DENSMORE] MANDAN AND HIDATSA MUSIC 171 
and the words (not transcribed) are those given by Scattered Corn. 
The words resemble those of the “ game of silence” recorded among 
the Chippewa (Bull. 53, Bur. Amer. Ethn., p. 303), in which the 
situations were made as exciting as possible and a fine imposed on 
the child who laughed when the song suddenly ceased. Both sets of 
words mention a trail and a journey. In the Chippewa song a fat 
pig is hanging in a tree, while in the Mandan song a buffalo calf 
is “lying up high.” A resemblance between the folk tale of the 
turtle who went to war, as recorded among the Chippewa and the 
Mandan, is noted in footnote on page 89.
