Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Winnebago Culture as Described by Themselves: The Orgin Myth of the Medicine Rite; Three Versions; The Historical Origins of the Medicine Rite
Since a detailed analysis and commentary is to follow in the next installment of these texts, only a few remarks are necessary here.
For the circumstances under which versions I and II Of The Origin Myth of the Medicine Rite were Obtained, the reader is referred to the circumstantial account I have given in The Road of Life and Death,1 pp. 36 - 49. Version III constitutes the first part of one of the various accounts of the Thunderbird Origin Myth. It was obtained in syllabary. The texts giving the accounts of the socalled historical origins Of the Medicine Rite constitute part Of the Medicine Rite itself and were obtained when that was secured.
