Here are the Mandan names for the five Knife River villages.
Big Hidatsa 32me12 (Hidatsa) Wi?ti Writari sh = Village of Water Crossers.
Sakakawia 32me11(Hidatsa) Mi?ti Xata sh = Village Spread Out.
Awahami 32me8 (Hidatsa) Wi?ti Aki sh = Village Above
Rutare 32mL5 (Mandan) Wi?ti Aki sh = High Village
Deapolis 32me5 (Mandan) Wi/tutahank / Mi?tituhako? sh = East Village Mi/ti Sanka sh = village few.
I see that Awahami and Rutare have the same name. Anyone have something different?
