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!
Hunkpatina (
campers at the end of the circle ). One of the two primary divisions of the
Yanktonai Sioux, commonly known as Lower Yanktonai, from their former range on
lower James r. of E. South Dakota. The Hunkpatina are seemingly referred to for
the first time, in whole or in part, by Lewis and Clark, in 1804, under the name
Honetaparteen, as a division of the Yankton of the N. They were on intimate
terms with the Upper Yanktonai, who ranged about the upper waters of the James.
They are now chiefly on Crow Creek res., S. Dak., where they numbered 1,009 in
1905. In 1866 they were estimated at 2,100. Some others appear to be attached to
Standing Rock agency, N. Dak. Their bands, as given by J. O. Dorsey (15th
Rep. B. A. E., 218, 1897), are: Putetemini (Sweat-lips), Shungikcheka
(Common dogs), Takhuhayuta ( Eat-the-scrapings-of-hides), Sangona (Shot-at-some-
white-object), Ihasha (Red-lips), Iteghu (Burnt-face), Pteyuteshni (
Eat-no-buff a-lo-cows).
