OWEN DORSEY.\n\n\n\n\n\nINTRODUCTION.\n\n\nWhen the author visited the Osage, in the Indian Territory, in January,\n1883, he learned of the existence of a secret society of seven degrees, in\nwhich, it was alleged, the traditions of the people have been preserved to\nthe present time. Owing to the shortness of his visit, one month and\neleven days, he was unable to gain more than fragmentary accounts of the\nsociety, including parts of two traditions, from several Osage who had\nbeen initiated.\n\nThe version of the first tradition was dictated to the author by\nHa*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}\u00fc{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se (Red Corn), a halfbreed Osage of the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wact\u00e1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e gens. He\nobtained it from Sa*d*eki\u00a2e. Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}\u00fc{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se was adopted in childhood by a\nwhite man named Matthews, who sent him to a Jesuit college in Missouri(?)\nto be educated for the priesthood. But the boy left the institution after\nhe had been taught to read and write, as he did not wish to become a\npriest. He took the name of William P. Matthews, but among his white\nassociates he is known as Bill Nix. He has tried several occupations and\nis now an Indian doctor. The author was inclined at first to underrate Mr.\nMatthews's accomplishments and stock of information, but subsequently\nchanged his opinion of him, as he obtained much that agreed with what had\nbeen furnished by members of other tribes in former years. Besides, the\nauthor obtained partial accounts of similar traditions from other Osage,\nwho used the same chant which Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}\u00fc{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se had sung. None of the younger\nOsage men knew about these matters and the author was urged not to speak\nto them on this subject. He observed that several of the elder men,\nmembers of the secret order in which these traditions are preserved, had\nparts of the accompanying symbolic chart (Fig. 389) tattooed on their\nthroats and chests. This chart is a fac simile of one that was drawn for\nthe author by Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}\u00fc{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se. At the top we see a tree near a river. The\ntree is a cedar, called the tree of life. It has six roots, three on each\nside. Nothing is said about this tree till the speaker nearly reaches the\nend of the tradition. Then follows the \"ceremony of the cedar.\" The tree\nis described very minutely. Then follows a similar account of the river\nand its branches.\n\n          [Illustration: FIG. 389. Symbolic chart of the Osage.]\n\n                  FIG. 389. Symbolic chart of the Osage.\n\n\nJust under the river, at the left, we see a large star, the Red or Morning\nStar. Next are six stars, Ta\u00a2a*d*\u00a2in. The Omaha know a similar group,\nwhich they call \"Minxa si {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}a\u00f1ga,\" or \"Large foot of a goose.\" Next is the\nEvening Star; and last comes the small star, \"Mikak'e-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}i\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a.\" Beneath\nthese four we see the seven stars, or Pleiades (Mikak'e u*d*\u00e1tse\np\u00e9\u00a2un*d*a, the Seven Gentes of Stars), between the Moon (on the left) and\nthe Sun (on the right). Beneath these are the peace pipe (on the left) and\nthe hatchet (on the right). A bird is seen hovering over the four upper\nworlds. These worlds are represented by four parallel horizontal lines,\neach of which, except the lowest one, is supported by two pillars. The\nlowest world rests on a red oak tree.\n\nThe journey of the people began at a point below the lowest upper world,\non the left side of the chart. Then the people had neither human bodies\nnor souls, though they existed in some unknown manner. They ascended from\nthe lowest upper world, on the left, to the highest. There they obtained\nhuman souls in the bodies of birds, according to Sa*d*eki\u00a2e.\n{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayi\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a said that there they met a male red bird, to whom they\nappealed for aid. (See p. 383, line 18.) This was distinct from the female\nRed Bird, who gave them human bodies. They descended to the first world,\nand from that they traveled until they alighted on the red oak tree. (See\np. 383, line 30.) The ground was covered with grass and other kinds of\nvegetation. Then the paths of the people separated: some marched on the\nleft, being the peace gentes that could not take life; they subsisted on\nroots &c.; while those on the right killed animals. By and by the gentes\nexchanged commodities.\n\nThe small figures on the left, in going from the tree (on the right when\nfacing the tree), show the heavenly bodies or beings to whom the Black\nBear went for help, and those on the right, in going from the tree (on the\nleft when facing the top of the chart), show similar bodies or beings to\nwhom the Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e or war gentes applied for assistance. These are unknown to\nthe members of the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gentes. After the female red bird gave bodies to\nthe Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u people, the Black Bear found seven skins, which were used for\ntents. Subsequently the people discovered four kinds of rocks, which were\nthe In'qe s\u00e1*d*e, or black rock; In'qe tuhu,(1) or blue (green?) rock;\nIn'qe {~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}\u00fc{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, or