Excerpt from Contributions to Fox Ethnology II In the summer of 1926 I secured from an informant (whose name is withheld by agreement) a text written in the current Fox syllabary on the Buffalo dance of the Bear gens. Though this text is not as complete regarding certain details as desirable, and ends in the middle of a sentence, nevertheless it contains much information hitherto unknown; and the speech of Pa'citonigwa (p. 22 of the Indian text, p. 23 of the English translation) is one of the finest specimens of Fox oratory known to me. It is therefore distinctly worth publishing. Although, as stated above, the name of the Fox informant is withheld by agreement, it is no breach of confidence to say that he is the author of several Fox syllabic texts on gens festivals the phonetic restorations of which, as well as English translations thereof, I have previously presented (e. g., Observations on the Thunder Dance of the Bear Gens of the Fox Indians, Bull. 89, Bur. Amer. Ethn.), as well as a couple of Fox syllabic texts the English translations of which alone I have presented (Bull. 85, Bur. Amer. Ethn., pp. 97, 117). On the basis of the information furnished hitherto I consider the informant perfectly reliable. However, the present account contains a number of facts which can be definitely checked, besides the very obvious resemblance of the particular gens festival described to Fox gens festivals in general. First of all, I know that every person mentioned (with one possible exception) is a Fox Indian; that is, the names are not fictitious. Secondly, in practically all cases where the tribal dual division, or the gens, or the society is given in combination with the personal names, they can be substantiated. So John Bear (Ci'cigwana'sa) on page 15 is said to be a Ki'cko, which I know to be true from another source (cf. also Bull. 89, Bur. Amer. Ethn, p. 3). Similarly John Leaf (Ta'tapago'a) is said (p. 9) to be a member of the War Chiefs gens: which is corroborated by personal knowledge as well as by the statements of other informants.

Book Description
Excerpt from Contributions to Fox Ethnology The information contained in the Indian text of this paper was obtained by Harry Lincoln from a reliable informant whose name is withheld, as it would diminish his social prestige owing to the very conservative character of the Fox Indians. Harry Lincoln was obliged to write out the information from memory only; and he subsequently dictated the text written in the current syllabary. The Indian text accordingly is restored by me according to his phonetics. It is proper to note that one or two sentences have been slightly modified by me to agree with what I conceive Fox grammar to be. The English translation is based on a paraphrase written out by George Young Bear, corrected and supplemented by a grammatical analysis of the Indian text by myself. A full list of all verbal stems is not given as I have previously (Fortieth Ann. Kept. Bur. Amer. Ethn., p. 616) published a list of Fox stems which contains nearly all those in the Indian text of the present paper. So I give only those which are not in the former list. For a similar reason only a few grammatical notes are given. But as the English translation is as close to the Indian original as is consistent with English idiomatic usage, with these helps the serious student will have little difficulty in working out the Indian text. I do not pretend that the information given in this volume on the "ceremonial runners" (or "ceremonial messengers") of the Fox Indians is as full as desirable in all particulars. At the same time it is much more than was previously known. The only reference of any importance on the ceremonial runners of the Fox Indians (Meskwakis) is the half page (61) by M. A. Owen, Folk-Lore of the Musquakie Indians. It is not clear whether Catlins remarks on the slave dance (North Amer. Indians, ed. 1913, vol. ii, pp. 241-242, and the accompanying plate) refer to the Sauk or the Fox Indians. It is highly probable that those of Galland on the ceremonial runners (Indian Tribes of the West, in Annals of Iowa, 1869, p. 350 et seq.) refer to the Sauk and not the Fox.
