 From this calendar of activities it is apparent that the longest 



period the Winnebago remained at home continuously was three 

 months, the twelfth, first, and second. They were at home also 

 throughout the sixth and eighth months. Whether they were in 

 their villages at intervals during the fourth and fifth months is hard 

 to determine. It is probable that the fishing or hunting trips con- 

 sumed a considerable portion of, if not the entire, month. During the 

 ninth, tenth, and eleventh months the Winnebago were undoubtedly 

 away from their villages all the time.
