Star, to an earth lodge, where he finds the
four, namely Wind, Cloud. Thunder and
Lightning. These teach him how to live.
They give him a buffalo to kill and q sa-
cred bundle containing seed; they taught
him how to make hoes from the shoulder
blade of a buffalo, and the corn ceremonies.
The boy carried the seed to the people.
The Arikaras had their own explanation
of the gift Of corn to humanity. They said
the gods made people, some giants and
some little people. The giants becoming
wicked, a food was sent to destroy them.
The little people, however, being, good,
were saved by animals who took them un-
der the ground. After the flood subsidized,
the animals, or Mother Corn, led the little
people out of the ground and into the Mis-
souri, valley.
1t is interesting to note that the sacred
ear of corn, belonging to the Cheyennes,
was lost when Colonel Mckenzie captured
Dull Knife's village on the Tongue river.
The Buffalo First
The Omahas believed the buffalo was
found first, and then corn. A man roam
ing about found some blue, red and white
kernels. Thinking them valuable, he hid
them in the ground and mounded earth
over them. He went to get them later, and
was surprised to find some stalks bearing
kernels like those he found. He took the
ears and gave them to the people. On eat
Ing 1t they pronounced it good, and ever
since that time have planted it, always In
mounds, like that where the kernels we're
first hidden.
Varieties of Mandan Corn
OF the different varieties of corn raised
by the Mandans. VIII and Hyde offer the
following az a partial list.
soft Yellow. Flour corn. Height of
stalk about 3h IT,, ears borne 8 to II
inches above ground. Suckers heavily,
bears leaves on end of ears and has many
false ears; In 1914 ripe and hard in 80
days at Bismarck. Ears 8-rowed, in a
good season 6 to 7 in. long.

tened grotesque efhgies of some of their
gods. This was the Mandan sacred lodge.
Their Agricultural Pursuits
That the Mandans cultivated the ground
and raised corn and vegetables is proved
by the earliest accounts given of them by
travellers and explorers. La Verendrye, In
1888, says: Their fort is full of caves, In
which are stored such articles as grain,
food, fat, dressed robes, bearskins. = .
They brought me every day more than 20
dishes of wheat (meaning CORN, beans and
pumpkins, all cooked"
La Raye (1801-02), says: "These people
raise corn, beans, melons, pumpkins and
tobacco. Their tobacco differs from that
raised by white people. 1t has a smaller
stalk that grows about IS inches high, with
long, narrow leaves, used only for smok-
Ing"
In 1911, Bradbury says II have not seen,
even in the United States, any crop of In
dian corn In finer order or better managed
The Origin of Corn
or the origin of corn, according to Will
and Hyde In Corn Among the Indians
the Pawnees had this tradition. The Gre
ator was known as Tirawa; his wife being
Atira, which interpreted means Comes
from-Corn." Tirawa set the Evening Star
Bright Star-in the west, to be the moth
err of all things. The Great Star-the Morn
ing Star-was placed in the east, and is to
be a warrior. In Bright Stars garden
everything on earth is created, animals,
birds, etc, and even sunshine. The four
servants of Bright Star who take these to
the earth are, Wind, Cloud, lightning and
Thunder. From the marriage of Morning
and Evening Star a girl Is born in winter.
The Sun marries the Moon and their son
is born in summer. This girl and boy are
sent to the earth and marry. Other human
beings are created by stars. and dispatched
to earth to keep the first couple company.
Each couple is given by the star that Gre
ated them a sacred bundle which contains
an ear of sacred corn. One version of this

Two applications for reduced rates Oh

After the last smallpox scourge In 1887,
when the tribe was reduced to less than
80 persons, the Mandans never recovered
their strength. Today. living about the
mouth of the Little Missouri river, there

in the northwest yellow, and those in the
southeast red. The pawnees feared Tirawa,
