Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 1: Part IV.; Ethnology of the Gros Ventre The following information on the Gros Ventre was collected in the winter and early spring Of 1901, at the Fort Belknap Reservation in northern Mon tana, as part of the Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expedition. Very few of the statements made, unless such is obviously the case, are based on observation. In general, where nothing is said to the contrary, they are founded on state ments made by the Indians. The introductory explanations that have been made in regard to the Arapaho1 apply also to the following material. The alphabet used for rendering Gros Ventre words is the same as that employed for Arapaho. Additional sounds are 6 and ii, which are open, and k', a palatal k.

Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 7 David C. Duvall died at his home in Browning, Montana, July 10, 1911. He was thirty-three years old. His mother was a Piegan; his father a Canadian-French fur trade employe at Ft. Benton. He was educated at Fort Hall Indian School and returned to the Reservation at Browning, where he maintained a blacksmith shop. The writer first met him in 1903 while 'collecting among his people. Later, he engaged him as interpreter. Almost from the start he took an unusual interest in the work. He was of an investigating turn of mind and possessed of considerable linguistic ability. On his own initiative he set out to master the more obscure and less used parts of his mother tongue', having, as he often said, formed an ambition to become its most accurate translator into English. As time went on, he began to assist in collecting narratives and statements from the older people. Here his interest and skill grew so that during the fast year of his life he contributed several hundred pages of manuscript. These papers have furnished a considerable part of the data on the Blackfoot so far published by this Museum and offer material for several additional studies. As they by no means exhaust the field his untimely death is a distinct loss. To this work Mr. Duvall brought no ethnological theories, his whole concern being to render faithfully into English as complete information oh the subjects assigned as could be found among the best informed Indians! Not being in any sense ah adherent of Blackfoot religion, he looked upon all beliefs and ceremonies as curious and interesting phenomena worthy of sympathetic investigation.
