The story of Monegaw, a chief of the Osages . s the onlymelody known. Nature played for her children her ownlove serenade and whispered to them in a language whichthey could well understand. When the moon had gone down behind the hill anda great, dark shadow had crept across the river Monegawarose and left Pocahalmas dwelling. The next day hecame and arranged with the old blanket maker what priceshould be paid for his daughter. Monegaw willinglyagreed to give, in payment for his bride, one hundred ofthe best and swiftest horses of his herd. This was a mostunusual price, as the ordinary number was from twentyto fifty, according to the wealth and ardor of the suitor.When Monegaw came with the horses he brought othergifts also—many bright colored beads, long strings of the teeth of the wild animals he had slain, many other trinketsand much silver. All these gifts he gave in exchange forPocahalma, a most unusual offering. From this event theyoung warrior became known as ^lonegaw which, be-ing interpreted, means owner of much money.. THE OSAGE OF TODAY MONEGAWAS CHIEF MONEGAW AS CHIEF. The Osages were the most powerful and warlike ofall the southern Sioux, and they were hostile to all otherIndians, including the Kansas tribe which spoke a dialedsimilar to their own. The Osages had engaged in manybloody battles, but of these the one with the Pawnees wasthe most memorable. These powerful tribes met in com-bat upon the banks of the Osage River. Ail day long theirfierce war-cry echoed through the valley. The rich, redblood of the fighters was mingled with the clear watersof the river and at nightfall a thousand brave warriorshad been slain. The fight was not resumed the next morn-ing for the Pawnees had been defeated and many of theirbraves called home to Tirawa, the Great Spirit. Monegaw was the hero of this famous battle; manywarriors fell at his hands. From that day his name be-came known throughout the Indian land and in less thana year he was made chief of the Osages.
