bureau of Ethnology was +instituted in 1879, his services were at once enlisted, and the remainder +of his life was devoted to the collection and publication of ethnologic +material, chiefly linguistic. Although most of his energies were devoted +to the Siouan stock, he studied also the Athapascan, Kusan, Takilman, +and Yakonan stocks; and while his researches were primarily linguistic, +his collections relating to other subjects, especially institutions and +beliefs, were remarkably rich. His publications were many, yet the +greater part of the material amassed during his years of labor remains +for elaboration by others. The memoir on "Siouan Sociology," which +was substantially ready for the press, is the only one of his many manuscripts +left in condition for publication. He died in Washington, +February 4, 1895, of typhoid fever, at the early age of 47.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="text-align: right; margin-bottom: 1.00em">WJM.</p> +</div> + +<hr class="doublepage" /><div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 5.00em; margin-top: 5.00em"> +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page208">[pg 208]</span><a name="Pg208" id="Pg208" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +<h1 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 3.46em; margin-top: 3.46em"><span style="font-size: 173%">ALPHABET</span></h1> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">a, as in <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">father</span></span>.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">'a, an initially exploded a.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">ă, as in <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">what</span></span>, or as <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">o</span></span> in <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">not</span></span>.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">'ă, an initially exploded ă.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">ä, as in <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">hat</span></span>.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">c, as <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">sh</span></span> in <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">she</span></span>.

Among the tribes of the Siouan family the primary +unit is the clan or gens, which is composed of a number of consanguinei, +claiming descent from a common ancestor and having common +taboos; the term clan implying descent in the female line, while gens +implies descent in the male line. Among the Dakota, as among the +¢egiha and other groups, the man is the head of the family.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Several of the Siouan tribes are divided into two, and one (the +Osage) is divided into three subtribes. Other tribes are composed of +phratries, and each subtribe or phratry comprises a number of gentes. +In some tribes each gens is made up of subgentes, and these in turn +of a lower order of groups, which are provisionally termed sections for +want of a better designation. The existence of these minor groups +among the Omaha has been disputed by some, though other members +of the tribe claim that they are real units of the lowest order. Among +the Teton many groups which were originally sections have become +gentes, for the marriage laws do not affect the original phratries, +gentes, and subgentes.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The state, as existing among the Siouan tribes, may be termed a +kinship state, in that the governmental functions are performed by +men whose offices are determined by kinship, and in that the rules +relating to kinship and reproduction constitute the main body of the +recognized law. By this law marriage and the mutual rights and +duties of the several members of each body of kindred are regulated. +Individuals are held responsible, chiefly to their kindred; and certain +groups of kindred are in some cases held responsible to other groups +of kindred. When other conduct, such as the distribution of game +taken in the forest or fish from the waters, is regulated, the rules or +laws pertaining thereto involve, to a certain extent, the considerations +of kinship.</p> + +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page214">[pg 214]</span><a name="Pg214" id="Pg214" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The legislative, executive, and judicative functions have not been +differentiated in Indian society as found among the Siouan groups. +Two tendencies or processes of opposite character have been observed +among the tribes, viz, consolidation and segregation. The effects of +consolidation are conspicuous among the Omaha, Kansa, Osage, and +Oto, while segregation has affected the social organization among the +Kansa, Ponka, and Teton. There have been instances of emigration +from one tribe to another of the same linguistic family; and among the +Dakota new gentes have been formed by the adoption into the tribe of +foreigners, i.e., those of a different stock.