Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden: Agriculture of the Hidatsa IndiansBuffalo Bird Woman, a Hidatsa Indian born about 1839, was an expert gardener. Following centuries old methods, she and the women of her family raised huge crops of corn, squash, beans, and sunflowers on the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River in what is now North Dakota.

Buffalo Bird Woman, a Hidatsa Indian born about 1839, was an expert gardener. Following centuries-old methods, she and the women of her family raised huge crops of corn, squash, beans, and sunflowers on the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River in what is now North Dakota. When she was young, her fields were near Like-a-fishhook, the earth-lodge village that the Hidatsa shared with the Mandan and Arikara. When she grew older, the families of the three tribes moved to individual allotments on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

In Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden, first published in 1917, anthropologist Gilbert L. Wilson transcribed the words of this remarkable woman, whose advice today's gardeners can still follow. She describes a year of activities, from preparing and planting the fields through cultivating, harvesting, and storing foods. She gives recipes for cooking typical Hidatsa dishes. And she tells of the stories, songs, and ceremonies that were essential to a bountiful harvest.

A new introduction by anthropologist and ethnobotanist Jeffery R. Hanson describes the Hidatsa people's ecologically sound methods of gardening and Wilson's work with this traditional gardener.

Nice shirt, wrong color
The shirt is very nice, but was supposed to be "dirty blue. It is not. A;though the package clearly says "dirty blue", this shirt is a dark grey. Period. Now, that is not a bad thing, as my outfits can go with blue, grey or brown. But, when I order a particular shade or color, I do like to get it. The picture on the website depicting what a "dirty blue" shirt looks like, is nothing like what I received. But, i do like the shirt, and as it happens I like the color. Just not what I ordered. Now, the size is correct, and the fit is great. The material is nice and soft and quite comfortable to wear. It actually looks good on me! The quality of the shirt is excellent- the stitching, fabric and style. The price point is quite favorable, in fact, is is very good. The shirt, overall is a five star shirt, and would be- had i not received a grey shirt instead of a "dirty blue". Still, I would recommend this shirt, especially if color and shade is not paramount to you.

Very nice shirt and fits great
I ordered this shirt for my husband and he loves it! The size fits well and looks great both dressed up or down. The material is lightweight and breathable. He really liked that the buttons are hidden/protected under the outside flap. Overall, very happy with this order and would recommend to anyone.

Great summer shirt
This shirt fits extremely well, it is definitely true to size and no shrinkage or wrinkles after washing. It’s made with 75% polyester 20% viscose and 5% elastane (never heard of the last two). It is very soft and feels nice on the skin with a slight cooling effect. Perfect length to leave untucked. The color is very nice and it has 1 breast pocket with the short sleeves cuffed which makes the shirt look even better. It does have color matched buttons but when it is buttoned it has no show buttons which I think it would look nicer if it was just a regular button down. This shirt will definitely be in my spring and summer rotation.

Very well built, will last you a very long time
Style: Trifold, Style: Trifold
This wallet is very sturdy, and barely has any wear on it after I've purchased it over a year ago. Most wallets will start to greatly scuff, wear, or degrade/break down just from being taken in and out of your pocket but this wallet has held up particularly wear with VERY MINIMAL light scuffing. Quality leather so I know I will have this wallet for a very long time! It has great card holding capacity as i currently have about 10 cards in it and it still has a pretty slim profile. The wallet itself is a very nice, natural looking wallet. The ease of pulling cards in and out definitely has made me a fan.
