creative power which brings into existence all living things of
whatever kind, they believe that this great power resides in the
air, the blue sky, the clouds, the stars, the sun, the moon, and the
earth, and keeps them in motion. Sometimes the Osage speak of a
tree, a rock, or prominent hill as wa-ḳóⁿ-da, but when asked if his
people had great numbers of wa-ḳóⁿ-das he would reply, “Not so,
there is but one God and his presence is in all things and is
everywhere. We say a tree is wa-ḳoⁿ-da because in it also wa-ḳóⁿ-da
resides.” The Omaha, Ponca, and Kaw cognate tribes also use the
name just as here written and give it the same meaning [FL-Osage];

James Owen Dorsey attempted on
several occasions to understand what was meant by “wakaⁿda”. From
his accounts, taken from members of the various tribes, it is clear
that the traditional belief of all of the Dhegiha tribes was that
there were many “wakáⁿdas”. [Kaw]
