Note 275 — Chapter XXV · ACCOUNT OF THE MANDAN INDIANS
Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
Brackenridge, p. 71, is very much mistaken in believing that the Mandans and Manitaries worship only buffalo heads, for, if the latter are medicine, it is incontrovertibly true that they believe in a number of superior beings who make a figure in their mythology.—Maximilian.
