THE SA n ZE GENS. 



§ 54. The place of the 3;a n ze or Kansas gens is between the^e-'i" and 

 the Ma n <|:iuka-gaxe in the tribal circle. The head man of the gens who 

 was recognized as such in 1879 was Za n zi-mande. 



Taboo. — The 5ja n ze people cannot touch verdigris, which they call 

 " wase-ju," green clay, or " wase-^u-qiule," gray-green clay. 



Being Wind people, they flap their blankets to start a breeze which 

 will drive off the musquitoes. 



Subgentcs. — La Fleche and Two Crows recognize but two of these: 

 Keepers of a Pipe and Wind People. They assign to the former 

 Maja n hafi n , Maja n -kide, &c, and to the latter Waji n -^icage, Za n zi- 

 mande, and their nearkiudred. But Lion said that there were foursub- 

 gentes, and that Maja n ha£i u was the head man of the first, or Niuiba 

 t'a n , which has another name, Those who Make the Sacred tent. He 

 gave Waji n ^icage as the head man of the Wind people, Za n zi-mand£as 

 the head of the third subgens, and Maja n -kide of the fourth ; but he 

 could not give the exact order in which they sat in their gentile circle. 



A member of the gens told the writer that Four Peaks, whom Lion 

 assigned to Za n zi-mande's subgens, was the owner of the sacred tent : 

 but he did not say to what sacred tent he referred. 



Some say that Maja n La<fi u was the keeper of the sacred pipe of his 

 gens till his death in 1S79. Others, including Frank La Fleche, say 

 that Four Peaks was then, and still is, the keeper of the pipe. 



According to La Fleche and Two Crows, a member of this gens was 

 chosen as crier when the brave young men were ordered to take part in 

 the sham tight. (See § 152.) "This was Maja n ha fi u " (Franlc La Fleche).
