Spirit (Midē') taking “medicine root.”
See me whose head is out of the water.
Otters, two spirits, the left-hand one being the “speaker.”
The Midē' song, Pl. XVIII, D, was also copied by “Little Frenchman” upon birchbark, from one in the possession of his preceptor, but upon which he had not yet received careful instruction; hence the incompleteness of some of his interpretations. It is reproduced from Pl. XXII, B, of the Seventh Ann. Rep. Bureau of Ethnology.
I am sitting down with my pipe.
Man sitting, holding a pipe. He has been called upon to “make medicine.” The short lines beneath the body represent that he is seated. He holds a filled pipe which he is not yet smoking.
I, me the spirit, the spirit of the owl.
