![]() Catlin's sketches, also in lithograph, are in the Minneapolis Public Library. Copies of Bodmer's sketches, in beautiful lithograph, are found in the library of the Minnesota Historical Society. A year later Maximilian of Wied visited them with the artist Bodmer. In 1832 the artist Catlin visited the two tribes, remaining with them several months. In 1804 Lewis and Clark found the Hidatsas in three villages at the mouth of the Knife River, and the Mandans in two villages a few miles lower down on the Missouri. They were found there with the Arikaras about 1765. How long the two tribes dwelt at the mouth of the Heart is not known. ![]() Quarrels between their young men caused the tribes to separate, but the Mandans loyally aided their friends to build new villages a few miles from their own. The two tribes formed an alliance and attempted to live together as one people. Tradition says that the tribe came from Miniwakan, or Devils Lake, in what is now North Dakota and that migrating west, they met the Mandans at the mouth of the Heart River. The name is said to mean "willows," and it was given the village because the god Itsikama'hidic promised that the villagers should become as numerous as the willows of the Missouri river. The other villages consolidated with it, and the name was adopted as that of the tribe. The name Hidatsa was formerly borne by one of the tribal villages. Their language is closely akin to that of the Crows with whom they claim to have once formed a single tribe a separation, it is said, followed a quarrel over a slain buffalo. The Hidatsas, called Minitaris by the Mandans, are a Siouan linguistic tribe. This does not apply to the tribal names Hidatsa, Mandan, Dakota, Arikara, Native Hidatsa words in this thesis are written in the foregoing alphabet.

It is the intention of those interested in the anthropological work of the University of Minnesota that occasional publications will be issued by the University on anthropological subjects, although at present there is no justification for issuing a consecutive series. When, now and then, such practical dollar-and-cent results follow such purely scientific researches, the wonder is that university research work is not generously endowed by businesses which largely profit by these researches. This fact again emphasizes the wisdom of research work in our universities. That the study has unexpectedly revealed certain varieties of maize of apparently great value to agriculture in the semi-arid areas west of Minnesota is a cause of satisfaction to both Mr. The work was begun without theory or thesis, but solely with the object of gathering available data from an old woman expert agriculturist in one of the oldest agricultural tribes accessible to a student of the University of Minnesota. Wilson is an attempt to add to the scanty knowledge already at hand on the subject of the economic life of the American Indian. The field of primitive economic activity has been largely left uncultivated by both economists and anthropologists. The University of Minnesota (Studies in the Social Sciences, #9), 1917.
