Excerpt from Traditions of the Caddo, Collected Under the Auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington In the beginning the sun, stars, moon, and earth did not exist as they are now. Darkness ruled. With the lapse of time came a man, the only living being. Soon after his arrival a village sprang into existence with many thousands of people, and the people noticed that the man seemed to be everywhere. For a time he disappeared, and when he came back he had all kinds of seeds. He called all the people together and told them that the seeds were for them to eat, and gave them to every one. He told them that soon Darkness would go, and the people would see, for Darkness had promised that they should have a man by the name of Sun, and that he should be given power by the great-father-above; that whenever his time Should come to give them to the Sun he should be called or taken away from his mother, from our great mother Earth below that the direction where the Sun should come from should be called east, and the way of its going down should be called west. He also announced to the people that he was the first being created and that he had been given power by the same great-father-above, and that he had to carry out his work. He then told the people that it was very necessary that they should have one man abler and wiser than any other man among them, to be their head man; that they should call him chief that whatever the chief should command should be done by the people; that they should look upon him as a great father. The unknown man told the people to return to their homes, hold a council among themselves, and select a chief.

Excerpt from Traditions of the Caddo, Collected Under the Auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington The Caddo tales here presented were collected during the years 1903 - 1905, under the auspices'of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and form part of a systematic investigation of the religious system and ceremonial organization of the tribes of the Caddoan stock. The Caddo, numbering 530 in 1903, are of Caddoan stock, and since 1859 have lived in western Oklahoma between the Washita and Canadian rivers, where they have been closely associated with the Wichita. They retain practically nothing of their ancient culture. Their early home was in Louisiana, on the lower Red River. Eater they migrated toward the Texas border, and still later to Brazos River in Texas. They met the whites as early as 1540, and throughout their history have maintained a friendly attitude toward the whites. Like the Wichita, their early habitations were conical grass lodges, and they were agriculturists, hunting the buffalo only within comparatively recent times. The comparison of the Caddo tales with those of other tribes is deferred until the completion of the present investigation.

Excerpt from Traditions of the Arikara, Collected Under the Auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington The Ari'kara traditions in this volume were collected during the year 1903, with funds provided by the Carnegie Institution. The work was part of a systematic and extended study of the mythology and ceremonies of the various tribes of the Ca'ddoan stock. All of the tales here presented were secured through James R. Murie, of the Skidi band of Pawnee. The slight differences in language between the Ari kara and Skidi were soon overcome by Mr. Murie, who, when a boy at school, had learned to speak Arikara fluently.

Excerpt from Traditions of the Arikara, Collected Under the Auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington The Ankara traditions in this volume were collected during the year 1903, with funds provided by the Carnegie Institution. The work was part of a systematic and extended study of the mythology and ceremonies of the various tribes of the Caddoan stock. All of the tales here presented were secured through James R. Murie, of the Skidi band of Pawnee. The slight differences in language between the Ankara and Skidi were soon overcome by Mr. Murie, who, when a boy at school, had learned to speak Arikara fluently. The Arikara belong to the Caddoan linguistic stock, and were formerly closely allied with the Skidi band of Pawnee, from which tribe they separated about 1832. After that time they made their home at various points along the Missouri River until, in 1854, they were placed on what is known as Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota, along with the Mandan and Minitaree or Grosventres, the latter two tribes being of Siouan stock. With the Mandan the Arikara had been closely associated even before their removal to the Fort Berthold Reservation. Their dwellings and general mode of life had much in common with the Skidi. Like the Skidi, they constructed the earth-lodge, and their social organization and religious ceremonies in general were also similar to those of the Skidi. Inasmuch as the author has prepared a somewhat extended discussion of the Skidi in his introduction to the "Traditions of the Skidi Pawnee," it will not be necessary here to do more than to refer to that volume. The Arikara to-day number about 380, as against 435 in 1890, and 725 in 1880. Owing to the continued severe hostility of the Indian Department, but little evidence of their former method of life remains. It is said that the last earth-lodge in use fell into ruins in 1900. In possession of certain members of the tribe are some of the sacred bundles or altars; but the people have been so intimidated that their religious ceremonies are, as a rule, held secretly. In physique they seem hardier than their Skidi brethren on the south, and in disposition, more tractable. In dealings with the Government they have, as a rule, proved themselves men of high honor, and not since about 1820 have they manifested an unfriendly disposition toward the whites. An examination of the tales here presented shows, as we might expect to find, many points of resemblance with those of the Skidi and other Pawnee tribes.

Excerpt from The Pawnee: Mythology Collected Mythology Part Auspices Collected Under the Auspices This present memoir forms part of a series of investigations begun by the author among the tribes of the Caddoan stock on behalf of the Field Museum of Natural History, and continued since the beginning of 1903 under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The results of this investigation, which have appeared up to the present time, are as follows: 1. Wichita Tales. 1. Origin. J. Am. Folk-Lore, vol. xv, pp. 215-239. 2. One of the sacred altars of the Pawnee. Trans. Int. Cong. of Ameri-canists, pp. 67-74, 1902. 3. How the Pawnee captured the Cheyenne medicine arrows. Am. Anth. (n. s.), vol. v, pp. 644-658. 4. Wichita Tales. 2. The story of Weksalahos or the Shooting Stars. J. Am. Folk-Lore, vol. xvi, pp. 160-179. 5. An Arikara story-telling contest. Am. Anth. (n. s. ), vol. vi, pp. 240-243. 1904. 6. Wichita Tales. 3. The two boys who slew the monsters and became stars. J. Am. Folk-Lore, vol. xvii, pp. 153-160, 1904. 7. Traditions of the Skidi Pawnee. Mem. Am. Folk-Lore, vol. viii, 1904. 8. Traditions of the Arikara. Pub. 17, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1904. 9. The mythology of the Wichita. Pub. 21, Carnegie Institution of Washmgton, 1904. 10. A Pawnee personal medicine shrine. Am. Anth. (n. s.), pp. 496-498, 1905. 11. Caddo customs of childhood. J. Am. Folk-Lore, vol. xviii, pp. 226-228, 1905. 12. Traditions of the Caddo. Pub. 41, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1905. Part I of the mythology here presented contains the tales of the Kitkehahki, Pitahauirat, and Chaui bands of Pawnee, as well as a few miscellaneous Skidi tales, and completes the work of recording the traditions of the Caddoan tribes; it will be followed by Part II, in which will be presented the music which belongs to certain tales of this memoir, and which will give the results of a comparative study of the tales of the various tribes of this stock, both among themselves and with the tales of other tribes of North America. The share of the work performed by Mr. James R. Murie has been as great in this present volume as in previous volumes, and without his keen interest and untiring patience the production of the memoir would not have been possible.
