of the organization were recorded by James Yellowbank, who is a 

 leader in that branch. In September, 1931, and in June, 1932, the 

 study of peyote was continued with Winnebago Indians. 



On November 6, 1931, Miss Densmore arrived in Miami, Fla., to 

 resume a study of the Seminole Indians begun in January. During 

 the early part of her stay the work was conducted in the Seminole 

 villages at Musa Isle and Dania and in three camps on the Tamiami 

 Trail between Miami and Everglades. Sixty-five songs were re- 

 corded by Panther (known as Josie Billie), a leader in the Big 

 Cypress band of the tribe. He is a medicine man in regular practice, 

 and his work was sometimes interrupted by his attendance upon the 

 sick. 



Early in February Miss Densmore went to Fort Myers and made 

 a trip to remote villages in the Everglades under the guidance of 

 Stanley Hanson of that city. Then she went to the region west of 

 Lake Okeechobee and recorded 125 songs at Brighton from Billie 

 Stuart, a leader of singers in the Cow Creek group of Seminoles. 

 Returning to Miami, work was resumed at Musa Isle. Additional 

 songs were recorded by Panther, and an important tradition was 

 related by Billie Motlo, one of the few remaining old men of the 

 tribe.
