content: From card: "Used in dance by "White Weasel." Buffalo horn and skin of a white weasel. Held up in dance when buffalo meat was scarce. "This buffalo horn was given me by an old man named "White Weasel". The skin attached like his name is a white weasel skin - and is what they call a medicine horn, and was used in their dances for Buffalo when the meat was scarce in camp; as our preachers pray for rain in a drouth. This was held up, and the dance was a movement of the body with a chant on a short song.""