red rock; and In'qe ska, or white rock. Therefore, when a\nchild is named, four stones are heated for the sweat bath. After finding\nthe rocks, according to {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayi\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a, four buffalo bulls approached\nthe people, as one of the men was returning to the company. When the first\nbull arose after rolling on the ground, an ear of red corn and a red\npumpkin fell from his left hind leg. The leader of the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wact\u00e1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e\nnoticed them, and asked his younger brother to pick them up and taste\nthem. The leader of the Bald Eagle subgens did so. Then the elder brother\nsaid: \"These will be good for the children to eat. Their limbs will\nstretch and increase in strength.\" When the second bull arose after\nrolling, an ear of spotted corn and a spotted pumpkin dropped from his\nleft hind leg. These, too, were tasted and declared good for the children.\nWhen the third bull arose after rolling, an ear of dark corn and a dark\n(black?) pumpkin dropped from his left hind leg. From the left hind leg of\nthe fourth buffalo dropped an ear of white corn and a white pumpkin.\nTherefore, when a child is named in the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gens (alone?) the head man\nof that gens ({~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayi\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a himself, according to his statement) takes\na grain of each kind of corn and a slice of each variety of pumpkin, which\nhe puts into the mouth of the infant. Ha*d*a-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}\u00fc{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se knew that the four\nkinds of rocks were found, \"but he could not say in what part of the\ntradition the account belonged. He said that subsequently the Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e and\nTs\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gentes came to the village of the Ha\u00f1'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a-ut\u00e1\u00a2an{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, a very war-like\npeople, who then inhabited earth lodges. They subsisted on animals, and\nbodies of all kinds lay around their village, making the air very\noffensive. The Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u succeeded at last in making peace with the\nHa\u00f1'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a-ut\u00e1\u00a2an{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se. After this followed the part of the account given to the\nauthor by {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayi\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a:\n\n\"After the council between the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u, Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e, and Ha\u00f1'{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a-ut\u00e1\u00a2an{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se, two\nold men were sent off to seek a country in which all might dwell. One of\nthese was a Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wact\u00e1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e and the other a Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka-wact\u00e1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e. Each man\nreceived a pipe from the council and was told to go for seven days without\nfood or drink. He carried a staff to aid him in walking. Three times a day\nhe wept, in the morning, at noon, and near sunset. They returned to the\npeople at the end of the seven days, being very thin. The report of the\nTs\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u man was accepted, so the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u gens is superior to the\nPan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka-wact\u00e1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e or Watsetsi. A Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e man acted as crier and told all about\nthe new home of the nation. All the old men decorated their faces with\nclay. The next morning the two old men who had gone in search of the new\nhome led their respective sides of the nation, who marched in parallel\nroads. When they reached the land the policemen ran around in a circle,\njust as they do previous to starting to war. The Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e man ran around\nfrom right to left and the \u00a2uqe man from left to right. At different\nstations the two old leaders addressed the people. Finally the men took\nsharp pointed sticks, which they stuck into the ground, each one saying 'I\nwish my lodge to be here.' The next day the Cuka or messenger of the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u\nold man went to summon the Elk crier. The latter was ordered to make a\nproclamation to all the people, as follows: 'They say that you must remove\nto-day! Wakan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}a has made good weather! They say that you must remove today\nto a good land!' In those days the Osage used dogs instead of horses. When\nthe old Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u man made his speech, he went into details about every part\nof a lodge, the fireplace, building materials, implements, &c. Four sticks\nwere placed in the fireplace, the first pointing to the west. When this\nwas laid down, the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u leader spoke about the West Wind, and also about\na young buffalo bull (Tse{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}u'-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}i\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a), repeating the name Wani'e-ska. When\nthe stick at the north was laid down, he spoke of Tsehe qu{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se (gray\nbuffalo horns) or a buffalo bull. When the stick at the east was laid down\nhe spoke of Tse{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}u{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a ta\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a (a large buffalo bull). On laying down the\nfourth stick at the south, he spoke of Tse min{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a (a buffalo cow). At the\nsame time a similar ceremony was performed by the aged Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka man on the\nright side of the tribe.