d.ncie, following the Buffaloe as the
seasons change, without any wish or
detire to raise corn or vegetables:
they hunt on horsfcback, armed with
hows and short guns; they have their
nation parceled in tribes, vis.
Yantans, Titons, Cbia»S, Punkas, 8cc.
&c. Whetherthey acknowledge these
appellations I am not positive, but
rather think they received theiri from
those traders who have been in the
habit of visiting them ; they are the
terror and in fact the lordly masters
of all their neighbors, claiming tri
bute (presents) from all the other
tribes ; their dress consists of the
skins of the Deer, Elk, Biiffaioe and
Beaver, handsomely decorated with
porcupine quills. As thfiy remain
but a short period in one place they
have very little baggage, a few ket
tles, their arms and clothing are prtA
pared in small bundles, sufficiently
large for a dog to drag hlon
sled ; these animals are of the wolf
breed and know by instinct when the
band is in motion ; on stripping the
huts which are covered frith skins
they set up a most piteous howl, and
endeavor to escape their intended I;f-
bor by hiding from their owntrs.
On the 20th we sat out and on the
next day passed the Punka river on
the north side ; a band of the Souex,
called the Punkas, resort to this river
to hunt; a few miles above the Luka-
kon or running water puts in with
the greatest velocity ; this river is a-
bou't 150 yards wide at its mouth,
being navigable a considerable dis
tance for small trading boats ; here
we met with several bluffs of coal,
chalk, pigments, slate, 8cc. he. and
for the first time observed the goat ;
prairie dogs, and a number of mag

Of a voyage from St. Louis, Louisi
ana, to the Mandan Village, un
dertaken by the St. Louis Missou
ri Fur Company, for the purpose
of conducting Shchekeh the Man

tablish trading houses on the head

Thomas, Surgeon to the party.

'On leaving the Platt we
take leave of the exuberance of ve
getation, a broken country, a san
dy soil, coarse short grass, a dearth
of timber, and in fact nothing to con
sole the view but what Providence
inis kindly' favoured man, viz. Buf
faloe and Deer, whose abundance
feed and clothe the wretched wander
ers of these sterile regions.
From the river Platt to the Maha
village about 250 miles, we experien
ced good weather ; on our way we
passed the old loway village, now de
serted, and had a view of the Coun
cil Bluff', here Jbewis h:ul Clark held
a talk with the Punuies on their as*

on the south side, about 50 feet high
without‘stone to support it from the
daily washings and undermining from
the current below : from its top the
river and surrounding country can
a few miles up met with three Sou
ex, who informed us that a party of
their nation were waiting for us about
36 miles up the river. Twelve miles
further we pass cl Floyd’s river, cal
led after one of the followers of Lew
is and Clark, who was buried on an
eminence in its neighborhood; the
Indians had mounted a flag over his
grave ; on our way we passed several
oanks ot coal and chalk.
On the 18th, we arrived at the
Yantans, a branch of the Souex, con
taining 309 lodges ; their huts were
placed on the north bank, and were
use the sails every day ; we passed
several important rivers and hrooVa
which to us were nameless, except
the Chien on the south side, on which
a branch of the Souex called Ch ns
reside ; it is upwards of 200 yard*
wide at the mouth.
On the 12th Sept, wc arrived at
the village ol the Richarees, who ap
peared much alarmed and refused to
come to council on that day or a'
all unless hostages were pxchang d.
