Experience had demonstrated the propriety of some changes in the alphabet and a considerable enlargement of the scheme as given in the first edition of the work, and in the second Major Powell has made many modifications. The schedule of relationship was so large that graphic representation was considered necessary, and charts were prepared which it was thought both the student and the Indian could follow it with comparative ease. Experience has shown that the idea was well founded.

As in the first edition, blank spaces were given after each schedule for such additions as might suggest themselves to the collector; and to further facilitate the work separate alphabet cards of convenient size accompanied the volume.

This publication has not been long enough in the hands of collectors to meet with great returns, though a sufficient number have been received, filled or partly filled, to justify the Bureau in anticipating, in the not distant future, the receipt of a body of material prepared according to scientific methods which, when published, will prove a valuable contribution to this branch of ethnologic research.

NOTES.

581, 1. Mactciñge, the Rabbit, or Si¢e-makaⁿ (meaning uncertain), is the hero of numerous myths of several tribes. He is the deliverer of mankind from different tyrants. One of his opponents is Ictinike, the maker of this world, according to the Iowas. The Rabbit’s grandmother is Mother Earth, who calls mankind her children.

581, 7. a¢ai te aⁿ. The conclusion of this sentence seems odd to the collector, but its translation given with this myth is that furnished by the Indian informant.

581, 12. haⁿ+egaⁿtcĕ-qtci, “ve--ry early in the morning.” The prolongation of the first syllable adds to the force of the adverb “qtci,” _very_.

582, 3. hebe ihe a¢e-hnaⁿ-biama. The Rabbit tried to obey the Sun; but each time that he attempted it, he was so much afraid of him that he passed by a little to one side. He could not go directly to him.

582, 4. 5. maⁿciaha aia¢a-biama. When the Rabbit rushed forward with bowed head, and cut the bow-string, the Sun’s departure was so rapid that “he had _already_ gone on high.”

TRANSLATION.

Once upon a time the Rabbit dwelt in a lodge with no one but his grandmother. And it was his custom to go hunting very early in the morning. No matter how early in the morning he went, a person with very long feet had been along, leaving a trail. And he (the Rabbit), wished to know him. “Now,” thought he, “I will go in advance of the person.” Having arisen very early in the morning, he departed. Again it happened that the person had been along, leaving a trail. Then he (the Rabbit) went home. Said he, “Grandmother, though I arrange for myself to go first, a person anticipates me (every time). Grandmother, I will make a snare and catch him.” “Why should you do it?” said she. “I hate the person,” he said. And the Rabbit departed. When he went, the foot-prints had been along again. And he lay waiting for night (to come). And he made a noose of a bow-string, putting it in the place where the foot-prints used to be seen. And he reached there very early in the morning for the purpose of looking at his trap. And it happened that he had caught the Sun. Running very fast, he went homeward to tell it. “Grandmother, I have caught something or other, but it scares me. Grandmother, I wished to take my bow-string, but I was scared every time,” said he. He went thither with a knife. And he got very near it. “You have done wrong; why have you done so? Come hither and untie me,” said the Sun. The Rabbit, although he went thither, was afraid, and kept on passing partly by him (or, continued going by a little to one side). And making a rush, with his head bent down (and his arm stretched out), he cut the bow-string with the knife. And the Sun had already gone on high. And the Rabbit had the hair between his shoulders scorched yellow, it having been hot upon him (as he stooped to cut the bow-string). (And the Rabbit arrived at home.) “Itcitci+!! O grandmother, the heat has left nothing of me,” said he. She said, “Oh! my grandchild! I think that the heat has left nothing of him for me.” (From that time the rabbit has had a singed spot on his back, between the shoulders.)

DETAILS OF A CONJURER’S PRACTICE.

as sign his outside “of him.”

Kukíaks tchû´tanish gátp’nank wigáta

tchélχa mā´shipksh. [3]
sit down the patient.

Lútatkish wigáta kíukshĕsh tcha’hlánshna.
The expounder close to the conjurer sits down.

Shuyéga kíuks, wéwanuish tchīk winóta
Starts choruses the conjurer, females then join in singing

liukiámnank nadshā´shak tchûtchtníshash.
crowding around him simultaneously while he treats (the sick).

Hánshna
He sucks

[584]

mā´shish hû´nk hishuákshash,
diseased that man,

tátktish î´shkuk, hantchípka tchī´k kukuága,
the disease to extract, he sucks out then a small frog,

wishinkága, mû´lkaga, ḵáḵo gî´ntak,
small snake, small insect, bone afterwards,

whatsoever anything small.

