<div class="MsoNormal">Off the top of my head, I don't remember any data on
polyandry among the Lakota, neither from the literature nor from my own fieldwork,
but this oldie but goodie would be worth checking on in this respect:</div>

<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">My Anthropology Department Chair Ray
Hames brought me a copy of James Walker's LAKOTA SOCIETY with an inquiry.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">He and a student are preparing a journal
article describing polyandry (a woman having more than one husband).</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">They are finding accounts of this practice
in groups outside of the regularly cited groups known to use this strategy.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">In the Walker case, there is no reference
or citation as to the source of his statement regarding polyandry among
the Lakota.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I have included the paragraph that mentions
polyandry from page 55 of Walker's book for your reference.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Ray Hames also inquired as to the meaning
of the second husband being considered "buried"</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Does anyone know of this practice among
the Lakota or other Siouan groups?</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I am not aware of it among the Omaha.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I would presume that if such a practice
existed there would be a term for that names this arrangement, the second
husband, terms of relations, etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thanks</font>