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Two classes of organization are found in the constitution of the +state, viz, (1) major organizations, which relate directly to government, +and (2) minor organizations, which relate only indirectly to government. +The former embraces the state functionaries, the latter comprises +corporations.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Although the state functionaries are not clearly differentiated, three +classes of such men have been recognized: chiefs, policemen or soldiers, +and young men or "the common people." The chiefs are the +civil and religious leaders of the masses; the policemen are the servants +of the chiefs; the young men are such as have not distinguished +themselves in war or in any other way. These last have no voice in +the assembly, which is composed of the chiefs alone. Among the +Omaha there is no military class, yet there is a war element which is +regulated by the Elk gens. The ¢ixida gens and part of the Nika<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-weight: 700">d</span></span>aɔna +gens of the Ponka tribe are considered to be the warriors of the +tribe, though members of other gentes have participated in war. In +the Kansa tribe two gentes, the Large Hañga and the Small Hañga, +form the phratry connected with war, though warriors did not necessarily +belong to those gentes alone. In the Osage camping circle all +the gentes on the right side are war gentes, but the first and second, +reckoning from the van, are the soldiers or policemen; while all the +gentes camping on the left are associated with peace, though their first +and second gentes, reckoning from the van, are policemen or soldiers. +Among the Omaha both officers and warriors must be taken from the +class of "young men," as the chiefs are afraid to act as leaders in war; +and among both the Omaha and the Ponka the chiefs, being the civil +and religious leaders of the people, can not serve as captains, or even +as members, of an ordinary war party, though they may fight when +the whole tribe engages in war. Among the Dakota, however, chiefs +have led in time of war.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Corporations among the Siouan tribes are minor organizations, indirectly +related to the government, though they do not constitute a part +of it. The Omaha, for instance, and perhaps other tribes of the family, +are organized into certain societies for religious, industrial, and other +ends. There are two kinds of societies, the brotherhoods and the +feasting organizations. The former are the dancing societies, to some +of which the physicians belong.</p> + +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page215">[pg 215]</span><a name="Pg215" id="Pg215" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Social classes are undifferentiated. Any man can win a name and +rank in the section, gens, phratry, tribe, or nation by bravery in war or +by generosity in the bestowal of presents and the frequent giving of +feasts. While there are no slaves among the Siouan tribes, there are +several kinds of servants in civil, military, and religious affairs.</p> +</div> + +<div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 5.00em; margin-top: 5.00em"> +<a name="toc3" id="toc3"></a> +<a name="pdf4" id="pdf4"></a> +<h1 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 3.46em; margin-top: 3.46em"><span style="font-size: 173%">THE DAKOTA TRIBES</span></h1> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"></p> + +<div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 4.00em; margin-top: 4.00em"> +<a name="toc5" id="toc5"></a> +<a name="pdf6" id="pdf6"></a> +<h2 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 2.88em; margin-top: 2.88em"><span style="font-size: 144%">DESIGNATION AND MODE OF CAMPING</span></h2> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Dakota call themselves Otceti cakowi<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span> (Oćeti śakowiɳ<a id="noteref_1" name="noteref_1" href="#note_1"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style="font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">1</span></span></a>), The +Seven Fireplaces or Council-fires.

With +the exception of the Hidatsa, Mandau, and Arikara, who are stationary +and live in a manner together, the neighboring tribes are quite +ignorant of one another's government, rarely knowing even the names +of the principal chiefs and warriors.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In all these tribes there is no such thing as hereditary rank. If a +son of a chief is wanting in bravery, generosity, or other desirable +qualities, he is regarded merely as an ordinary individual; at the same +time it is true that one qualification for the position of chief consists +in having a large number of kindred in the tribe or gens. Should +there be two or more candidates, equally capable and socially well connected, +the question would be decided on the day of the first removal +of the camp, or else in council by the principal men. In the former<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page224">[pg 224]</span><a name="Pg224" id="Pg224" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +case, each man would follow the leader whom he liked best, and the +smaller body of Indians would soon adhere to the majority.