Abstract
Drawing on narratives of informants belonging to the last generation to come of age prior to resettlement on a reservation, this study details both the ancient “dog complex” among the Hidatsa and the quite recently introduced “horse complex” that was still in the process of displacing it. Along with detailed descriptions of equipment and procedures used in animal transportation, boats and river navigation are also covered. Accounts of hunting expeditions feature all three means of travel and campground life.
