NO. 8 CREEK SQUARE GROUNDS SWANTON 1/ 



hit Oil the skull at the top counts five and a hit on the pole above 

 a certain mark counts two when it is struck twice in succession. 



The Hathagas consisted of the Beaver, Alhgator, Bird. Bear. 

 Skunk, Wind, and Rabbit: the Tcilokis of the Raccoon, Deer. 

 Panther, and Aktayatci. The Ralibit, Wind, and Skunk formed one 

 phratry. 



The information regarding this ground which I obtained in 1912 

 was particularly incomplete. It is therefore gratifying to find 

 that there are no serious discrepancies between the plan based on 

 that (42d Ann. Rep.. Bur. Amer. Ethnol, p. 211) and the present 

 information. Some clans are given in one and omitted from the 

 other, but where the same ones appear in both they have practically 

 the same positions except for the Bear, which, according to the 

 earlier description, sat in the west cabin and according to the later 

 at the east end of the north cabin ; and the Tami, which the former 

 places at the west end of the north cabin and the latter at the back 

 of the northern section of the west cabin. The location of the 

 miko, miko apokta or heniha. and hilis haya is probably more exact 

 in the later plan which also adds many more details. The informants 

 difi-'ered somewhat regarding the Hathagas and Tcilokis, the earlier 

 authority placing the Beaver among the Tciloki and the Panther 

 among the Whites, allocations exactly reversed by my later informant. 



LITTLE TULSA 



Next we come to one of the two divisions into which the Tulsa 

 have recently split, this being known as Little Tulsa (fig. 3). Plate i, 

 Figtire 2, shows the old Tulsa ground in 191 1 from the southeast, 

 before the fission had occurred. 



It is said that all of the ofifices are filled from particular clans. 

 The following is a list of the present officers ; exclusive of the miko 

 and his heniha :
