Hotc‰k Text -- Turtle's Warparty

narrated by Charlie N. Houghton

interlinear translation by Oliver LaMre

There are three sources upon which the present text is based, the interlinear (I), which was the initial transcription apparently based upon a series of phonograph recordings, a new technology in 1908. The seconds and definitive interlinear is by Oliver LaMre, and represents a revision of I. The last is the untranslated but corrected phonetic text (Ph).

The interlinear MS (I), is written in dark pencil in a fairly clear hand. The Hotcâk text appears to have been written on unlined paper with a space left open below each line for the translation, which was written in later. It is thoroughly translated compared to many of his later MSS. The story begins about 2/3 of the way down the page and is identified by a title line beginning at the left margin that reads, "XXXV Informant -- Charlie N. Houghton" after which the word "Copied" is written and underlined. This word is written in ink and apparently in the same hand as the phonetic MS Ph.

The phonetic MS (Ph) is written in ink in a clear hand with good definition. It is a phonetic text without translation. Near the left margin, 2 inches from the top, is written "XI", identifying the story number. Directly below, flush with the left margin, is written, "Told by C. Houghton July 1908." This is set off by a series of horizontal dashes from one margin to the other, both above and below the line identifying the author. The MS is paragraphed by initial 2 inch indentations. Ph appears to be an attempt at a final draft by Radin himself. In many ways it is hyper-corrected, and uses an orthography which came to be quickly out dated by Radin's own standards. However, it is useful in sometimes supplying accents that are not indicated in the other manuscripts.

The MS OL is an interlinear translation written in ink by Oliver LaMre in alternating lines of Hotc‰k and English. The text occupies the center half of each page with very large upper and lower margins. On the first page, the title and authorship is centered as follows:

II

How Turtle went on the Warpath

Told by Charlie Houghton

Translated by Oliver Lamere

There are four sets of pagination, one in the upper right of each page, and three in the upper left. The most prominent of the three in the upper left, which runs from 290-313, was chosen for the OL pagination of this version of the text.

The orthography adopted for the text here presented is not that of any one MS, but the one that Radin used in his last works. The orthography, however, should not in any way distort the record of Houghton's words.

**In I, this is followed by a footnote number 2, which reads at the bottom of the page, "noise of lightning". OL has a footnote 3: "suppose to be noise imitating lightning". In I, this word is inserted into its present postion with an arrow and the word eg‡dj‰ just after it has been crossed out. In Ph, the word occurs after Woirak'irak'œni.
