content: For an Arikara drawing of the sacred cedar tree similar to that incised on this rattle, see Manuscript 154064B (08510631) in the National Anthropological Archives. Formerly called "Wa-Mnu-Ha," the term for rattle elicited from a group of Sioux visiting the museum while the rattle was erroneously identified as Sioux. Culture identification changed from Sioux to Hidatsa, Arikara, or Mandan by Candace Greene May 2017 based on a full review of the collecting history and consideration of general stylistic traits.
