the Ponka for wearing a mask is "Indafinga gAxe," or '<to act the 

 Iu(Ia(|-inga," it may be that this character was an aboriginal bogy. 

 Compare the Dakota Caijotidaij, Ilohuogica, Uijgnagicala, etc. (§ 232.) 

 Omaha mothers used to scare their children by telling them that if 

 they did not behave, IcibajT (a hero of the jjC-sinde gens) or j^exiija° 

 (a hero of the 5ja"ze gens) would catch them.' Another fearful being 

 was Inde-na"ba, or Two Faces, the very sight of whom killed a woman 

 who was enceinte.^ This being resembled, in some resjjccts, Ictinike, 

 the deceiver,^ though Ictinike was usually the counterpart of the Dakota 

 Ikto, Iktomi, or Utjktomi. (See §§ 1328-231.) As a worker of evil 

 Ictinike may be compared with the Dakota Anuijg-ite or Two Faces 

 and the latter in tiu-n resembled the Inda(|;iiiga of the Pouka. (See 

 §§ 233, 234.) 



OTHER KANSA WAKANDAS. 



§ 39. The third figure on the Kansa war chart is^ that of the Wakan- 

 da or aged man who gives success to the hunter. He is thus addressed 

 by Ali"kawahu and Paha°le-gaqli : Ts'age-jiii'ga hai'i ! Dable ma»'yi"- 



Venerable man Ho! To hunt walk 

 large quad- 

 rupeds 



aii! Dilda" wadjii'ta nikaci°ga ckeda" wayakipabada" ts'eya-bana- 



thou What quadruped person soever you meet them and kill ye 



(pl-) 



ban ! i. e., "Venerable man, go hunting ! Kill whatever persons or quad- 



! 



rupeds meet you!" They think that this being drives the game 

 towards the hunter. 



In the war chart there are seven songs of the Wakanda who makes 

 night songs. Fig. 16 of that chart refers to a song of another Wa- 

 kanda who is not described. Fig. IS refers to two shade songs. 

 Shade is made by a Wakanda. Fig. 19 is a dream song. There is a 

 Wakanda who makes people sleepy, an Indian Somnus.