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Women are never acknowledged as chiefs, nor have they anything +to say in the council. A chief would be deposed for any conduct causing +general disgust or dissatisfaction, such as incest (marrying within +his gens) or lack of generosity. Though crime in the abstract would +not tend to create dissatisfaction with a chief, yet if he murdered, +without sufficient cause, one whose kindred were numerous, a fight +between the two bodies of kindred would result and an immediate +separation of his former adherents would ensue; but should the murdered +person be without friends, there would be no attempt to avenge +the crime, and the people would fear the chief only the more. To preserve +his popularity a chief must give away all his property, and he is +consequently always the poorest man in the band; but he takes care +to distribute his possessions to his own kindred or to the rich, from +whom he might draw in times of need.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The duties of a leading chief are to study the welfare of his people, +by whom he is regarded as a father, and whom he addresses as his +children. He must determine where the camp should be placed and +when it should be moved; when war parties are advisable and of whom +they should be composed—a custom radically different from that of the +Omaha and Ponka,—and all other matters of like character. Power is +tacitly committed to the leading chief, to be held so long as he governs +to general satisfaction, subject, however, to the advice of the soldiers. +Age, debility, or any other natural defect, or incapacity to act, advise, +or command, would lead a chief to resign in favor of a younger man.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">When war is deemed necessary, any chief, soldier, or brave warrior +has the privilege of raising and leading a war party, provided he can +get followers. The powers of a warrior and civil chief may be united +in one person, thus differing from the Omaha and Ponka custom. The +leading chief may and often does lead the whole band to war; in fact, +it devolves on him to lead any general expedition.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Akitcita (Akićita), soldiers or guards (policemen), form an important +body among the Asiniboin as they do among the other Siouan +tribes. These soldiers, who are chosen from the band on account of +their bravery, are from 25 to 45 years of age, steady, resolute, and +respected; and in them is vested the power of executing the decisions +of the council. In a camp of 200 lodges these soldiers would number +from 50 to 60 men; their lodge is pitched in the center of the camp and +is occupied by some of them all the time, though the whole body is +called together only when the chief wishes a public meeting or when +their hunting regulations are to be decided. In their lodge all tribal +and intertribal business is transacted, and all strangers, both white +men and Indians, are domiciled. The young men, women, and children +are not allowed to enter the soldiers' lodge during the time that tribal +matters are being considered, and, indeed, they are seldom, if ever,<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page225">[pg 225]</span><a name="Pg225" id="Pg225" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +seen there. All the choicest parts of meat and the tongues of animals +killed in hunting are reserved for the soldiers' lodge, and are furnished +by the young men from time to time. A tax is levied on the camp for +the tobacco smoked there, which is no small quantity, and the women +are obliged to furnish wood and water daily. This lodge corresponds in +some degree to the two sacred lodges of the Hañga gens of the Omaha.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Judging from the meager information which we possess concerning +the Asiniboin kinship system, the latter closely resembles that of the +Dakota tribes, descent being in the male line. After the smallpox +epidemic of 1838, only 400 thinly populated lodges out of 1,000 +remained, relationship was nearly annihilated, property lost, and but +few, the very young and very old, were left to mourn the loss. Remnants +of bands had to be collected and property acquired, and several +years elapsed ere the young people were old enough to marry.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The names of the wife's parents are never pronounced by the husband; +to do so would excite the ridicule of the whole camp. The husband +and the father-in-law never look on each other if they can avoid it, nor +do they enter the same lodge. In like manner the wife never addresses +her father-in-law.