INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 



During the summer of 1902, while the writer was en- 



^- g a g e d in collecting ethnological material among the 



Absahrokee (Crow) Indians, of Montana, for the Field 



Columbian Museum, the following traditions of that 



tribe were gathered. 



All of the traditions were related, through a most 

 competent interpreter, by the second oldest man of the 

 tribe, known as Bull-that-goes-hunting. 



S. C. Simms.
