Is the subject of an interesting legend
told by Lone Wolf.s who says:
"Once there were four little children
and o bear took after them. As they
were running away from the bear they
met an old sick buffalo. The buffalo
told the children to run around him
four times, hit him in the head and
then to take four different kinds Of
entrails from his stomach. These they
were to throw into the path Of the bear.
The children did his and the entrails,
becoming petrified into hills and rocks,
stopped the bear. The KiowaS regard
the Black Hills of North Dakota as the
'sadlkae,' or leaf tripe, Of this buffalo"

A strange friendship of two of these

Kiowas-but speaking a language totally
different from the Kiowa tongue.
From Canada Harrington has traced
the Kiowas to Montana, where they
we're living 100 years ago, at the time of
the Lewis Clark expedition. Into the
Black Hills Of South Dakota they roved
from Montana, thence into the Platte
River Valley and on farther South, ex-
tending their food and plumber raids
into the very heart Of Mexico.
Harrington found living with the tribe
on Its reservation white woman, who
was captured as girl in Texas. She
