PEACEFUL DAY IS MY NAME Verily, my abode is in the days that are calm and peaceful. When the little ones make of me their bodies (their life), They shall become a people of the days that are ever serene. From each of the great gods, I verily remove all traces of anger and violence. When the little ones make of me their bodies, They shall have power to remove from the gods All anger and the desire for destruction. From the god of the lower world (the earth); From the god of light who standeth in the midst of heaven; From the god of the upper world (the over-arching sky), I have power to remove all anger and violence. When the little ones make of me their bodies, They also shall have power to remove from the gods all anger. When the little ones of the Wa-zha´-zhe (subdivision), And those of the Hoⁿ´-ga (subdivision), Make of me their bodies, They shall have power to remove from all lands, All anger, hatred and violence. NO-ANGER IS ALSO MY NAME I am a person of whom the little ones may well make their bodies. My abode is in the midst of the earth’s warm, quivering air. When the little ones make of me their bodies, They shall become a people of the earth’s quivering air. Verily, in the days that are gentle and peaceful, I make my abode. When the little ones make of me their bodies, They shall become a people of the days that are gentle and peaceful. Of a little yellow flower I have made my body. The little Ba-shta´, that stands amidst the winds, I have made to be my body. When the little ones make of the Ba-shta´ their bodies, They shall ever live together without anger, without hatred. Ṭoⁿ-woⁿ-i´-hi-zhiⁿ-ga, Little Ṭoⁿ-woⁿ-i´-hi, in speaking to Miss Fletcher in 1898 of the Osage gentile system, said that there are five subgentes in the Ṭsi´-zhu Wa-shta-ge gens, namely: 1. Ṭsi´-u-çkoⁿ-çka, House in the center, meaning the Sanctuary in the keeping of this gens which, figuratively, stands in the center of the earth. 2. Ba´-po, Elder, or, People of the elder trees. 3. Moⁿ´-ça-hi, Arrow-tree, or, People of the arrow tree. 4. Zhoⁿ-çoⁿ´, White-tree (Sycamore), or, People of the white tree. 5. Sho´-ḳa, Messengers, or, People from whom a ceremonial messenger is chosen for the gens. Sometimes this gens is called Ṭsi´-u-thu-ha-ge, Last group of houses. It is from the people of the Ṭsi´-u-çkoⁿ-çka that the hereditary chief of the Ṭsi´-zhu great tribal division must always be chosen. The Ba´-po subgens has the office of making the stem for the ceremonial peace pipe of the Ṭsi´-zhu Wa-shta-ge. The stem must always be made of the Ba´-po, the elder tree. The people of the Arrow-tree and the Sycamore gentes have lost the significance of their life symbols. All of these five subgentes use the cone-flower symbolic hair cut.