Ts’û´ks toks ké-usht tchékĕle ítkal;
A leg being fractured the (bad) blood he extracts;

lúlp toks mā´shisht [3]
eyes but being sore

tchékĕlitat lgû´m shû´kĕlank ḵî´tua lû´lpat,
into blood coal mixing he pours into the eyes,

kû´tash tchish kshéwa lúlpat pû´klash
a louse too introduces into the eye the white of eye

tuiχámpgatk ltúiχaktgi gíug.
protruding for eating out.

NOTES.

583, 1. shuákia does not mean to “_call on somebody_” generally, but only “_to call on the conjurer_ or medicine man”.

583, 2. wán stands for wánam nī´l: the fur or skin of a red or silver fox; kaníta pî´sh stands for kanítana látchash m’nálam: “outside of his lodge or cabin”. The meaning of the sentence is: they raise their voices to call him out. Conjurers are in the habit of fastening a fox-skin outside of their lodges, as a business sign, and to let it dangle from a rod stuck out in an oblique direction.

583, 3. tchélχa. During the treatment of a patient, who stays in a winter house, the lodge is often shut up at the top, and the people sit in a circle inside in utter darkness.

583, 5. liukiámnank. The women and all who take a part in the chorus usually sit in a circle around the conjurer and his assistant; the suffix -mna indicates close proximity. Nadshā´shak qualifies the verb winóta.

583, 5. tchûtchtníshash. The distributive form of tchû´t’na refers to each of the _various_ manipulations performed by the conjurer on the patient.

584, 1. mā´shish, shortened from māshípkash, mā´shipksh, like ḵ’lä´ksh from k’läkápkash.

584, 2. 3. There is a stylistic incongruity in using the distributive form, only in kukuàga (kúe, _frog_), káhaktok, and in nshendshkáne (nshekáni, npshékani, tsékani, tchékĕni, _small_), while inserting the absolute form in wishinkága (wíshink, _garter-snake_) and in ḵáḵo; mû´lkaga is more of a generic term and its distributive form is therefore not in use.

584, 2. káhaktok for ká-akt ak; ká-akt being the transposed distributive form kákat, of kát, which, what (pron. relat.).

584, 4. lgû´m. The application of remedial _drugs_ is very unfrequent in this tribe; and this is one of the reasons why the term “conjurer” or “shaman” will prove to be a better name for the medicine man than that of “Indian doctor”.

584, 4. kû´tash etc. The conjurer introduces a louse into the eye to make it eat up the protruding white portion of the sore eye.

tsúi kíuks nä´-ulakta tchutánuapkuk.
then the conjurer concludes to treat (him).

Tchúi tchúta; tchúi yá-uks huk

finds out (that) relapsed he.

Tchí huk shuî´sh sápa. Tsúi nā´sh shuī´sh
Thus the song-remedy indicates. And one song-remedy

(that) him the spider (-remedy) would cure.

Tchúi hû´k káltchitchiks yá-uka;
Then the spider treats him;

ubá-us hûk káltchitchiksam tchutĕnō´tkish.
a piece of deer-skin of the spider (is) the curing-tool.

Tsúi húkantka ubá-ustka tchutá;
Then by means of that deer-skin he treats (him);

tätáktak huk [6] kálak mā´sha,
just the size of the spot that relapse is infected,

gä´tak ubá-ush ktû´shka tä´tak huk mā´sha.
so much of deer-skin he cuts out as where he is suffering.

Tsúi hûk káltchitchiks siunóta
Then the “spider” song is started

nä´dsḵank hû´nk ubá-osh.
while applying that skin piece.

Tchû´yuk p’laíta nétatka skútash,

tsúi sha hû´nk udû´pka hänä´shishtka,

Tsí ní sáyuakta; [12] túmi hû´nk sháyuakta
Thus I am informed; many men know

hû´masht=gîsht tchutī´sht;
(that) in this manner were effected cures;

tsúyuk tsúshni wä´mpĕle.
and he then always was well again.

NOTES.

585, 1. náyäns hissuáksas: another man than the conjurers of the tribe. The objective case shows that mā´shitk has to be regarded here as the participle of an impersonal verb: mā´sha nûsh, and mā´sha nû, it ails me, I am sick.
