1873 W. Matthews Gram. & Dict. Lang. Hidatsa p. xvi The origin of the word Hidatsa is obscure, yet it is the name by which these Indians now designate themselves... One of their villages on Knife River was named Hidatsa; and probably when they were reduced by smallpox the majority of survivors came from that village, which then lent its name to the whole Tribe... The name Hidatsa is said by some to mean ‘willows’.
1890 J. G. Frazer Golden Bough II. iv. 339 Some of the Hidatsa Indians explain the phenomena of gradual death..by supposing that man has four souls.
1911 J. G. Frazer Golden Bough: Magic Art (ed. 3) I. iii. 55 Similar practices are reported among the Illinois, the Mandans, and the Hidatsas of North America.