(2)\n\n\"In placing the stick to the east, Ta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}aqpa tse, The East Wind, and\nTahe ca*d*e, Dark-Horned Deer, were mentioned; to the north, Ta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se *P*asan\ntse, The North Wind, and The Deer with gray horns were mentioned; to the\nwest, Ta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se Man'ha tse, The West Wind, and an animal which makes a lodge\nand is with the Tahe pasi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e were mentioned; to the south, T]a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se Ak'a tse,\nThe South Wind, and Ta wa\u00f1ka he a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}\u00a2a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}i skuta\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a were mentioned.\"(3)\n\n{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}ahi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e-wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}ayi\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a gave no further information, as a reported case of\nsmallpox near the agency led the author to start for the East February 21,\n1883. Since then he has learned of the existence of similar societies\namong the Kansa and the Ponka, and he suspects that there were formerly\nsuch societies among the Omaha.(4)\n\n\n\n\n\nTRADITIONS OF THE ELDERS.\n\n\nIn presenting the accompanying traditions, the following abbreviations are\nused in the interlinear translations:\n\nan., _animate_.\ncv., _curvilinear_.\ndu., _dual_.\nin., _inanimate_.\nmv., _moving_.\nob., _object_.\npl., _plural_.\nrecl., _reclining_.\nsing., _singular_.\nst., _sitting_.\nstd., _standing_.\nsub., _subject_.\n\n\n\n\nUNUn'U\u00a2\u00c1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}E.

These things are\nonly wa-wi'-ku-ska'-ye [symbols] of something higher.\" On saying this he\npointed to the sky.\n\nApart from such traditions or myths, it is found that even the taboos and\nthe names of the gentes, subgentes, phratries, and persons are objects of\nmysterious reverence among many, if not all, of the Siouan tribes. Such\nnames are never used in ordinary conversation. This is especially the case\nin tribes where the secret society continues in all its power, as among\nthe Osage, the Ponka, and the Kansa. When the author was questioning these\nIndians he was obliged to proceed very cautiously in order to obtain\ninformation of this character, which was not communicated till they\nlearned about his acquaintance with some of the myths. When several Dakota\ndelegations visited Washington he called on them and had little trouble in\nlearning the names of their gentes, their order in the camping circle,\n&c., provided the interpreters were absent. During his visit to the Omaha,\nfrom 1878 to 1880, he did not find them very reticent in furnishing him\nwith such information, though he was generally referred to the principal\nchief of each gens as the best authority for the names in his own\ndivision. But he found it very difficult to induce any of them to admit\nthat the gentes had subdivisions, which were probably the original gentes.\nIt was not till 1880, and after questioning many, that by the merest\naccident he obtained the clew from the keeper of a sacred pipe.\n\nThe Iowa, who have these social divisions and personal names of mythic\nsignificance, also have sacred songs, but these are in the Winnebago\nlanguage. It is probable that they are the property of a secret order, as\nthey, too, show how some of the gentes descended as birds from the upper\nworld. The names of the Winnebago gentes and of some members of the tribe\nhave been recorded by the author, who has also learned parts of their\ntraditions. He infers that their secret society has not been abolished.\n\nWhen a man of the Kansa tribe observed that the author had an inkling of\nthe matter he related part of the tradition of that tribe, explaining the\norigin of the names and the taboos of several Kansa gentes. The ancestors\nof these gentes were spoken of as birds which descended from an upper\nworld. The phratries in that tribe, the \"Wa-yun min-'dun,\" or \"(Those who)\nsing together,\" refer to mystic songs and strengthen the view that the\nsecret society exists among these Indians. Several members of the tribe\nhave positively stated its existence.\n\nAs one phratry is composed of the two gentes, Large and Small Ha\u00f1ka, that\nhave the sole right to sing the war songs, time may show that these songs,\nwhich, with their chart of pictographs(23), are used by the Osage, are\nsubstantially those of the seventh degree in the Osage society. This is\nrendered the more probable by the fact that the Kansa have grouped their\ngentes in seven phratries, just the number of the degrees in the society.\nAnd this arrangement by sevens is the rule among Osage, Kansa, Ponka,\nOmaha, and Dakota, though there are apparent exceptions.