[7] This coupling of purchase with inheritance is strictly comparable to the Hidatsa bundle (this volume, 416-417). [8] Scott, 369, 373. [9] If this is more than a general taboo against women handling sacred objects, it has its parallel in a similar Crow bias (this volume, 13). [10] Mooney, 241, 323, 324. [11] Mooney, 239.

[22] Battey, 170. [23] By the "old women soldiers" according to Scott (361), but Martinez informs me that, with the exception of the dance described by Battey, the two women's societies have no significant part in the sun dance. [24] The Old Woman society (Lowie, 850). [25] Battey, 168. [26] Cf. Lowie, 843. [27] Battey, 169. [28] Battey, 170-172. War singing _gwudańke_, was customary before an expedition set out for war (Lowie, 850). [29] Scott, Pl. XXV. [30] Evidently a shield of this type was made by Koñate, who was instructed to do so by the _tai´me_ which appeared to him as he lay wounded (Mooney, 304). [31] Lewis notes this custom for the Shoshoni, and Lowie for their medicinemen when treating the sick (Lowie, Northern Shoshone, 213-214). The Crow do not smoke where their moccasins are hung up, according to Maximilian, (Reise in das innere Nord-America in den Jahren 1832 bis 1834 [Coblenz, 1841], I, 400). [32] Scott, 373. [33] Scott, 362. [34] Martinez puts this performance after the image has been brought into the dance lodge: this does not seem correct.
