and brought it to the cabin, and dressed 

 the deer and buffalo skins; the women 

 performed the indoor work and made 

 potterj' and clotliing; polygyny was rare 

 among them (Shea, Early Voy., 134). 

 The Tunica language, hitherto unknown 

 or unpublished, was studied in 1S.S6 by 

 Gatschet. It is vocalic and harmonious, 

 rich in verbal forms and possessing also a 

 declension of the noun, and, what is more 

 remarkable, nominal and pronominal 

 gender. It appears to have no genetic 

 connection with any other familj' of lan- 

 guages.
