Thanks Randy!  The component parts of the Crow phrase appear so different from Ioway Otoe that I was unable to make an connections for an analysis.  Thank You
Hope to see you in 2013.

  It's pretty straight-forward.  awe' 'land' koota'a 'all over' bilaxpa'ak(e) 'people' kuxshi' 'help' sh 'definite article' 'helps people all over the land' 


  Sonny Black Eagle was a good man.  May he rest in peace.