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A plurality of wives is required by a good hunter, since in the labors +of the chase women are of great service to their husbands. An Indian +with one wife can not amass property, as she is constantly occupied in +household labors, and has no time for preparing skins for trading. The +first wife and the last are generally the favorites, all others being +regarded as servants. The right of divorce lies altogether with the +husband; if he has children by his wife, he seldom puts her away. +Should they separate, all the larger children—those who require no +further care—remain with the father, the smaller ones departing with +the mother. When the women have no children they are divorced +without scruple.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">After one gets acquainted with Indians the very opposite of taciturnity +exists. The evenings are devoted to jests and amusing stories +and the days to gambling. The soldiers' lodge, when the soldiers are not +in session, is a very theater of amusement; all sorts of jokes are made +and obscene stories are told, scarcely a woman in the camp escaping +the ribaldry; but when business is in order decorum must prevail.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The personal property of these tribes consists chiefly of horses. +Possession of an article of small value is a right seldom disputed, if the +article has been honestly obtained; but the possession of horses being +almost the principal object in life of an Indian of the plains, the retention +of them is a matter of great uncertainty, if he has not the large force +necessary to defend them. Rights to property are based on the method +of acquirement, as (1) articles found; (2) those made by themselves +(the sole and undisputed property of the makers); (3) those stolen from +enemies, and (4) those given or bought. Nothing is given except with<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page226">[pg 226]</span><a name="Pg226" id="Pg226" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +a view to a gift in return. Property obtained by gambling is held by +a very indefinite tenure.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Murder is generally avenged by the kindred of the deceased, as +among the Omaha and Ponka. Goods, horses, etc, may be offered to +expiate the crime, when the murderer's friends are rich in these things, +and sometimes they are accepted; but sooner or later the kindred of +the murdered man will try to avenge him. Everything except loss of +life or personal chastisement can be compensated among these Indians. +Rape is nearly unknown, not that the crime is considered morally wrong, +but the punishment would be death, as the price of the woman would +be depreciated and the chances of marriage lessened. Besides, it would +be an insult to her kindred, as implying contempt of their feelings and +their power of protection. Marriage within the gens is regarded as +incest and is a serious offense.</p> +</div> + +<div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 5.00em; margin-top: 5.00em"> +<a name="toc45" id="toc45"></a> +<a name="pdf46" id="pdf46"></a> +<h1 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 3.46em; margin-top: 3.46em"><span style="font-size: 173%">THE OMAHA</span></h1> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The gentes keeping the sacred pipes and those having the sacred +tents are designated among the Omaha by appropriate designs.

No Kansa could take a wife from a gens on his side of the +tribal circle, nor could he marry any kinswoman, however remote the +relationship might be. There are certain gentes that exchange personal +names (jaje kik'übe au), as among the Osage. Civil and military +distinctions were based on bravery and generosity. Say informs us +that the Kansa had been at peace with the Osage since 1806; that they +had intermarried freely with them, so that "in stature, features, and +customs they are more and more closely approaching that people." +He states also that the head chief of the Kansa was Gahi<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span>ge Wadayiñga, +Saucy Chief (which he renders "Fool Chief"), and that the ten +or twelve underchiefs did not seem to have the respect of the people.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Unmarried females labored in the fields, served their parents, carried +wood and water, and cooked. When the eldest daughter married +she controlled the lodge, her mother, and all the sisters; the latter were +always the wives of the same man. Presents were exchanged when a +youth took his first wife. On the death of the husband the widow +scarified herself, rubbed her person with clay, and became careless +about her dress for a year. Then the eldest brother of the deceased +married her without any ceremony, regarding her children as his own. +When the deceased left no brother (real or potential) the widow was +free to select her next husband. Fellowhood (as in cases of Damon +and Pythias, David and Jonathan) often continues through life.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Kansa had two kinds of criers or heralds: 1, the wadji'pa<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span>yi<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span> +or village crier; 2, the ie'kiye'(Omaha and Ponka i'ĕki'¢ĕ.

