Staitan. "Staitan or Kite Indians," 

 mentioned by Lewis and Clark in 1804 

 as one of the small tribes about whom 

 little more than the name was known, 

 roving on the heads of Platte and Chey- 

 enne rs. The narrative continues: "They 

 have acquired the name of Kites from 

 their flying — that is, their being always 

 on horseback, and the sniallness of their 

 numbers is to be attributed to their ex- 

 treme ferocity; they are the most war- 

 like of all the western Indians; they never 

 yield in battle; they never spare their 

 enemies; and the retaliation of this bar- 

 barity has almost extinguished the na- 

 tion." They are estimated at 40 lodges, 

 100 warriors, 400 souls. They are else- 

 where represented as neighbors and 

 friends of the Cheyenne and the Kane- 

 navish (Arapaho). 



They are probably the Sutaio (q. v. ), for- 

 merly a distinct tribe, but now incorpo- 

 rated with the Cheyenne. The Cheyenne 

 form for '.Sutai man' would be SutaV- 

 itcVn, pi. SuiaV-iid^neo. They are not the 

 Crows, as has sometimes been supposed 

 from the coincidence of the name Kites, 

 neither are they identical with the Chey- 

 enne as Mooney at one time supposed 

 (Ghost Dance, 1023, 1896). By careless 

 copying, the name appears also as Stactan, 

 Stailan, and even Marlain; but the orig- 

 inal and only authority rests with Lewis 

 and Clark. (j. m. )
