To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
§ 206. Lyud' says that to the human body the Dakota give four spirits : The lirst is supposed to be a spirit of the body^ which dies with the body. The second is a spirit which always remains with or near the body. Another is the soul which accounts for the deeds of the Ijody, and is supposed by some to go to the south, by others to the west, after the death of the l)ody. The fourth always lingers with the small bundle of the hair of the deceased, kept by the relatives until they have a chance ...to throw it into the enemy's country, when it becomes a roving spirit, bring- ing death and disease to the enemy in whose country it remains. From this belief arose the practice of wearing four scalp feathers for each enemy slain in battle, one for each spirit.
§ 2G7. "Some Sioux claim a fifth scalp feather, averring that there is a fifth spirit, which enters the body of some animal or child after death. As far as I am aware, this belief is not general, though they differ in their accounts of the spirits of man, even in number.
