Description
This program consists of a translation from English into Hidatsa of a narrative given to the researcher in the late 1920s or early 1930s. The researcher and consultant spend the first 6:15 discussing the consultant's medicine bundle, a variety of pine used for smoking, and the details of the story they are to translate. The text from which the researcher reads is found in his own book, "Hidatsa Social and Ceremonial Organization." (See Related Resource.); In the gap between this program and the program that follows it, approximately 1/4 of a page of content from the original text is missing. The 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 81, channel 3.
