The next interview was with Pauline Greywater, born May 19, 1928. The interview took place July 21, 1992, outside of Fort Totten, ND. She also specialized in Dakota folklore. The focus of her interview was Devils Lake. It was called Mne Wakan, Spirit Water, Holy Water, and the Powers of the Water. Misinterpretation led to the name Devils Lake.
Also interviewed July 21, 1992 was Lillian Chase, born October 11, 1902. She is the great granddaughter of Chief Sleepy Eye. The stories that she tells are stories that she heard from her grandmother, Shining Wind. Her stories involved Iktomi, the trickster, and the dirty works of Ukto.
