ed the manner OF life his brother was
leading and he said to himself: tsMy
poor brother, pity thee. While I

where the sun only shines through

XIII many, many buffalos.' .
| The Hidatsa man knowing all that
moved in the mind of his eagle broth
er the ShihWahuma, and being aware
OF all his schemes, got ready to meet
the coming. He knew the time well,
1 when his brother would arrive and
wait the opportunity to kill MIN. He
would surprise him. For that pur-
pose he carried nice, clear water
from the Missouri river into his lodge
/ and covered it with the plants Of the
sweet. wild mint, which grows in the
4 damp, shady places. He filled one
! fiat bowl. braided OF willows, with
dried buffalo meat, pounded fine and
mixed with buffalo fat. and another
with cooked beans, corn and squash

Missouri, or ON the north side, a lit

Il The traditions of the Mandans do
not reach further back, than to the
neighborhood Of the Heart river,
while the Hidatsa know their part
only from their hasitation near the
Big Knife river, 3. r. s.
When the Hidatsa boy was grown
up strong man he became the medi-
cine man Of the Awatichay TAXA,
the AWatichay band Of the Hidatsa
tribe, and his people looked up to
him for help In their need and af-
fections. When the Sioux general
|appellation for enemy were pressing
hard and were looking for fight,
the people came to him, as their
medicine man. begging him for his
powerful aid in gaining the victory.
Then he would take hsi mystery
pipe of red pipestone, which pipe he
never did smoke previously, and roll
ed it on the ground, from himself
towards the enemy. Then the en-,
envy would get scared, the hostiles
would fly and run away and the Hid
atsa after them, and would kill many
and take heaps Of scalps.

prepared with buffalo fat.
During the hot season, when the
crops were suffering for want Of
rain, and the corn stayed short and
the ears small the chiefs would beg
the medicine man to make rain come,
that their crops would grow, the
corn, the beans, the squashes and the
tobacco.
Then he would go to his lodge,
where he always kept his medicine,
would take the mystery pipe from
the bag, hang It on the pole and
burn incense under 1t in a broken
potsherd. Next he would climb to
the top of his lodge by the old fash
Toned ladder, tree with many:
notches leaning against the lodge,
thus forming steps, near the en-
trance of the lodge. There he was
seen. by all the assembled crowd,
while he was holding his incanta-
tions and beating his medicine drum.
He would take the pipe in both Of
his hands by the bowl and point the
stem to the four corners of the earth.
1t would never take long until rain
would come, su ciently to help the
crops. The crops would grow and
the people never starved.
In such way and in many others
he helped his people and his people
had always pleanty to eat, they were
happy and never suffered.
When he slept in the village he
built a round lodge of timbers, clad
with sod and clay outside, and he
made it smooth and nice looking.
His medicine he always hung up
in the medicine bag on the medicine
pole, as you now see it before you.
During all that time the other
eagle brother, who was born Shin
wahuma boy had also become great
medicine man among his people, The
Shihwahuma were wandering tribe,
roaming over the prairies, hunting
and fighting. They lived in teepees
Of buffalo hides and did not stay in
stationary, fortified villages. as the
Hidatsa (the Arikara and the Man
dans) did. This medicine man be-
cause he was a holy man, knew all
things that happened to his eagle
brother, the Hidatsa, as also was the
latter informed of the fate and life
of his brother, the shihwahuma, and
he even could read his brothers.
