Abstract
THE tribe of American Indians selected by Dr. Densmore for the researches now published is the Teton division of the dakota Sioux tribe, to which the United States Government in 1868 assigned the portion of territory known as the Standing Rock Reservation, comprising some twenty million acres of the provinces of North and South Dakota. Strictly speaking, “Dakota” is the name applicable to the natives rather than to the region, and the largest division of the tribe or nation was known as Ti′toηwaη, whence the contraction Teton.
