While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Many tribes have sub-tribes, bands, gens,
clans and phratry. Often very little
information is known or they no longer
exist. We have included them here to
provide more information about the tribes.

Itscheabine. A division of the Assiniboin, numbering
850, including 250 warriors, in 100 tipis, when seen by Lewis and Clark in 1804,
at which time they roved on the headwaters of Mouse (Souris), Qu'Appelle, and
Assiniboine rs., in the United States and Canada. In 1808, according to Henry (Coues,
New Light, n, 522, 1897), they were at enmity with the Dakota, Shoshoni, and
with some of the Arikara and other tribes, but were friendly with the Cree. They
lived by hunting, conducting trade with the Hudson's Bay, Northwest, and N. Y.
fur companies, whose posts were 150 m. N. of Ft Mandan. They are said to have
paid little attention to their engagements and were great drunkards. In 1853
they numbered 10 lodges under chief Les Yeux Gris. (F. W. H.)
