About this book
The book is "Siouan Sociology A Posthumous Paper" by James Owen Dorsey. The opening note says "In 1871, at the age of 23, James Owen Dorsey, previously a student of divinity with a predilection for science, was ordained a deacon of the Protestant Episcopal church by the bishop of Virginia". The note says "in May of that year he was sent to Dakota Territory as a missionary among the Ponka Indians".
The contents list, among others, sections called "GENERAL FEATURES OF ORGANIZATION", "THE DAKOTA TRIBES" and "DESIGNATION AND MODE OF CAMPING". The text records that "Lion, of the Deer-head gens, said that there were four subgentes, but this was denied in 1882 by Two Crows of the Hañga gens." The text says "With the Hidatsa, as with other western tribes, it is improper for a man to hold a direct conversation with his mother-in-law; but this custom seems to be falling into disuse."
