Abstract
This monograph is concerned largely with the description of sacred bundles and their contents. The bundles described were collected in Oklahoma and Iowa by the Heye Expedition. Such information as the bundle owners were willing to give concerning the use and traditions surrounding the bundles is also included. Materials pertaining exclusively to the Sac have not been categorized. Since the author frequently does not differentiate between the Sac and Fox, those materials that are attributed to the 'Sac and Fox', as well as those specifically attributed to the Fox, have been marked with OCM category numbers.
