CROW

#19 The Lowest of the Low
     (William Wildschut, 1918-1927, 1960)

Lowest on the list of the dead were the suicides and the murderers. Their souls could not enter the “other Side Camp,” but roamed the earth as ghosts.

[#19] Crow Indian Medicine Bundles. William Wildschut. New York: Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, 1975.
