Note 331 — Chapter XXV · ACCOUNT OF THE MANDAN INDIANS (continued 2)
Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
Compare the accounts of mourning in James's Long's Expedition, our volume xv, pp. 66-68, and Boller, Among the Indians, p. 70. Mutilation was practiced by many tribes as a sign of mourning; see Yarrow, "Further Contributions to the Study of Mortuary Customs."—Ed.
