| Summary |
""I was born in an earth lodge by the mouth of the Knife River, in what is now North Dakota, three years after the smallpox winter."" So begins the story of Waheenee, a Hidatsa Indian woman, born in 1839 amid a devastated tribe. In 1906 Gilbert L. Wilson first visited the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and began to study the remnants of the Hidatsa tribe.

One of his chief informants was Waheenee-wea, or B. |
