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 +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page583" id="page583"></a>[pg 583]</span> +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.)</p> + +<hr /> + + + + +<h2>DETAILS OF A CONJURER'S PRACTICE.</h2> + +<h3 class="sc">In the Klamath Lake Dialect.

One kind of these lodges, +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page587" id="page587"></a>[pg 587]</span> +intended for the use of mourners only, are solid structures, almost underground; +three of them are now in existence, all believed to be the +gift of the principal national deity. Sudatories of the other kind are +found near every Indian lodge, and consist of a few willow-rods stuck +into the ground, both ends being bent over. The process gone through +while sweating is the same in both kinds of lodges, with the only difference +as to time. The ceremonies mentioned 4-13. all refer to sweating +in the mourners' sweat-lodges. The sudatories of the Oregonians have +no analogy with the <i>estufas</i> of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, as far +as their construction is concerned.</p> + +<p><b>586</b>, 1. lápa spú'klish, two sweat-lodges, stands for two <i>kinds</i> of sweat-lodges.</p> + +<p><b>586</b>, 5. shashámoks=lólatko forms <i>one</i> compound word: one who, or: +those who have lost relatives by death; cf. ptísh=lúlsh, pgísh=lúlsh; +hishuákga ptísh=lúlatk, male orphan whose father has died. In the +same manner, ḵĕlekátko stands here as a participle referring simultaneously +to híshuaksh and to snáwedsh wénuitk, and can be rendered +by "<i>bereaved</i>". Shashámoks, distr. form of shá-amoks, is often pronounced +sheshámaks. Túmi etc. means, that many others accompany +to the sweat-lodge, into which about six persons can crowd themselves, +bereaved husbands, wives or parents, because the deceased +were related to them.</p> + +<p><b>586</b>, 7. Shiúlakiank etc. For developing steam the natives collect +only such stones for heating as are neither too large nor too small; a +medium size seeming most appropriate for concentrating the largest +amount of heat. The old sweat-lodges are surrounded with large accumulations +of stones which, to judge from their blackened exterior, +have served the purpose of generating steam; they weigh not over 3 to +5 pounds in the average, and in the vicinity travelers discover many +small cairns, not over four feet high, and others lying in ruins. The +shrubbery around the sudatory is in many localities tied up with willow +wisps and ropes.</p> + +<p><b>586</b>, 11. Spukli-uápka mā'ntch means that the sweating-process is +repeated many times during the five days of observance; they sweat +at least twice a day.</p> + +<hr /> + + + +<h2>A DOG'S REVENGE.</h2> + +<h3 class="sc">A Dakota Fable, by Michel Renville.

This word "hduze" means <i>to take</i> or <i>hold one's own;</i> and is +most commonly applied to a man's taking a wife, or a woman a husband. +Here it may mean either that one who starts in a wicked course +consorts with others "more wicked than himself," or that he himself +grows in the bad and takes hold of the greater forms of evil—<i>marries</i> +himself to the wicked one.</p> + +<p>It will be noted from this specimen of Dakota that there are some +particles in the language which cannot be represented in a translation. +The "do" used at the end of phrases or sentences is only for emphasis +and to round up a period. It belongs mainly to the language of young +men. "Wo" and "po" are the signs of the imperative.</p> + + +<h3>TRANSLATION.</h3> + +<p>There was a dog; and there was an old woman who had a pack of +dried meat laid away. This the dog knew; and, when he supposed the +old woman was asleep, he went there at night. But the old woman was +aware of his coming and so kept watch, and, as the dog thrust his head +under the tent, she struck him across the face and made a great gash, +which swelled greatly.</p> + +<p>The next morning a companion dog came and attempted to talk with +him. But the dog was sullen and silent. The visitor said: "Tell me +what makes you so heart-sick." To which he replied: "Be still, an old +woman has treated me badly." "What did she do to you?" He answered: +"An old woman had a pack of dried meat; this I saw and +went for it; and when it was now far in the night, and I supposed she +was asleep, I went there and poked my head under the tent. But she +was lying awake and cried out: 'Shoo! what are you doing here?' and +struck me on the head and wounded me as you see."</p> + +<p>Whereupon the other dog said: "Alas! Alas! she has treated you +badly, verily we will eat up her pack of meat. Call an assembly: call +<i>Water-mist</i> (<i>i.e.</i>, rain); call <i>Bite-off-silently</i>; call <i>Strong-neck</i>; call +<i>Sharp-knife</i>." So he invited them all. And when they had all arrived, +he said: "Come on! an old woman has treated this friend badly; bestir +yourselves; before the night is past, the pack of dried meat which she +prizes so much, and on account of which she has thus dealt with our +friend, that we will eat all up".</p> + +<p>Then the one who is called <i>Rain-mist</i> caused it to rain, and it rained +all the day through until dark; and the tent was all drenched, and the +holes of the tent-pins were thoroughly softened. Then <i>Bite-off-silently</i> +bit off all the lower tent-fastenings, but he did it so quietly that the old +woman knew nothing of it. Then <i>Strong-neck</i> came and seized the pack +with his mouth, and carried it far away. Whereupon <i>Sharp-knife</i> came +and ripped the pack through the middle; and so, while it was yet night, +they ate up the old woman's pack of dried meat.</p> + +<p><i>Moral</i>.—A common thief becomes worse and worse by attaching himself +to more daring companions. This is the myth.</p> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page590" id="page590"></a>[pg 590]</span> + + +<h3>INDEX.</h3> + +<div class="poem"> <div class="stanza"> +<p>Conjurers' practice <a href="#page583">583</a><br /></p> +<p>Dog's revenge, a Dakota fable <a href="#page587">587</a><br /></p> +<p>Omaha myth <a href="#page581">581</a><br /></p> +<p>Revenge, A dog's; a Dakota fable <a href="#page587">587</a><br /></p> +<p>Sweat lodges <a href="#page586">586</a><br /></p> + </div> </div> +<hr class="full" /> + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Illustration Of The Method Of +Recording Indian Languages, by J.O.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
