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!
San Arcs (French trans. of
Itazipcho 'without bows,' from itazipa, 'bow,' and cho,
abbrev of chodan, ;without;). A band of the Teton Sioux,
Hayden about 1860, says that they and the Hunkpapa and Sihasapa "occupy
nearly the same district and are so often camped near each other, and are
otherwise so connected in their operations as scarcely to admit of being
treated separately." On the other hand, Warren (Dacota Country) indicates
that their closest relations were with the Miniconjou.
Their divisions as given by Swift in a letter to Dorsey
(1884) are:
1 Itazipcho (Without bows);
2 Shinalutaoin (Scarletcloth earring);
3 Wolutayuta (Eat-dried venison-from-the-hind-quarter);
4 Mazpegnaka (Wear-metal-in-the-hair);
5 Tatankachesli (Dung-of-a-buffalo-bull) ;
6 Shikshichela (Bad-ones-of-different-kinds)
7 Tiyopaoshanunpa (Smokes-at-the-entrance-to-the-lodge
The Sans Arcs entered into a peace treaty with the
United States at Ft Sully, S. Dak., Oct. 20, 1865, and were a party also
to the treaty of Ft Laramie, Wyo., Apr. 29, 1868. Bowpith.-Warren, Dacota
Country, 16, 1856.
