| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | This book was originally published in 1921, after Gilbert L. Wilson conducted extensive interviews with members of the Native American Hidatsa tribe living on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in western North Dakota. Waheenee, or Buffalo-Bird Woman, his main informant, was by then an old woman. She recounted the story of her life as a child and young woman, when her people retained a traditional Plains Indians way of life, raising corn, beans and squash, and hunting buffalo and deer. Waheenee was the daughter of a powerful medicine man, Small Ankle, and her family was a prominent one in Like-a-Fishhook Village, a settlement her grandfather helped to establish. Dr. Wilson was accompanied on his visits to the village by his brother, Frederick N. Wilson, who drew over 100 illustrations for the book. All of those wonderful illustrations have been reproduced for this digital edition and placed in context as they were in the original text. This electronic version of Wilson’s important ethnographic study of the Hidatsa culture has been carefully and faithfully adapted to this new format for the digital age. All original content has been retained, along with additional notes about the author and Waheenee and her family. |
