<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am going to be gone for a few days to the
American Indian Higher education Consortium (AIHEC) in Fargo, ND.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So while I am gone I have two more
topics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wazican is a pine tree in Dakota.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Waziyata is toward the north or pine
trees.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Instead of zi being a reference to yellow, I
thought it was zhi, to murmur or whisper, as the wind blowing through the pine
branches in the winter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Over time has the zhi changed to zi?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The dragonfly is a symbol of warrior swiftness, it
is used on a number of artifacts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I noticed Father Buechel left the term blank in his
Lakota dictionary.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here at Ft. Totten there are two terms for a
dragonfly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ps'ko (spelling?) used for the sound they make as
they fly, and susbeca.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Father Buechel has the ps'ko listed under birds, as
a Night Hawk. probably an old term because they eat mosquitoes at
night.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any thoughts,</FONT></DIV>