\n\nFurther investigation may tend to confirm the supposition that in any\ntribe which has mythic names for its members and its social divisions (as\namong the Osage, Kansa, Quapaw, Omaha, Ponka, Iowa, Oto, Missouri, Tutelo,\nand Winnebago), or in one which has mythic names only for its members and\nlocal or other names for its social divisions (as among the Dakota,\nAssiniboin, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Crow), there are now or there have been\nsecret societies or \"The Mysteries.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFOOTNOTES\n\n\n    1 The sound of this inverted u, between o and u, as well as the sounds\n      of other letters used in this article, except that of the inverted {~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}\n      (which is a sound approximating ch in the German word ich), is to be\n      found on page 206, Third Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology.\n\n    2 It is probable, however, that the Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka (Ponka) man began with the\n      stick at the east, as he must use the right hand and foot first.\n\n    3 Meaning uncertain; it may refer to the female or doe.\n\n    4 See \"Omaha Sociology,\" \u00a7\u00a7 14-16, 19, 28, 33, 34, 36, 56, 143,\n      248-258, and passim, in Third Annual Report of the Director of the\n      Bureau of Ethnology.\n\n    5 The literal rendering of the title is \"Growth told.

This water was dried up\n      by the ancestors of the Elk people, according to the tradition of\n      the Upqan or Elk gens; but this is disputed by the members of the\n      I*d*ats'e gens, who are Kansa or Wind people. They say that their\n      ancestors blew on the water, drying it up and causing the growth of\n      vegetation. As soon as the water was gone the Bald Eagle people\n      alighted on the ground. Then they met the Black Bear, who offered to\n      become the servant of the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e people. So he was sent to\n      \"Watse-{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}u{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a, who was a red star; then to Watse-min{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a, a star near\n      the Morning Star; then to the Sun, Moon, and Seven Stars. As the\n      people journeyed, the Black Bear said to the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u leader, 'Brother,\n      I see a man's trail. Here is the man.' The stranger said, 'I am a\n      young Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a. I am fit for work.' So they took him with them. Then\n      they saw another trail, of which the Black Bear spoke to the Ts\u00ed{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u\n      leader. They overtook the man, who was Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}aqtsi or Real Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a. By\n      and by they reached the village of the Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a uta\u00a2an{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se. They entered\n      the village and made peace with the inhabitants. Then the leader of\n      the Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a uta\u00a2an{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se said, 'We have some people come to us, and we\n      will make them our chiefs.' So the two wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e were made chiefs. The\n      wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e were then sent to search for a land where they might dwell,\n      as the village of the Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a uta\u00a2an{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED T~}se was filthy and offensive on\n      account of the dead bodies in and around it. This council was the\n      first one of the whole nation. The two wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e went out as mourners\n      for seven days. The Ha\u00f1{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}a wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e (Pan{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED H~}ka = Ponka) came back first,\n      saying, 'I have found a place.' Afterwards the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e\n      returned and reported. The council was held again to decide to which\n      place they would go. They agreed to settle at the place visited by\n      the Tsi{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}u wacta{~LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED K~}e. Then four standards were made by members of the\n      Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e (wanun gens, two for each side of the tribe. These were the\n      standards made of minxa ha (swan or goose skins), and they were\n      carried on the hunting road as well as on the war path. But the\n      otter skin standards were always retained by the Wa{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}a{~LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O~}e gens.\"\n\n      On comparing this version with that of Sa*d*eki\u00a2e we notice that in\n      one or the other a transposition of some parts has been made. In\n      this latter tradition the appeals to the heavenly bodies and to the\n      Red Bird were made before the journey to the four revolutions of the\n      upper worlds.\n\n   21 Here is where the two roads begin.\n\n   22 At this point begins the account of the Female Beaver. She was an\n      ancestor of the Osage, according to a statement published in Long's\n      Expedition to the Rocky Mountains.\n\n   23 See the author's paper in the American Naturalist for 1885, entitled\n      \"Kansas mourning and war customs,\" with which was published part of\n      the chart mentioned above.","title":"Osage Traditions","tradition":"myth-cosmogony","translated_text":null,"word_count":14585}
