Saucy Chief is the authority for the following: "Should all the Osage wish to dwell very near another tribe, or in case two or three families of us wish to remove to another part of the reservation, we let the others know our desire to live near them. We make up prizes for them—a pony, a blanket, strouding, etc—and we ask them to race for them. The fastest horse takes the first prize, and so on. We take along a pipe and some sticks—one stick for each member of the party that is removing. The other people meet us and race with us back to their home. They make us sit in a row; then one of their men or children brings a pipe to one of our party to whom he intends giving a horse. The pipe is handed to the rest of the party. The newcomers are invited to feasts, all of which they are obliged to attend." When the Osage go on the hunt the Tsiɔu wactaʞe (chief) tells the Sĭntsaʞ¢ĕ and Tse ʇṵʞa intse where the people must camp. The following evening the Panɥka wactaʞe (chief) tells the soldiers on his side (the Waɔaɔe and Hañʞa uʇa¢antsi) where the camp must be on the following day. The members of the four gentes of soldiers or policemen meet in council and decide on the time for departure. They consult the Tsiɔu wactaʞe and Hañʞa (Panɥka wactaʞe?) who attend the council. The crier is generally a man of either the Ṵpqan or Kanse gens, but sometimes a Min k’in man acts. The four leaders of the soldier gentes call on the crier to proclaim the next camping place, etc, which he does thus: "Ha+! | han’*d*a | ʞasin’|ʇan | awahe’ɔún | tatsi’ | a’pinʇau+! | Ha+! | (Niɔü’tse | masin’ta) Halloo! | day | tomorrow |on | you make up in packs | shall | they really say | Halloo! | Missouri river | on the other side tci’ | i’he¢a’e | ta’tsi | a’*d*intau+!" tent {?} | you place in a line {?} | shall | they really say. which is to say, "Halloo! tomorrow morning you shall pack your goods (strike camp). Halloo! you shall lay them down, after reaching (the other side of Missouri river)!" Then the four leaders of the soldier gentes choose a’kiʇa (policemen) who have a ʇuʇan’hañʞa or captain, who then acts as crier in giving orders, thus: "Ha+! | ni’kawasa’e! | Ha+! | ʞahi’ʞe | waʇa’yiñʞa | ni’kawasa’e! | a’¢aki’ʇa | tatsi’ Halloo! | O warrior! | Halloo, | Chief | Saucy! | O warrior! | you guard | shall a*d*intau’ | ni’kawasa’e!" they say really | O warrior! which means, "Halloo, O warrior! Halloo, O warrior, Saucy Chief! They have really said that you shall act as policeman or guard, O warrior!" These a’kiʇa have to punish any persons who violate the laws of the hunt. But there is another grade of men; the four leaders of the soldier gentes tell the captain to call certain men wa’paʞ¢a’ɔi utsin’, and they are expected to punish any a’kiʇa who fail to do their duty. Supposing Min k’in waʇayiñʞa was selected, the crier would say:
