THE HUSKPAPA 



The name lluukpapa (sometimes corrupted into Uucpapa, Oncpapa, 

 etc), should be compared with the Yauktonai name Huukpatina; both 

 refer to the liunkpa or ends of a tribal circle. A Huukpapa man in 

 1880 gave the following as the names of the geutes: 1, Tcaiika-o(ia" 

 (Caijka-ohai)) Sore-backs (of horses), not the original name. 2, Tce- 

 otiba (Oe-ohba), in which tee (ce) has either a vulgar meaning or is a

The real foundation for the totemic 

 system exists among the Dakota, as ii 



well as among the other Siouau tribes 

 and the Iroquois, in the names of njen often being taken from mythical 

 animals, but, in the opinion of Dr S. 11. Riggs, the system was never 

 carried to perfection. 



DAKOTA SOCIAL CUSTOMS 



Among the eastern Dakota the phratry was never a permanent or 

 ganization, but it was resorted to on special occasions and for various 

 purposes, such as war or the buffalo hunt. The exponent of the phra- 

 try was the tiyotipi or "soldiers' lodge," which has been described at 

 length by Dr Riggs.' 



While no political organization has been known to exist within the 

 historic jjeriod over the whole Dakota nation, the traditional alliance of 

 the "Seven Council-fires" is perpetuated in the common name Dakota, 

 signifying allied, frienclly. 



Among the Dakota it is customary for the rank and title of chief to 

 descend from father to son, unless some other near relative is ambitious 

 and influential enough to obtain the place. The same is claimed also in 

 regard to the rank of brave or soldier, but this position is more dependent
