CONTENT DESCRIPTION
AbstractThis program consists of a Hidatsa word list elicited by the reading of English entries in Robert C. Hollow's Mandan dictionary. (See Related Resource.) This program covers pgs. 378-379. Some of the English entries are skipped. The Mandan equivalents from the dictionary are infrequently given. Includes occasional discussion of context and usage of given words, as well as occasional comments on Hidatsa social life and customs.This recording session is interrupted at 13:37 by a knock on the door of the consultant's house. This is followed by a conversation in Hidatsa between the consultant and three women requesting his assistance at a funeral. The conversation continues through 19:41. The recording concludes with a discussion in English between the researcher and consultant regarding the Hidatsa conversation.
NoteThe Hidatsa language is referred to on the recording by one of its alternate names, "Gros Ventre." This Gros Ventre is not to be confused with the Atsina language of the same name. This program was originally recorded on the collector's original tape 72, channel 1.
