Description: This program consists of a Hidatsa word list elicited by the reading of English terms and phrases from the Mandan-English section of Robert C. Hollow's Mandan dictionary.

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 75, channel 1. When transferred to RDAT tape, the original recording spanned the end of one tape and the beginning of the subsequent one. As a result, there is a small gap in the recording at 02:01:11. Three seconds of silence were inserted to reflect the gap of missing original material, which is of underdetermined length, though likely no more than a few seconds.
