Native American Tribe series.
Assiniboine, aka: Stoney


A tribe with very close affinities to the Nakota Sioux, the differences in dialect between the two suggesting a time of separation sometime before 1640. The Assiniboine call themselves "Nakoda." In 1658, they were living at Lake Alimibeg, between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. At an earlier time they were probably at the headwaters of the Mississippi and drifted north from the constant warfare with the Dakota. They are of plains culture, and in dress are not much different from their neighbors, the Cree. They also practice polygamy an were known to sacrifice dogs to the spirits. Their name comes from Anishinaabe word that translates to "cooks by the use of stones."

My faithful dog Dubarry and I had an awesome 7-mile, 11-geocache hike around White Ranch Park today. It's always terrific to play hooky from work on a weekday and get out and do something like this. Thanks to the CO for helping make it possible.

Loved the view from here. Thanks for the cache.


Drove over here from Denver to grab some of these caches. Got settled in the parking lot around 10:30am and started my adventure. Roughly 8.5 miles and 4.5 hours later, I was back at the car. Found 15/15 caches and was happy with my day. Every cache was found in good condition. The trail was very well-marked and was one of the least muggle-filled ones I have been on since moving to Denver. Overall, great day. Thanks for all the caches.
