proper noun: place & personal names 
 
 
The creek's name comes from the burial of tent skins and other belongings there when the maha tribe went against the Otos to avenge horses which the Otos had stolen. When the Omahas returned they dug up the tent skins. This happened about 85 years before JOD recorded it; ie in the early 20th century.
