Knitted For Braves

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 26.-Again
the truth of the old saying, There
is nothing new under the sum- Is
proven. This time by the tale of an
aged squaw of the Hidatsas tribe. told
to Gilbert Livingstone Wilson, Phi. D..
OF the University Of Minnesota, and
revealed by him in bulletin on an.
thropological subjects. Knitting for
the soldiers was an ancient pastime
of the young squaws OF long ago, che
says, and free verse was chanted by
them at their work. Prof. Wilson
quotes one of the verses:
You, young man of the Dog society,
you said to me,
When l go to the east on a war party,
you will hear
News of me- how brave | ann
i have heard news of you;
When the fight was on, you ran and
hid,
And you think you are a brave young
Behold. you have joined the Dog so
ciety;
Therefore, l call you just plain dog"
This is one of the songs composed
by the maidens as they sat in the
cornfields knitting with porcupine
quilts garments for the warriors. &C.
cording to Buffalo Bird Woman, Prof
Wilson's informant. The song and the
movements of their arms as they
worked frightened away the crows
which would carry off grain badly
needed by the tribe in war time-the
first food conservation movement car
ried On by women, according to Buff
falo Bird Woman.
Many interesting details Of Indian
gardening and folk lore of the Dakota
tribe are contained in the bulletin.
