Can O’ti na

Sources attach this name to the 1 place below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.

NPS relates Yankton traditions of Can O’ti na, or Little Tree Dwellers, associated with the mound. The reports at Spirit Mound Historic Prairie are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. Sources including 'Spirit Mound' keep the claim in circulation. The name travels further than the proof; the sightings keep renewing the lease.