Afterward presents +of equal value are commonly returned by the wife's relations, if they +have the means of so doing and are satisfied with the conduct of the husband. +Some travelers have represented that the "marriage by purchase" +among the Indians is a mere sale of the woman to the highest bidder, +whose slave she becomes. Matthews regards this a misrepresentation +so far as it concerns the Hidatsa, the wedding gift being a pledge to +the parents for the proper treatment of their daughter, as well as an +evidence of the wealth of the suitor and his kindred. Matthews has +known many cases where large marriage presents were refused from +one person, and gifts of much less value accepted from another, simply +because the girl showed a preference for the poorer lover. Marriages +by elopement are considered undignified, and different terms are applied +to a marriage by elopement and one by parental consent. Polygamy +is practiced, but usually with certain restrictions. The husband of the +eldest of several sisters has a claim to each of the others as she grows +up, and in most cases the man takes such a potential wife unless she +form another attachment. A man usually marries his brother's widow, +unless she object, and he may adopt the orphans as his own children. +Divorce is easily effected, but is rare among the better class of people +in the tribe. The unions of such people often last for life; but among +persons of a different character divorces are common. Their social +discipline is not very severe. Punishments by law, administered by the<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page243">[pg 243]</span><a name="Pg243" id="Pg243" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +"soldier band," are only for serious offenses against the regulations of +the camp. He who simply violates social customs in the tribe often +subjects himself to no worse punishment than an occasional sneer or +taunting remark; but for grave transgressions he may lose the regard +of his friends. With the Hidatsa, as with other western tribes, it is +improper for a man to hold a direct conversation with his mother-in-law; +but this custom seems to be falling into disuse.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The kinship system of the Hidatsa does not differ materially from +that of any of the cognate tribes. When they wish to distinguish +between the actual father and a father's real or potential brothers, or +between the actual mother and the mother's real or potential sisters, +they use the adjective ka'ti (kaɥtɔi), real, true, after the kinship term +when the actual parent is meant.</p> +</div> + +<div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 5.00em; margin-top: 5.00em"> +<a name="toc72" id="toc72"></a> +<a name="pdf73" id="pdf73"></a> +<h1 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 3.46em; margin-top: 3.46em"><span style="font-size: 173%">THE CROW OR ABSAROKA</span></h1> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">As this tribe belongs to the Hidatsa linguistic substock, it is very +probable that the social laws and customs of the one people are identical +with those of the other, as there has been nothing to cause extensive +differentiation.</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is not known whether the Hidatsa and Crow tribes ever camped +in a circle.

When the +few survivors were visited by the author at Lecompte, Louisiana, in +1892 and 1893, they gave him the names of three of the clans of the +Biloxi, descent being reckoned in the female line. These clans are: 1, +Ita a<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span>yadi, Deer people; 2, O<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span>ʇi a<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span>yadi, Bear people; 3, Naqotod¢a +a<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="vertical-align: super">n</span></span>yadi, Alligator people. Most of the survivors belong to the Deer +clan. The kinship system of the Biloxi is more complicated than that +of any other tribe of the stock; in fact, more than that of any of the<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page244">[pg 244]</span><a name="Pg244" id="Pg244" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +tribes visited by the author. The names of 53 kinship groups are still +remembered, but there are at least a dozen others whose names have +been forgotten. Where the ¢egiha language, for example, has but one +term for grandchild, and one grandchild group, the Biloxi has at least +fourteen. In the ascending series the Dakota and ¢egiha do not have +any terms beyond grandfather and grandmother. But for each sex the +Biloxi has terms for at least three degrees beyond the grandparent. +The ¢egiha has but one term for father's sister and one for mother's +brother, father's brother being "father," and mother's sister "mother." +But the Biloxi has distinct terms (and groups) for father's elder sister, +father's younger sister, father's elder brother, father's younger brother, +and so on for the mother's elder and younger brothers and sisters. The +Biloxi distinguishes between an elder sister's son and the son of a +younger sister, and so between the daughter of an elder sister and a +younger sister's daughter. A Biloxi man may not marry his wife's +brother's daughter, nor his wife's father's sister, differing in this respect +from a Dakota, an Omaha, a Ponka, etc; but he can marry his deceased +wife's sister. A Biloxi woman may marry the brother of her deceased +husband. Judging from the analogy furnished by the Kansa tribe it +was very probably the rule before the advent of the white race that a +Biloxi man could not marry a woman of his own clan.</p> +</div> + +<div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 5.00em; margin-top: 5.00em"> +<a name="toc76" id="toc76"></a> +<a name="pdf77" id="pdf77"></a> +<h1 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 3.46em; margin-top: 3.46em"><span style="font-size: 173%">THE TUTELO</span></h1> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is impossible to learn whether the Tutelo ever camped in a circle. +The author obtained the following clan names (descent being in the +female line) from John Key, an Indian, on Grand River reservation, +Ontario, Canada, in September, 1882: On "one side of the fire" were +the Bear and Deer clans, the Wolf and Turtle being on the other side. +John Key's mother, maternal grandmother, and Mrs Christine Buck +were members of the Deer clan.
