Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 1: Part IV.; Ethnology of the Gros Ventre The following information on the Gros Ventre was collected in the winter and early spring Of 1901, at the Fort Belknap Reservation in northern Mon tana, as part of the Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expedition. Very few of the statements made, unless such is obviously the case, are based on observation. In general, where nothing is said to the contrary, they are founded on state ments made by the Indians. The introductory explanations that have been made in regard to the Arapaho1 apply also to the following material. The alphabet used for rendering Gros Ventre words is the same as that employed for Arapaho. Additional sounds are 6 and ii, which are open, and k', a palatal k.

This study provides a cultural analysis of power and performance in Gros Ventre war expedition songs. Symbolic content of Gros Ventre myth and ritual is elicited as a tool for analyzing particular social relationships that motivate war expeditions as action and value. Mythological and musical analysis combine in an investigation of structural and performance devices that frame song as a system of communication.
