  TWENTY-FIRST 
  REPORT 
  ON 
  THE 
  STATE 
  CABINET. 
  

  

  Arickarees, 
  constructed 
  for 
  winter 
  use. 
  It 
  contained 
  thirty 
  or 
  forty 
  

   houses 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  model 
  and 
  size, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  well 
  built 
  They 
  

   wintered 
  at 
  this 
  village 
  to 
  be 
  nearer 
  game 
  and 
  fuel. 
  Their 
  horses 
  

   were 
  stabled 
  within 
  the 
  house 
  of 
  their 
  owners 
  for 
  safety 
  as 
  well 
  

   as 
  comfort, 
  man 
  and 
  beast 
  being 
  warmed 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  fire 
  and 
  

   covered 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  roof. 
  All 
  the 
  people 
  did 
  not 
  remove 
  — 
  -only 
  

   those 
  in 
  the 
  best 
  condition 
  to 
  follow 
  the 
  hunt. 
  They 
  returned 
  in 
  

   the 
  spring 
  in 
  time 
  for 
  the 
  planting 
  season. 
  This 
  village 
  was 
  un- 
  

   occupied 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  our 
  visit. 
  

  

  We 
  remained 
  at 
  the 
  old 
  Mandan 
  village 
  but 
  one 
  night 
  and 
  a 
  

   part 
  of 
  two 
  days, 
  and 
  left 
  it 
  intending 
  to 
  stop 
  again 
  on 
  our 
  return 
  

   down 
  the 
  river 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  this 
  expectation 
  we 
  were 
  disappointed. 
  

   With 
  another 
  clay 
  at 
  this 
  village, 
  the 
  number 
  and 
  variety 
  of 
  imple- 
  

   ments 
  and 
  utensils 
  might 
  have 
  been 
  largely 
  increased. 
  

  

  Eespectfully
