All winter the child stayed in'the tepee, Usually it was tied to a board, which was the only c1adle provided by the Osages for their babes. Outside the tepee the snow lay upon the ground or drifted about in the cold gusts of wind. But when Springtime came, Shinkah (child) was placed outside the tepee where the other children played. When the gun shone warm and bright the babe' 'cooed and smiled, and when the children at play laughed loudly In their glee, he too laughed. So In that quiet val ley spring passed into summer.
