hunkalowanpi When a person, 
because he thinks highly of them, 
or for other good reason, intends 
in a measure to adopt the children 
of another, or to become ‘“‘ate” to 
them, or be regarded by them as 
a relative in Dakota fashion, he 
makes the ‘“huynka lowanpi” for 
and in honor of the children. The 
children thus become “hunka,” and 
are always after known as such by 
a red stripe across the side of fore- 
head and cheek, which they are 
permitted to wear as a_ badge. 
The number of these stripes shows 
how many times the wearer has
