Analysis of maize from the four bear site and two other Arikara locations in South Dakota - USA : University of Chicago Press, 1960. - Printed
Altohough the Arikara hunted bison, deer, bear, elk, and other animals, maize was the basic food staple. So important was maize to Arikara economy that their name in sign language was a hand motion representing the grinding of corn. However, up to this time little study has been made of the association of maize with this ethnic group. It is hoped that this paper will offer a small contribution on this subject and inspire further study.
