Bur. Amer. Ethn., pp. 277-285), relating to the mythical story of the
descent of the people from the upper to the lower world, these two
gentes are mentioned. A paraphrase of this part is here given:
PARAPHRASE OF WI´-GI-E RELATING TO THE NI´-ḲA WA-ḲOⁿ-DA-GI AND THE
THO´-XE GENTES
The Messenger
Then hastened down
To the fourth division of the heavens,
Close to it he stood and paused
And lo, Ni´-ḳa Wa-ḳoⁿ-da-gi, Man of Mysteries,
Appeared before him.
The Messenger turned and said to his followers: Here stands a man,
Verily, one who inspires fear.
I truly believe his name is, Fear-inspiring.
The Man of Mysteries spake, saying: I am a person of whom your
little ones may well make their bodies.
When your little ones make of me their bodies,
They shall be free from all causes of death.
They shall take the name Little-hawk,
To use as their personal name,
Then shall they be able to live to see old age.
Woman-hawk
Is also a name that I have.
Your little ones shall use it as their personal name,
Then shall they be able to live to old age.
The Messenger quickly passed on
To Tho´-xe, who appeared in the form of a buffalo bull.
Close to him the Messenger stood and spake,
Saying: O, Grandfather!
Then, turning toward his followers, he said: Here stands a man,
Verily, a man who inspires fear.
Then Tho´-xe spake, saving: I am a person of whom your little ones
may well make their bodies.
Thereupon he threw himself upon the earth,
And the blazing star, a purple flower,
Sprang up from the soil and stood, pleasing to the sense of sight.
And Tho´-xe spake, saying: This plant shall be medicine for your
little ones,
It shall make their limbs to lengthen in growth,
And they shall be able to live to see old age.
Again Tho´-xe threw himself upon the earth
And the poppy mallow
Sprang from the soil and stood, beautiful, in its red blossoms.
Then Tho´-xe spake, saying: Of this plant also,
Your little ones shall make their bodies,
They shall use it as medicine
And it shall make their limbs to lengthen in growth.
It is astringent to the taste,
Therefore you shall name your little ones Astringent.
When the little ones make of this plant their bodies,
They shall be able to live to see old age.
At the time this work was begun the greater portion of the Osage
people had practically ceased to observe the ancient custom of cutting
the hair of their children in the prescribed symbolic fashion, and
those who continued the practice were reluctant to speak of it on
account of its sacred and mysterious character. For this reason it
was not possible to make an exhaustive study of the hair cut of the
various gentes of the tribe. In the days when the rite was generally
and strictly observed the girl, when she had attained the age of ten,
was permitted to let her hair grow long, and the boy was allowed to
wear his hair in the same style as that of all the grown men; that
is, all the hair of the head cut close excepting a crest beginning
at the middle of the crown and terminating with a long braided tail
called he-ga´-xa, horn, that hangs down the back of the head and on the
shoulder. (Pl. 11.) The braided tail is called “a´-çku” by the Omaha
and the Ponca Indians.
The Ponca and the Omaha, who were at one time a part of the Osage
tribe, also had the same tribal custom of ceremonially cutting the hair
of the children. The ritual used in the ceremony is a supplication to
Wa-ḳoⁿ´-da to favor the child with a long and fruitful life.
In the course of her ethnological work among the Omahas in the years
1881-83, Miss Alice C. Fletcher undertook to gather information about
the symbolic hair cut of the children of that tribe. At first she made
slow progress because the Indians were unwilling to speak of matters
that form a part of the tribal rites. One day, at the house of Xo´-ga,
the members of the family and some visitors were speaking of Miss
Fletcher’s difficulty in gathering information about the hair cut, when
the old man caught his little boy and, holding him fast between his
knees, proceeded to cut his hair. The little fellow fought manfully but
in a short time he stood with his head closely sheared, with locks left
uncut here and there. The father swung the boy to his back and as he
started to go he said: “That white woman is my friend and I am going
to help her.” He carried the child to Miss Fletcher and as he put him
down before her he said, “That’s the hair cut of our gens. (See fig.
5, No. 2.) It is the picture of a bison; you can’t see it [the bison]
but we can. You may make a sketch of it and write about it as much as
you like.” The lady looked for a moment in silence at the locks and
the little shorn head, then, with a hearty laugh and a handclap, she
snatched up paper and pencil to make a sketch of the locks and the
shorn head, to the delight of all the Indians present. Thereafter she
had no trouble in getting information about the hair cut of all the
gentes.
FONDNESS OF PERSONAL ADORNMENT
Like their relatives, the Omaha and the Ponca, the Osage people have
a fondness for personal adornment. Much paint is used in decorating
the face and body. Most of the lines and figures drawn upon the face
and body are symbolic, as, for instance, a woman paints the parting
of her hair almost daily. The red line symbolizes the path of the sun
which forever passes over the earth and gives to it vitality. It is a
sign of supplication for the continuity of life by procreation. Or, a
man of the Life-giver gens paints his face all yellow with a narrow
black line running diagonally across his face from one corner of his
forehead down to the lower jaw on the opposite side. This is the life
sign ceremonially put upon a captive when the word is passed by the
Life-giver gens that the captive shall be permitted to live. A downy
feather worn upright on the crown of the head by a man symbolizes the
sun which brings life to the earth in material form. The white shell
gorget which a man wears as a pendant on his necklace is also a symbol
of the life-giving sun.
EAR PERFORATING
Down to recent times the Osage men have been sacrificing the
shapeliness of their external ears to the gratification of their
fondness for adornment. In ordinary times, and particularly on festal
days, the Osage men weighted their ears with strings of wampum or
other ornaments made of bone or shells and silver earbobs which were
introduced by traders. The weight of the earrings and the crowding of
the holes in the ears with the rings enlarge the perforations to an
extraordinary size. (Pl. 11.) The holes, which are bored along the rim
of the pinna, were made by the same men who performed the ceremony
connected with the perforating. These men provided themselves with
perforating instruments made of sharpened bone, wooden expanders,
and little blocks of wood against which the ear is pressed when
performing the operation. (Pl. 12.) For a long time Wa´-thu-xa-ge and
Ṭsi´-zhu-zhiⁿ-ga held this office. The former died a few years ago.
Both of these men were members of the Peace gens of the Ṭsi´-zhu great
tribal division. An Osage was asked why the ears of the children were
bored and he replied that the children whose ears were bored were apt
to be better behaved than those whose ears were not perforated.
