Any reference terms for frozen hide?

[Rankin, Robert L]

Bill,
 
Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help with this one.  Nothing in my files from Kansa or Quapaw.  Unfortunately most linguists don't collect a whole lot of specialized vocabulary -- and we should.  I fear a lot of the detailed terminology of traditional practices may be gone forever.  I'll be interested to see if anyone else has something for this.

I usually enjoy all your comments and observations, but I need your
help.
I could be losing it, but I could have sworn I read a Siouan term for a
worked hide that was put out in the cold after braining.
I cannot remember where I located that, but I cannot find the source
anywhere. If anyone knows of a reference to this please
let me know.

There are those that say this was not done, yet I have done it on
advise from the "granny squad" who did do it for their best hides.
Matters not which language, just sling the terms and references at me
if you know of them.
Thanks in advance. Billy Maxwell
