The American Indian Studies Research Institute, hosted by the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences, has an important resource for all Sanish (Arikara) people, scholars and students - a large body of anthropologist Melvin Gilmore's papers on tribal culture. Here is the link:

Gilmore is from here in Lincoln and has long been an ethnobotany hero of mine. I've started a new project on Great Plains botany/horticulture---the relationship between peoples and plants., so on my last research trip I looked at his collections in North Dakota repositories. And there is a lot of his stuff here at the Nebraska State Historical Society, where he worked.
His Arikara work is great; it's wonderful that it's on line.
