Traditional Cultures in South-East Asia
Mandan "History" as Reflected in Butterfly's Winter Count
James Howard's record of Butterfly's Mandan Winter Count recently printed in ETHNOHISTORY 1 prompts me to comment on the events reflected in Plains calendrical records and in the Mandan concept of history. One striking thing in Butterfly's count seems to me the mention of no less than six births: that of Buffalo-birdwoman in 1840-41, of Clay-nose in 1847, of Wolf-chief in 1849, of Charly Hoffman in 1869-70, of Goodbird in 1870 and of Many-paints …

The Classification of pottery types has apparently already reached a satisfactory degree of descriptive accuracy. Although problems remain, numerous site comparisons and important cultural connections have been based upon pottery. Classification of stone artifacts is not in so happy a state. Wheat has also recently called attention to this fact (1953, p. 196): “If cultures predominantly lithic in complexion are to be correlated satisfactorily wit…

Indians of the Urban Northwest
House Types of the Middle Fraser River
Ties between northeastern Asia and northwestern America are frequently postulated but have never been satisfactorily worked out in detail. Forms of subterranean or semi-subterranean houses and of large plank buildings were known in both regions and this fact has been used to suggest northern Asiatic-American relationships. It seems clear that some prehistoric ties did exist between the two regions but their exact nature remains unknown. Fuller da…

A Note on Extinct Fauna and Man
In the last issue of American Antiquity, Cressman and Laughlin describe probable artifacts in association with mammoths in the Williamette Valley, Oregon. This association reminded me of a queer detail picked up in Puget Sound, Washington. While giving incidental vocabulary, a Puyallup informant named one too many members of the local cat family: cougar, panther, mountain lion, and a fourth, lion. The Salish term for the latter, he explained, was…
